Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on the warship INS Vikrant in India has criticized the Narendra Modi government of the BJP at the Center of India.
Tweeting a video of AK Antony, the then Defense Minister of India, Jairam Ramesh said that even before 2014, India was self-reliant.
He wrote, "The then Defense Minister AK Antony launched India's first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant on 12 August 2013, while the Prime Minister (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) did it today. Before 2014, a self-reliant India existed.''
AK Antony was the Defense Minister of India in UPA II. In the video, AK Antony is congratulating India for the landing of INS Vikrant and telling that India is the sixth country in the world to build it.
Jairam Ramesh's statement has come at a time when today India is adding its largest warship Vikrant to its fleet.
What is special about INS Vikrant?
It has 2300 compartments inside and you will forget that it is a ship as soon as you enter. The 262 meter long and 60 meter high ship did not feel any special effect of the strong waves of the sea.
Wide paths and stairs connect the ship, so it is not difficult to get from one place to another. Air conditioners do not allow outside humidity and heat to enter.
1700 people will work in the new Vikrant. However, 2000 more people are also working in it, who are responsible for fixing cables, polishing and interior work.
There is a huge medical facility at Vikrant. There is also a 16 bed hospital, two operation theatres, lab. ICU and CT scan. There are five doctors and 15 paramedics here.
30 fighter planes and helicopters can be placed on this ship.
