As PM Modi on Saturday flagged off the New Delhi-Bhopal Vande Bharat Express train, he said when he got to know that the date for the inauguration of the train was fixed on April 1, he was sure that ‘friends’ in Congress would call it PM Modi’s April Fool. “But as you can all see the train has started on April 1 only. This is the symbol of our expertise and confidence,” PM Modi said.
“The previous governments were so engrossed in appeasement of the vote bank that they never focussed on the ease of living of the people. They used to consider one family as the first family. What about the second and third family? They were left on their own. And the victim was the Indian Railways,” PM Modi said taking a dig at the Congress.
