PM Narendra Modi slams Congress in Sonia's stronghold Raebareli
Taking on the Congress in Sonia Gandhi's home turf, Raebareli, PM Narendra Modi accused previous governments of neglecting the constituency. Modi laid the foundation stone of some projects and inaugurated few others worth Rs. 1,100 crore during his first visit to Sonia Gandhi's Lok Sabha constituency. He also flagged off the 900th coach and Humsafar rake made by Modern Coach Factory in Raebareli, UP.
Factory's neglect, an example of injustice by previous government: Modi
"The Center is committed to the development of Raebareli. Earlier governments neglected it," Modi said, without naming any party, in his first public meeting after facing loss in Assembly polls. Modi, who inspected Coach Factory, said its neglect was "an example of injustice to the country's means, resources by previous governments". The factory was sanctioned in 2007 but failed to take off, he added.
