While I appreciate the emphasis on self-reliance, I hope the government also focuses on fair trade practices and supports our farmers and MSMEs more effectively. Happy birthday to the Minister though! 🎂
Seems like PM Modi and the cabinet are in full support of this minister. The focus on trade, manufacturing, and exports is crucial for India's growth. Wishing Piyush Goyal a productive year ahead!
Happy birthday, Piyush Goyal ji! Under your leadership, India's trade relations have strengthened globally. But let's also ensure that the benefits reach the common man - especially in terms of job creation and affordable goods. 🇮🇳
The way PM Modi and other leaders are praising him shows he's doing something right. Self-reliant India is a great vision - but we need more transparency in trade deals and less red tape for businesses. Wishing him well!
This is purely ceremonial. We need more concrete results than just birthday wishes. Trade deficit is still a concern, and many industries are struggling. Let's hope the minister addresses these issues in the coming year.
Happy Birthday to Piyush Goyal ji! His work on boosting manufacturing and exports is commendable.
