PM urges people to choose India-made goods

Dahod: Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on the people of the country to start using goods that are made in India.

The PM was in Dahod to begin work on or inaugurate a series of projects, worth Rs 24,000 crore, including the inauguration of a railway electric locomotive unit built with an investment of Rs 21,000 crore. The PM reached Dahod after holding a roadshow in Vadodara. The Valsad-Dahod Intercity Express was also flagged off on the occasion. This was the PM's first visit to the state after Operation Sindoor . Speaking in Dahod, Modi lauded how the country was manufacturing not only for its own needs but for exports too. He said that the country was exporting smartphones, cars, toys, arms and medicines today.

He added that Dahod was an example of these developments.

Modi said that on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, we brought 'Ganpati idols with small eyes'. "We get not our Ganpati, but foreign Ganpati. When Holi or Diwali come, we buy crackers and pichkaris made abroad," he said. Notably, former defence minister late Manohar Parrikar once said that the eyes of Ganpati idols made in China were narrower.
