Spokesperson Anand Sharma said on Thursday, “This staged event conveys lack of political honesty in correctly informing the nation that these steps were taken by the (Congress-led) UPA government...there is nothing new in it. The Congress stand is that it was the UPA government’s cabinet in October 2011 which had approved a National Manufacturing Policy. That apart, Sharma stated there were already portals of ‘Invest India’, which cover every continent and they'd signed various agreements in this regard.
