By Economic Times - 2 months ago
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw criticized the Congress for neglecting the armed forces' needs, leading to import dependency, while praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push for self-reliance. Vaishnaw highlighted significant advancements in the defense sector under Modi, including building over 6,800 km of border roads, achieving self-sufficiency in bulletproof jackets, and exporting defence equipment to 80 countries. He emphasized reforms like appointing a Chief of Defence Staff and theaterisation of commands, asserting that 70% of the armed forces' requirements are now domestically produced. Vaishnaw contrasted Modi's actions with Congress's alleged focus on personal gains.
