Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi attacked former Congress President and MP Rahul Gandhi at Lokmat National Conclave. Lekhi said that the gold plate was snatched from his hand. There is fire everywhere in the country. Congress never considered North-East as a part of the country. Lost in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland and avenged it by giving speeches abroad. What did the former Congress president achieve from the Bharat Jodo Yatra? Will he win the hearts of the people by giving speeches in Cambridge and London? Both China and India deal with Iran. How many scams have taken place in the country till 2004-14. The people of the country are watching everything. Many countries of the world have come to know China. BJP MP from New Delhi Lekhi said that G-20 is a challenge for the government. Focus is on developed and developing countries. Many countries of the world are investing money in India. The government is focusing on Make in India. Swadeshi is my motto. Many works are being done in the Ministry of Defense on indigenous technology said, Lekhi.
