PM Modi's Diwali wish, 'Support Indian talent'


New Delhi, Nov 9 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday reiterated his call to support local businesses this festive season, backing Union Minister Smriti Irani's tweet on the issue.

    The term "local business" needs to be defined first.

    People do not know what exactly is a "local business".

    Is it a business:
    * that employs 100% of its employees from the same locality?
    * that uses 100% of the raw materials/produce from the same locality?
    * that is something else?

    Does an Adani airport fall into this category?

    How much are you supporting these businesses before preaching others, sir???????......One by one MSME are closing for your apathy towards them. When they approach you, you chase them to take loan. But thier condition is so bad that they have nothing to pledge as collateral to avail loan.
