‘PM Modi's Make in India was a good idea but…': Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha
By : Sandhya
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said on Monday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' initiative was a good idea but it failed.
"The Prime Minister proposed the 'Make in India' program, I think it was a good idea...The result is right in front of you, manufacturing fell from 15.3% of GDP in 2014 to 12.6% of GDP today, which is the lowest share of manufacturing in 60 years. I am not blaming the Prime Minister, it would not be fair to say that he did not try. I could say that the Prime Minister tried but he failed," he said in the parliament.
"We have as a country failed in organising production and handed it over to the Chinese," he added. Addressing the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said both the NDA and UPA governments faltered in generating adequate employment.
