In a highly anticipated address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to respond to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address in Lok Sabha, marking the fourth day of the Parliament’s Budget session. This comes in the wake of sharp criticism from Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, who on Monday, lambasted the NDA government for its alleged failure to bolster the manufacturing sector through its ‘Make In India’ initiative. Gandhi highlighted a decrease in manufacturing’s contribution to GDP from 15.3 percent in 2014 to 12.6 percent, marking the lowest point in six decades. He also advocated for a caste census, suggesting AI-driven data analysis could unlock numerous possibilities.
