The ruling party's reaction came after Gandhi, in a post on X, said Prime Minister Modi did not mention Make in India in his speech in the Lok Sabha and asserted that he must acknowledge that the initiative was a failure.

"It is good that Rahul Gandhi has finally acknowledged a fact the entire nation already knew that even after a decade in power, the UPA utterly failed to create jobs or strengthen India's manufacturing base," the BJP leader said.

"Unlike the Congress' decades of mere sloganeering, the NDA government is actively investing in capacity building for critical technologies," Malviya said.
