New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said two-wheeler manufacturers Bajaj, Hero and TVS were doing well in Colombia and asserted that it shows Indian companies can win with innovation, not cronyism. Gandhi, who is in Colombia during his four-nation tour of South America, posted a picture on X standing in front of a Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle. "Proud to see Bajaj, Hero & TVS do so well in Colombia. Shows Indian companies can win with innovation, not cronyism.

Great job," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. Speaking at a seminar titled 'The Future is Today' at the EIA University in Medellin, Colombia, Gandhi had slammed the idea of three or four businesses taking over the whole economy. During the seminar on Wednesday, Gandhi said India has a much more complex system as compared to China and its strengths are very different from that of the neighbouring country.

India also has a very old spiritual tradition and a thought system with profound ideas that are useful in today's world, he had said, adding that there is a lot that the country can offer in terms of tradition and way of thinking. "I am very optimistic about India, but at the same time, there are fault lines within the Indian structure. There are risks that India has to overcome. The single-biggest risk is the attack on democracy that is taking place in India," the Leader of Opposition had said.
