BJP promotes ‘Make in India’ but buys from China: Rahul tweets chart to target Modi govt
Amid calls for boycotting Chinese products after India-China face-off in eastern Ladakh, Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at Modi govt’s Make in India project, claiming that imports from China have increased under the NDA regime.
New Delhi: Sharpening the attack on Modi government, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday tweeted another chart to target the Centre amid the stand-off with China.
Amid calls for boycotting Chinese products after India-China face-off in eastern Ladakh, Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at Modi govt’s Make in India project, claiming that imports from China have increased under the NDA regime.
“Facts don’t lie. BJP says: Make in India. BJP does: Buy from China,” Gandhi tweeted along with a graphic of the percentage of imports from China during the UPA rule and the NDA government.
Facts don’t lie.

Govt sends strong signal to China but Rahul taunts Centre
This also comes a day after the Centre banned 59 Chinese apps to send a strong signal to the neighbouring country amid the Galwan faceoff.
The graphic claims that imports from China were at 12-13 per cent when the Congress-led UPA government vacated office in 2014 but now stood at 17-18 per cent in 2020.
The Congress leader has been vehemently targeting the Centre on the India-China border situation after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in violent face-off with Chinese troops in Ladakh’s Galwan valley earlier this month.
