The Congress on Wednesday dubbed the Centre a “Galgotia Government” amid the controversy over the alleged use of a Chinese robotic dog, and reminded that many of India’s leading global tech executives were educated at premier institutes established and nurtured under governments led by the grand old party. He added that Novartis CEO Vasant Narasimhan completed all his education abroad. "India’s global standing rests on decades of institution-building and vision shaped under Congress governments – unlike the BJP’s 'GALA-GHONTIA' approach to education today, " Khera said. The issue erupted after Neha Singh, a professor of communications at the university, demonstrated the robotic dog Orion to DD News on Tuesday, saying, "It has been developed by the Centre of Excellence at Galgotias University." Social media users pointed out that the robot was a Unitree Go2, manufactured by China’s Unitree Robotics and commonly used in research and education worldwide.
