China is inside Indian territory since 'Make in India' failed: Rahul Gandhi targets Centre in Lok Sabha

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA government at the Centre and blamed the failure of the Make in India initiative as the cause behind the presence of Chinese troops on Indian soil.

In his Motion of Thanks on the President's speech in the Lok Sabham Gandhi was quoted as saying: "Our Chief of Army Staff has said that the Chinese are inside our territory. This is a fact. The reason China is inside our territory is important...The reason China is sitting inside this country is because 'Make in India' has failed."

"The reason China sitting inside this country is because India is refusing to produce and I'm worried that India is going to give up this revolution to the Chinese once again," he said, launching a scathing attack on the Centre.

He said: "If and when we fight a war with China, we will be fighting with Chinese electric motors, Chinese batteries and Chinese optics and we will be buying Chinese motors, Chinese optics and Chinese batteries."

Speaking on further strengthening strategic ties with the USA, Gandhi said: "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."

He said: "India is as important as the United States for the simple reason that they cannot build an industrial system without us."

He claimed the BJP had vowed to change the Constitution if it wins over 400 seats in the Lok Sabha polls last year.

"I remember the BJP made the poll cry of '400 paar' and that they'll change the Constitution. But after the elections, I was glad to see that the PM was humbled and was forced to bow his head before the Constitution. It was a moment of pride for the Congress party as we were able to explain to the BJP and the nation that no force can touch the Constitution," he said.
