NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said while Congress was busy “digging” his “grave”, he was pre-occupied with easing the lives of the poor.
Addressing a function at Mandya in Karnataka today after inaugurating the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway, Modi said, “Congress is busy digging my grave, while I am busy with Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, improving lives of poor.”
The expressway is a 118-km long project that has been developed at a total cost of around Rs. 8480 crore. It is slated to reduce travel time between Bengaluru and Mysuru from three hours to about 75 minutes. It will act as a catalyst for socio-economic development in the region, Modi said.
