“Even Ganpati idols are imported”: PM Modi urges Indians to promote local goods

    “Even Ganpati idols are imported”: PM Modi urges Indians to promote local goods

    While addressing in a rally in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi urged Indians to promote local goods under the ‘Make in India’ initiative. "On the night of May 6, Operation Sindoor began with the strength of our armed forces. But now, this Operation Sindoor will move forward with the strength of the people. When I speak of the strength of our armed forces and the people's strength, I mean that every citizen should become a partner in the nation's development. If we all contribute to building a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047 and taking our economy from the fourth to the third position globally, we will not rely on foreign products. We must encourage village traders to pledge that no matter how much profit they make, they will not sell foreign goods. But unfortunately, even Ganpati idols come from abroad… small-eyed Ganpati idols whose eyes don't even open properly. For Operation Sindoor, as a citizen, I have a task for you: go home and make a list of how many foreign products you use in 24 hours," he said at the rally.
