“Not make in India, make India first,” says Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had set up an initiative called ‘Make in India’ movement, to encourage the multinational companies and domestic companies to manufacture the products in India. It was launched on 25th September, 2014. Since then, Modi had been trying his best to promote the initiative.

Now, Delhi Chief Minsiter Arvind Kejriwal made controversial comments on ‘Make in India’initiative, saying that, the ‘Make in India’ can be successful only after ‘Making India.’

Adding further, Kejriwal said, “The pro-people policies, similar to those, initiated by the AAP government, should be considered to ‘Make India’. Investing in health, education, infrastructure, water, justice and safety, should always be given high importance.”

#MakeIndiaFirst - Hashtag to counter Make in India

“Make India first, later the world will automatically follow ‘Make in India’,” Kejriwal tweeted. Currently, a hashtag called #MakeIndiaFirst is trending the social networking sites, regarding Kejriwal comments.   

Kejriwal even referred to the electricity tariff, which was not hiked in the last week, by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC).   

Kejriwal had further taken out the initiative, the AAP volunteers are taking in curbing the dengue and applauded them. Regarding this, Kejriwal government has procured 40 fumigating machines, which will be pressed into service across different constituencies of Delhi.  

Make in India -  #ISupportDigitalIndia trending

Meanwhile, Narendra Modi is popularizing his Make in India movement and regarding this, as of now, a hash tag called #ISupportDigitalIndia is trending on the social networking sites.
