'Innovation, not cronyism': Rahul showers praises on Indian auto companies
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|October 04, 2025
CONGRESS leader Rahul Gandhi, during his visit to Colombia, praised the global success of Indian two-wheeler companies while criticising "crony capitalism" and what he called a "wholesale attack on democracy" in India.
On social media platform X, Gandhi shared a photo of himself in front of a Bajaj Pulsar and wrote, "Proud to see Bajaj, Hero & TVS doing so well in Colombia. Shows Indian companies can win with innovation, not cronyism. Great job." The post was a thinly veiled critique of political patronage benefitting a few corporations in India.

Peanuts, Priorities, and the Flow of Time
Not long ago, I had a conversation with a CEO who, somewhere between checking his phone and adjusting his tie, declared: “I just don’t have time to pursue what I really want.” It was a very solemn moment. Almost moving. Had it not been for the fact that, during our 20-minute chat, he checked his phone 17 times.
