In a video shared by Congress leader Alok Sharma, Rahul Gandhi recounted his visit to a BMW factory, saying, “We visited the BMW factory, and it was an excellent experience. I was particularly pleased to see the 450cc TVS bikes being manufactured here. I believe they will perform very well. It was also heartening to see the Indian flag flying proudly here.”
