Aligarh, Sep 14 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that BrahMos Missiles will be manufactured in Uttar Pradesh, as he pushed for making India a defence exporter.
While addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh, where he laid the foundation stone for a new university, the Prime Minister talked about the defence corridor, and other development projects, lauding the Yogi Adityanath government and accused other parties who have been in government previously of corruption and criminalisation.
"Whether it's a rifle, fighter jets, drone, or warships, there's a mission going on to push Make In India. India is stepping away from the image of being the largest defence importer, and is moving ahead with the pledge to become defence exporters. UP is going to be a major center for it. I am proud to be an MP of UP," the Prime Minister said.
