The Industry Minister also talked about Rahul Gandhi and said that why is Rahul Gandhi getting so angry. He further said that it is difficult to understand the ‘childish intelligence’ of the opposition.

Piyush Goyal: This Government Has Never Discriminated
At the event, Piyush Goyal revealed there will be a “greater thrust” of new reforms along with promising policy continuity. He revealed that they will soon be introducing BSIS standards so that 140 crore Indians get good quality footwear.
When asked how the changes in the policy continuity will take place since the opposition wants to boycott him in the parliament and boycott NITI Aayog meets, Piyush Goyal asserted, “I think, it will be a few people who may boycott a meeting like this. The people at large want good things to happen. Let me also assure you, except for one or two states, most other states despite being ruled by opposition are willing to implement the schemes implemented by the central government.”
Mr Goyal added, “This government has never discriminated and has always worked with every state with equal consideration. Most of our projects go through bidding or a challenge route and everyone has the right to participate and the best state and the best man wins. I can assure you going forward also PM Modi looks after 140 crore Indians irrespective of the state they may reside in. He believes until the entire nation develops it won’t be able to become a developed nation.”

Piyush Goyal Reacts To Opposition Claiming Ideas Were Copied For Budget
Piyush Goyal reacted to the opposition remarks on ideas being lifted for Union Budget 2024 asking, “Why is Rahul Gandhi getting furious about it?” He continued, “They realised the ideas they had were centered on drones. Our focus is on skill development. There is a big difference between the two.”
Mr Goyal said, “Balakbuddhi ko samajhna bada mushkil hai.” When asked how is that ideological different, Mr Goyal asserted, “PM Modi is trying to empower the people of India. Empower the women of India. What the congress has traditionally done is weaken the large section of the society make them dependent on government in some sense to build up their vote bank.”
Mr Goyal also shared, “There was a time when every scheme of their government was divisive in nature. What PM Modi did was he saturated schemes so that anybody who needs or deserves it can benefit from the scheme.”
“It is more of an understanding that every Indian does not accept charity for his livelihood. He prefers to be empowered and wants good quality of life for his family on the strength of his work,” said Piyush Goyal.
