Rahul Gandhi's remarks came after Foreign Secretary noted that despite the growth in the volume of the trade between India and China, the trade deficit has increased and the imbalance has widened.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused the Centre of "doublespeak" over the reports of an increase in trade deficit with China and dubbed the "made in India'' slogan as "jumla" (rhetoric).
Citing a media report, Mr Gandhi tweeted, "The Usual Doublespeak. #MadeInIndia #Jumla."
Mr Gandhi's remarks came after Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla on Thursday noted that despite the growth in the volume of the trade between the two neighbours, the trade deficit has increased and the imbalance has widened.
Speaking at a seminar on "Leveraging China's Economy", Mr Shringla also raised concern about the trade imbalance that has continuously been widening despite growth in the overall volume of the trade.
