Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday thanked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for acknowledging the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ programme through the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha’s recent social media post about jobs in Karnataka.
Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s recent social media post, Vaishnaw said, “Thanks @RahulGandhi for acknowledging the success of PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s ‘Make in India’ programme. As you have noted, we are becoming a producer economy as we implement our PM’s vision.”

Earlier in his Facebook post, two days ago, the Congress leader shared a news report related to the new Foxconn iPhone manufacturing unit in Karnataka, saying that “30,000 staff hired in just eight–nine months – the fastest factory ramp-up seen in India so far.”
“This is not just a statistic. It is transformative job creation,” Rahul Gandhi further said in his post.
“What makes it even more powerful is that the unit is largely women-led, with around 80 per cent women, most aged 19–24, and for many, this is their first job,” the Congress leader said.
“Karnataka is setting an example by creating an ecosystem where manufacturing can grow at this scale and speed. This is the India we must build: jobs with dignity, and opportunities for all,” the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha further wrote.
