Instead of ‘Make in India’, Modi Govt has put ‘Break in India’ in Manufacturing! 1️⃣ 72% of PLI’s employment generation target remains unmet. 2️⃣ In 6 years, nearly 82% of the promised PLI incentives remain undisbursed. 3️⃣ Five key PLI schemes where substantial portions of the sanctioned outlay remain undisbursed (as of March 2026) 🔻Textiles: 96.39% of the ₹10,683 crore PLI outlay remains undisbursed, with only 3.61% released. 🔻Renewable Energy (Solar PV Modules): Not a single rupee of the ₹24,000 crore PLI outlay has been disbursed — 100% remains unreleased. 🔻White Goods (ACs and LEDs): 90.71% of the ₹6,238 crore outlay remains undisbursed. 🔻IT Hardware: A staggering 99.43% of the PLI outlay remains undisbursed, with just 0.57% released. 🔻Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Batteries: 100% of the ₹18,100 crore outlay remains undisbursed, with no PLI incentive payments reported. Additional significant examples: Bulk Drugs — 98.73% undisbursed; Specialty Steel — 96.27%; Medical Devices — 92.21%; Automobiles and Auto Components — 90.80%. (Source: NITI Aayog–IIM Ahmedabad, Impact Assessment of PLI Schemes, released 12 November 2026; data through 31 March 2026) 4️⃣ Average annual manufacturing IIP growth under the UPA was 7.43%. Under the Modi Government, it fell to just 3.15% (till FY24)—less than half! 5️⃣ In its 2014 manifesto, the BJP promised to transform India into a “Global Manufacturing Hub”, pledging millions of jobs, stronger MSMEs, easier clearances and an end to red tape. 12 years later, manufacturing accounts for barely 14% of India’s GVA. The promised employment boom remains elusive. Where are the factories? Where are the jobs? Where is the promised manufacturing revolution?

Deeply anguished by the tragic loss of two brave Special Police Officers in Kishtwar, coming just a day after the terror attack on CRPF personnel in Kulgam. I salute the courage, valour and supreme sacrifice of our bravehearts. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured jawans. India stands united and resolute against terrorism. No act of terror can weaken our collective resolve to defend our nation, protect our people and uphold peace.

Why are we becoming a ‘Vishwaguru’ in air pollution? Piecemeal measures, PR stunts, broken promises and blame games have become the hallmark of the BJP! Last year, water tankers were spraying around AQI monitoring stations amid allegations of ‘washing away’ the pollution figures; this year, as pollution peaked, PM2.5 readings simply vanished from 36 of Delhi’s 59 monitoring stations! In the last 12 years PM @narendramodi has only done lip-service to the issue of Air Pollution. On 8 May 2019, PM Modi had identified it as a "major challenge", but his Govt has done nothing on that front! From Delhi-NCR to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan, people are gasping for clean air. Will Modi ji dare to give the nation Hawa Ka Hisaab? The facts are as alarming as they are shameful: • 17,188 deaths in Delhi were estimated to be attributable to particulate air pollution in 2023 -nearly 15% of all deaths (GBD/CREA; all ages). • 1,69,400 children under five died from air-pollution-related causes across India in 2021 (State of Global Air 2024). Research also links PM2.5 exposure with impaired lung development and elevated child mortality risks, particularly across northern states. • ₹1,154 crore - nearly 60% of Delhi’s environmental compensation collections - remained unspent, according to a September 2026 RTI response. Delhi utilised merely 17% of its National Clean Air Programme funds released through December 2025. • The Supreme Court has given BJP-ruled Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan two weeks to submit detailed responses and proposed measures to tackle the pollution crisis. Year after year, particularly from October to February, the same toxic haze returns, accompanied by the same assurances and the same finger-pointing. Spend the funds. Cut emissions. Enforce the rules. Clean air is a fundamental right, not a privilege to be granted by the Government.

An insightful interview of CPP Chairperson Smt. @SoniaGandhi Ji with @the_hindu , reflecting on her personal and political journey, decades in public life and the choices that shaped her leadership. Her forthcoming memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, offers a deeply personal account of her life and enduring relationship with India. Her consistent and strident observations on the BJP-RSS, the erosion of democratic institutions under the present regime echo the sentiment of the common people on ground. thehindu.com/news/national/s…
