Congress president Rahul Gandhi targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ and called it a failure.
He said that all our products, whether clothes or shoes, are marked as ‘Made in China’ instead of ‘Made in India’. He also said that it’s his dream to have mobile phones which have ‘Made in India’ or ‘Made in Karnataka’ written on them.
Gandhi also targeted employment under modi’s reign. He said that on a daily basis, China creates 50,000 jobs for its people but our Prime Minister only manages to create employment for 450 people per day.
He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of favouring the "super rich" and questioned why he had still not appointed a Lokpal to fight corruption.
Gandhi, who has been targeting Modi in all public rallies in poll-bound Karnataka, also quizzed Modi over his "silence" on issues such as the Punjab National Bank fraud.
Hitting out at the Prime Minister over issues such as employment generation and for not announcing loan waivers for farmers, Gandhi said:
Alleging that money power, marketing, television and the media were on the side of the BJP, Gandhi said that despite all these, the Congress would win the Assembly polls in Karnataka because the party has support from poor and weaker sections.
State Assembly polls are expected to be held in April/May.
