Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Sushil Kumar Modi Saturday said that the bullet train project connecting the cities of Mumbai and Ahmedabad will be completed by August 2026 as the change in governance in Maharashtra has “removed the obstacles” in land acquisition.
Modi, who was in Ahmedabad to “convey the important aspects” of the Union Budget presented on February 1, also said that the inflation rate in India had been on a steady decline as compared to the countries in the West.
Adding that a major allocation of the budget has been made for the Railways, Modi said that “it is nine times of that allocated in the budget of 2013-14”.
