Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday hit out at Rahul Gandhi, questioning why the Congress leader "hates India and everything made in India so much" following his remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifting the iconic Indian 'Melody' toffees to Italian PM Giorgia Meloni.
Taking to social media platform X, Goyal accused the Congress party of finding fault in every national achievement and being unable to tolerate the country's rising global stature. "Why does Rahul Gandhi hate India and everything made in India so much? India has today become the world's Trusted Destination through Made in India, and Local Goes Global, but the Congress sees a problem in every Indian achievement," the Union Minister wrote. Goyal further stated that the global respect and investment India is currently receiving under PM Modi's leadership is something the Leader of Opposition "cannot tolerate." "The global respect, investment, and trust that the country waited decades for, the same India is now earning under the leadership of Prime Minister @NarendraModi ji, and that is what Rahul Gandhi cannot tolerate," Goyal added. Goyal's tweet comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought the 'Melody moment' to life, gifting his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, a set of 'Melody' toffees.
