Maha: Fadnavis takes dig at Rahul Gandhi over Make in India
Nagpur, June 22 (UNI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday took a dig at senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, for having no knowledge of the 'Make in India' initiative.
Talking to reporters after reviewing various projects here, he claimed that Rahul Gandhi does not even know what is the Make in India.
"Rahul Gandhi does not know what is being built in the country, so he does not know Make in India. When the Congress was in power, India's economy was the 11th largest in the world. However. in last 10 years, India has become the fourth largest economy in the world," the CM said and asked Rahul Gandhi to do his homework on this.
Fadnavis reviewed various projects in Nagpur such as underground electricity in connection with the construction of STP on the Nag river and vehicle parking outside the city.

Congress silent on US strike in Iran after slamming Israel; Left parties condemn Trump's attack
Congress on Sunday remained silent on the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites , a sharp contrast to the fierce criticism of AICC and the party brass, including its president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, against Israel's attacks on Iran. The main opposition party had also been criticising the Modi government for not condemning the Israeli attacks on Iran. However, the five Left parties on Sunday condemned the US action in Iran. While the US bombing of Iran happened early on Sunday (India time), but till evening neither AICC nor the Gandhis had issued any statement of condemnation of the Trump administration's military action. AICC held no official press briefing on Sunday. In a joint statement, the five Left parties said: "It is ironic that US, the only country to have ever used a nuclear now speaking about the threat of nuclear weapons! The US attack will, in all likelihood, drastically escalate the conflict, with disastrous implications for global peace and the livelihoods of ordinary people - especially in countries like India... The Indian government must immediately abandon its pro-US, pro-Israel foreign policy stance..." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Happens When You Massage Baking Soda Into Your Scalp Read More
