should learn from india
He said that I believe that we should learn from our many partners i.e. India. They are mostly focusing on the production and use of cars and ships produced in India. In this regard, Prime Minister Modi is doing the right thing by encouraging people to use Made in India. We also have those vehicles available and we should use them.
Focus on use of domestically manufactured cars
