“Those who ruled the country for long were always thinking about filling their own coffers. They were only thinking about how their family members could progress. They didn’t think about the development of the country or about pushing for the country’s infrastructure or the progress of the country,” he said after inaugurating the Mumbai Trans Harbour Sealink (MTHL) that links Navi Mumbai to Mumbai.
Modi lauded the contribution of the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for the MTHL Project. “I am thankful to the Japanese government for their help in completing this project. I am remembering my friend Shinzo Abe…we both wanted this bridge to be completed as soon as possible.” While Modi did not name the Congress, he kept drawing parallels between his government’s ten-year tenure to that of the erstwhile (Congress) governments.
