Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday expressed the state’s gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allocating a Vande Bharat train for the state and dedicating several development projects to the nation.
This is for the first time that the CM, who has been aggressively campaigning for the proposed SilverLine semi-high speed rail corridor project, is making any remark regarding the southern state’s reception of the Vande Bharat.
Vijayan, during his brief speech, said he was placing Kerala’s “gratitude to you for allocating a Vande Bharat train” and expressed hope that more would follow.
