Rahul Gandhi Warns Centre for its dependence on Chinese goods & collapse of ‘Make in India’
On Monday, the fourth day of “Budget Session of Parliament for 2025” heated arguments and debates continued over the Union Budget for 2025-26. The highlight of today’s debate is the Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi’s accusations over the Central Government for its major dependence on Chinese goods and the collapse of the “Make In India” initiative. He underscored the statement of the Chief of Army that the Chinese are inside the Indian territory “this is a fact”. He further continued,
“The reason China is sitting inside this country is because ‘Make in India’ has failed. The reason China is sitting inside this country is because India is refusing to produce, and I am worried that India is going to give up this revolution to the Chinese once again”
He registered his strong condemnation and warning by quoting a hypothetical situation in future that if India happens to fight a war against China then India’s defense system will be fighting with, “Chinese electric motors, Chinese batteries, and Chinese optics”. This might happen due to the failure of Make in India.
“We have a strategic partner called the United States. The partnership should focus on how India and the United States can work together to take advantage of this revolution. India is as important as the US for the simple reason that they cannot build an industrial system without us” he added.
He stated that the address of President for the two houses which seemed to be similar of last year’s looked like as “laundry list” and it further sparked a huge exchange of words in the house of Parliament.
