Today marks India's entry into the global semiconductor supply chain as a manufacturing nation. This is just the beginning.

Gehlot calls PM Modi's remarks 'symbol of political desperation'
It's very unfortunate that the Prime Minister of India should not use this kind of language and terminology. The Indian National Congress has a very proud history, and the ideology to which the Prime Minister belongs has nothing to do with India's freedom movement. It was the Indian National Congress that brought this country independence. The Prime Minister's use of such language, which speaks of division, does not suit them,
Today in Ajmer, the comments made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the Congress party are a symbol of his political desperation. For those belonging to an ideology that did not sacrifice even a fingernail in the freedom struggle to level allegations of dividing the country against the Congress, a party with a glorious history of leading the freedom struggle, is not only ridiculous but also proof of moral bankruptcy."
It would have been better if you had stood by your guarantee given during the Assembly elections not to shut down the Congress government's schemes, and directed the Chief Minister today to restart those closed schemes. This is because your hollow slogan of 'Double Engine' is now proving to be 'Double Zero' in Rajasthan,
Modi ji, remember that opposing you is not the same as opposing the country. Do not make the mistake of considering yourself greater than the nation,
Maoists hate India's prosperity, Constitution, and democracy. Similarly, Congress waits for an opportunity to defame the country and infiltrates every space to do so. The country will never forgive such misdeeds,

This morning, in a powerful surprise strike, the compound of the tyrant Ali Khamenei was destroyed in the heart of Tehran... and there are many signs that this tyrant is no longer alive,
This morning we eliminated senior figures in the ayatollahs' regime -- commanders in the Revolutionary Guards and senior officials in the nuclear programme -- and we will continue,
We will make the Zionist criminals and the shameless Americans regret their actions. The brave soldiers and the great nation of Iran will deliver an unforgettable lesson to the hellish international oppressors.”

PM Modi only wants to curse the Congress. He's been cursing for the past twelve years. As long as he's in power, he'll curse and won't work. The people of India were insulted by Galgotias. The people of India are insulted when you go to Israel and say Israel is the fatherland, India is the motherland. Then the people of India are insulted. You roam around insulting India all day and point fingers at us."
