    NEW DELHI: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning the success of the ‘Make in India’ initiative and accused him of focusing on catchy slogans rather than delivering real solutions to India’s economic challenges.In a post on X, Gandhi said, “’Make in India’ promised a factory boom. So why is manufacturing at record lows, youth unemployment at record highs, and why have imports from China more than doubled? Modi ji has mastered the art of slogans, not solutions. Since 2014, manufacturing has fallen to 14% of our economy.”He highlighted that manufacturing has dropped to just 14% of the country’s economy since 2014, the year the initiative was launched. He also pointed to a sharp rise in imports from China, accusing the Union government of ignoring local industry in favour of catchy slogans.LoP in Lok Sabha Gandhi also shared a video of his interaction with two young men, Shivam and Saif, in Nehru Place, New Delhi. He said the duo are skilled and full of potential but lack the opportunities to succeed in today’s economic environment.“The truth is stark: we assemble, we import, but we don’t build. China profits.” he said, criticising India’s dependence on imported goods and lack of robust manufacturing.He further alleged that the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, once heavily promoted by the government, is now being quietly rolled back. “With no new ideas, Modi ji has surrendered. Even the much-hyped PLI scheme is now being quietly rolled back. India needs a fundamental shift – one that empowers lakhs of producers through honest reforms and financial support,” Gandhi warned. “We must stop being a market for others. If we don’t build here, we’ll keep buying from those who do. The clock is ticking, ” he added.The Make in India initiative was launched by PM Modi in 2014 as part of a broader effort to drive nation-building and boost the manufacturing sector.
