Ashwini Vaishnaw Thanks Rahul Gandhi for 'Acknowledging' Make-in-India Success After Foxconn Praise

  • Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw thanked Rahul Gandhi for acknowledging job creation at Foxconn in Karnataka.
  • Vaishnaw stated Gandhi's praise validates PM Modi's 'Make in India' program and India's shift to a producer economy.
  • Rahul Gandhi highlighted Foxconn's hiring of 30,000 staff in 8-9 months at its new iPhone assembly unit in Devanahalli, Bengaluru.
  • Gandhi noted the facility is largely women-led (80% women, aged 19-24), with many getting their first job.
  • He emphasized this as "transformative job creation" and an example for building an India with "jobs with dignity and opportunities for all."

Why It Matters: Vaishnaw credits Foxconn's job creation, praised by Gandhi, to PM Modi's 'Make in India' initiative.
