Pachpadra/Jaipur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday blamed the previous Congress government in Rajasthan for the delay in the Pachpadra refinery project, but former chief minister Ashok Gehlot dismissed the remarks as "misleading" and claimed 85 per cent of the project was completed during the Congress rule.
After dedicating the country's first greenfield integrated refinery-cum-petrochemical complex to the nation in Rajasthan's Balotra area, Modi said an agreement for the project had been signed in 2017, but the work slowed considerably under the Congress government in Rajasthan between 2018 and 2023.
