The Statue of Equality has created a dispute among Congress and the ruling BJP. Rahul Gandhi said the statue was built in China and criticized India's concept of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'. Union Minister of Tourism and Culture G Kishan Reddy said Gandhi's comments were "shallow." Reddy also clarified that the project was planned before India launched the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiative.
