The Congress on Thursday attacked the Modi government, claiming that China still has power over India’s strategic industries, citing a report. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the government at the centre has allowed China to “capture” India’s most critical industries and open more opportunities for Chinese to “flourish”.
Kharge, based on a report, claimed that China still has power over India’s strategic industries to target the government.
Modi Govt Handover Over Clean Chit To China, Alleges Kharge
The Congress chief claimed that the Prime Minister handed a clean chit to China after 20 brave soldiers made the supreme sacrifice during the Galwan clash, six years ago.
Kharge, in a post on X, alleged, “Our bravehearts chose martyrdom, but the Modi Govt has surrendered India’s interests to China.”
The Congress said that dependence on China runs through the most critical sectors of India’s economy, which are supposed to define the country’s future.
Kharge Alleges Exports From China To India Surge Since Galwan Clash
He said that exports from China since the Galwan clash have “exploded” by 101.81 per cent in 2025-26, pushing India’s trade deficit with the neighbouring country to USD 112.1 billion.
Citing and claiming more data, “China supplied a jaw-dropping 86 per cent of India’s antibiotic imports. Why? China cornered nearly 74 per cent of India’s API, bulk drug, and drug intermediate imports in 2024-25.”
Kharge further claimed that 66 per cent of India’s EV component imports still flow from China.
Nearly 75 per cent of lithium-ion batteries powering Indian EVs are imported, and the overwhelming bulk of them are Chinese, he said, adding that India imported nearly 93 per cent of permanent magnets from China in 2025-26.
“For all the hollow talks by the Modi government on solar energy, it is appalling that China supplied more than 99 per cent of India’s undiffused silicon wafer imports in 2025-26, a near-total capture of a sector Modi ji’s claims to champion under Atmanirbhar Bharat. These undiffused silicon wafers are the foundation of our solar cells,” the Congress chief said.
“Now, the Modi government has even rolled out the red carpet for his ‘Jhoola Friend’, relaxing restrictions to let four Chinese companies bid for India’s own government power projects. Civil society assertions and reports tell that China continues to encroach on Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh,” Kharge said.
Its role in Pakistan’s actions during Operation Sindoor was acknowledged by none less than the Deputy Chief of Army Staff and stands officially documented, he said.
