Rahul Gandhi Touts ‘Made in MP’ Tag, CM Chouhan Asks What About ‘Made in Amethi’

Bhopal: Taking a jibe at Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s mention of ‘Made in MP’ brand, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has retorted saying Gandhi has failed to produce even ‘Made in Amethi’ mobile phone charger in last 70 years.

“Made in Madhya Pradesh mobile phone, Made in Chitrakoot mobile phone, BHEL mobile phone, no one knows Rahul ji is panning how many cell phone factories. He might be saying anything today but the fact is that he even failed to produce even a mobile phone charger with Made in Amethi tag in last 70 years,” Madhya Pradesh chief minister tweeted.

Chouhan’s attack comes days after Rahul Gandhi’s speeches in which he lashed out at BJP for excessively patronising 'Made in China' products. The congress chief at several places in Madhya Pradesh promised ‘Made in MP’ products ten years down the line after Congress comes to power.

During his address at Satna as part of his two-day trip to MP that concluded on Friday, Gandhi had even alleged that Sardar Patel statue is also coming up in Gujarat with a ‘Made in China’ tag.

Reacting to MP chief minister Chouhan’s statement, MPCC chief Kamal Nath accused him of destroying industrial investment.

“Those who destroyed industrial investment are now missing the mobile phone charger,” MPCC president retaliated on twitter. Nath asked CM Chouhan to talk about the development of his hometown Budni “If you want to see development, come to Chhindwara,” Nath said in the tweet.

Nath also tweeted pictures of various industrial units that have been established in Amethi, the traditional constituency of Gandhis, presently held by Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
