Ashwini Vaishnaw 'Thanks' Rahul Gandhi In Exchange Over iPhone-Makers Foxconn | Read
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi praised the Karnataka government this week for facilitating the 'fastest factory ramp-up seen in India so far', referring to iPhone-maker Foxconn hiring nearly 30,000 staff – 80 per cent of whom were women – for its facility near Bengaluru in nine months. But then Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw snuck in with a cheeky X post to claim credit for the federal government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' scheme. "30,000 staff hired in just eight–nine months - the fastest factory ramp-up seen in India so far…" Rahul Gandhi said on Facebook Monday, sharing a screenshot of an Economic Times report.
