‘I started my life on railway tracks’, says PM Modi in Ahmedabad; lays foundation stone of ₹85,000 crore railway projects

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 12 said his government undertakes developmental works as a part of its mission to build the nation and not to win elections as perceived by some people.

The PM launched ₹1,06,000 crore development projects for the country at an event in Sabarmati area of Gujarat’s Ahmedabad city after visiting the Dedicated Freight Corridor’s (DFC) Operation Control Centre near the venue, ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

These comprise ₹85,000 crore railway projects, including the launch of 10 new Vande Bharat trains, and a petrochemicals complex coming up at Dahej in Gujarat’s Bharuch district with an investment of ₹20,600 crore.
