PUNE: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said his Government is concentrating on transport and infrastructure development, areas which he claimed, did not get adequate attention during previous administrations.
He said the metro rail project got a boost during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government (1998-2004) and had it been in power for some more time, the rapid mass transport scenario would have changed for better in the country’s cities.
Speaking after laying the foundation stone of the phase 3 of Pune Metro, Modi said his Government’s thinking is different than that of opposition parties.
“Unki soch, unko mubarak (let them be happy with their thinking). Our Government’s aim is to strive for balanced development which reaches the last person in the society,” said the Prime Minister.
“Previous Governments did not pay attention to transportation and infrastructure development the way they should have done,” said Modi, who was in Maharashtra on a day- long visit to lay the foundation stone for a slew of projects. (AGENCIES)
