Made in India is not possible because you have destroyed MSMEs, says Rahul Gandhi
There was not a single word on unemployment in the Presidential Address. The youth across the country is looking for jobs. Your govt is unable to provide them with one
You speak of providing employment, 3 cr youth lost their jobs in 2021. Today India is facing the highest unemployment in 50 yrs. You talk of Made in India, Start-Up India, but youth did not get the unemployment they were supposed to. The one they had has disappeared
You talk of Made in India. But there cannot be Made in India today. The matter has ended because who are the people involved in Made in India? Small and medium industry, unorganised sector - whom you have finished. Made in India is not going to take place: Rahul Gandhi in LS

You have destroyed MSMEs, and monopolised the formal sector, says Rahul Gandhi
I think there were 3 fundamental things that were not spoken about in the Presidential Address. First, and what I consider to be the most important, is the idea that there are now two Indias. There is now no longer one India
There are two Indias, one India is for the extremely rich people - for those who have immense wealth, immense power, for those who don't need a job, those who don't need water connection,electricity connections, but for those who control the heartbeat of the country: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha

Union Budget did not touch central challenges facing our country, says Rahul Gandhi
Unfortunately, the Presidental Address was a long list of things that the Govt claims to have done but didn't really contain the deeper strategic issues that we would have liked to see. It didn't touch a couple of central challenges facing our country.
To me, it seemed that Presidential Address was a list of bureaucratic ideas instead of a strategic vision. It looked to me as if it has been constructed not by a vision of leadership but by a group of bureaucrats who had to simply put something down on paper: Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha
