Rahul Gandhi Criticizes 'Make in India' as Mere Assembly Line

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the Indian government's 'Make in India' initiative, labeling it a facade that focuses on assembly rather than true manufacturing and called for policy changes to foster real production growth.

In a pointed critique of the government's 'Make in India' initiative, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused the scheme of merely assembling rather than manufacturing, urging for deeper ground-level changes.

Gandhi articulated his concerns via a social media post, emphasizing the need for India to become a true manufacturing powerhouse capable of competing with China.

The opposition leader highlighted the dependency on foreign components in Indian-made products and criticized the lack of supportive policies for local entrepreneurs during his visit to a TV assembly unit in Greater Noida.
