Anything made in India, including by MNCs, is local for us: BJP

For the BJP, anything
Noting for example that shampoo is manufactured by many companies, including MNCs, in India, Rao told P T I: "When we say local, it is not just local products made by domestic companies. Anything that is manufactured in India for us is local."
"It is not just in times of crisis (that we become self-reliant) it has to become life's mantra," he said. "We have the capability and capacity, we should really strive to make everything of great quality. That will also afford us opportunity to export. It is not just local opportunity. This will also help us to go global."

"We have to give up this impression that foreign is better."
On the Prime Minister's call for national self- reliance and stress on the need for us to become 'vocal about local', Rao said: "This is not an isolationist policy, we are not going towards protectionism. It is not inward looking."
