Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi on Nov. 2 claimed that the first designs for submarines and drones were conceived and created by IIT Delhi.
Speaking at a legal and policy forum titled “Diaspora at the Crossroads: Law, Policy, and Opportunities” in Bethesda, a Maryland suburb of the American capital, Lekhi claimed that the designs were originally conceived by students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi but were never built in India due to a lack of funding.
