Union Minister Nitin Gadkari asked German premium car maker Mercedes-Benz to produce more cars locally and emphasised that such a move reduces the cost besides increasing affordability. Speaking at the rollout of Mercedes-Benz India's first locally assembled EQS 580 4MATIC EV from its Chakan manufacturing facility in Pune, Gadkari, who is the Minister for Road Transport and highways, said that there is a huge market for electric vehicles in the country. "You increase the production, only then it is possible to reduce cost. We are middle-class people, even I can't afford your car," the minister said.

How ironic that he's indirectly saying India's poor and complaining Benz instead of himself as a politician who are the real cause for the people to be poor.

Modi is a very cunning and a biased person. He is the Prime Minister of India, but his pro Gujarat stance is clearly visible and is totally unacceptable. Modi is discriminating against many other states and diverting projects meant to come up in those states to his home state of Gujarat for quite sometime. actions which are absolutely disgraceful and disgusting. People of all highly industrialized states (Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Karnataka etc) other than Gujarat and all the mineral rich states (Orissa, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh) must be aware and careful of all these. I am giving few examples below. Over last few years Modi and Railway Minister Ashwani Vaishnav are diverting all railway manufacturing projects to Gujarat. Indian Railway's locomotive manufacturing plant which was supposed to come up in Telengana, Alsthom and Bombardier Coach and Metro Railway Rake Manufacturing plant have come up in Gujarat. Raw materials like steel, aluminium, copper, are being taken from Orissa, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and used for manufacturing in those railway plants. These plants could have been set up in those Mineral Rich states. It is pathetic to note that Vaishnav the Railway and Information Technology Minister who is elected to the Rajya Sabha from Orissa is working against the interest of Orissa. So far Vaishnav has not brought a single big ticket investment to Orissa either in terms of Information Technology or Railway Projects. Now these two have hijacked the phenomenally big Foxconn Vedanta project which was supposed to come up in Talegaon in Maharashtra and diverted the same to Gujarat. Anil Agarwal was forced to take that decision by Modi and Vaishnav. Also when General Motors stopped manufacturing in India Modi and Gujarat Government cleverly invited Chinese Automobile Manufacturing Company MG Motors to take over the Boroda Plant. However when General Motors stopped manufacturing in the Talegaon Plant near Pune a Chinese Automobile Manufacturing Company Great Wall Motors showed keen interest to take over the plant. However Modi and team prevented the Maharashtra Government in handing over this plant to the Chinese Company on the pretext of Galwan Skirmish and border dispute with China. The Talegaon Plant is still shut down and thousands of employees of the Company, ancillary units, suppliers, service providers and transporters are jobless. Recently Ford Motor Company has closed down both the Chennai Plant and Sanand Plant. Modi very cleverly persuaded Tata Motors to take over the Ford Sanand plant in Gujarat. The Ford Chennai Plant continues to be shut down. Modi is hell bent on destroying the industrial activities and industrial environment in highly industrialized and manufacturing intensive states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka. I hope that good citizens of Moharashtra Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telengana and other states would understand the implications of such policies of Modi favouring his home state of Gujarat. He is not working like the Prime Minister of India but like the defacto Chief Ministers of Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh to some extent. Modi at any given opportunity is talking against China but does not practice what he preaches Make in India. India is increasing its imports from China year on year In the financial year 2021-2022 imports from China is the highest ever and Trade deficit of India has risen. Now India has started importing Wheels of Vande Bharat coaches from China for which orders were earlier given to Ukraine. Against heavy criticism Vaishnav has invited bid technical and commercial from the Indian Steel plants for manufacturing wheels. People of all these states must respond to such discrimination appropriately, in the 2024 Parliamentary elections
