Gandhi emphasized the need for improving manufacturing and skilling systems in India.

TDP leader and Union Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu has hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks made during his US visit. Gandhi noted that skilled workers are being marginalized in India, a statement which Naidu described as an attempt to demean the nation globally.

Naidu highlighted that the Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has created numerous employment opportunities in the last decade. He stressed the importance of continuous skilling to link individuals with these opportunities.

During his US tour, Gandhi reiterated the need to focus on manufacturing and improving vocational training links between education and business systems in India. He suggested that this approach could help India compete with China's dominance in global production.
