Shah says BrahMos production in Uttar Pradesh strengthens India’s position

Union minister Amit Shah has praised BrahMos production in Uttar Pradesh and said it was giving Pakistan cause for concern, according to The Hindu. Shah also defended India’s economic performance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He rejected critics’ claims about the state of the economy and asserted that India had maintained, and strengthened, its economic growth despite global upheavals.

The supplied material does not include the occasion or location at which Shah made the remarks. It also does not provide figures for economic growth, details about BrahMos production in Uttar Pradesh or a response from Pakistan. His comments combined a reference to defence manufacturing with an assessment of the economy.

The statement about BrahMos was presented as part of his praise for production in the Indian state, while the economic argument focused on the government’s record under Modi’s leadership. The available report does not identify the critics Shah was responding to or set out the international developments he cited. It contains no independent assessment of his claims, but records his assertion that India’s growth had remained resilient and had been strengthened during a period of global disruption.
