The PM was speaking after inaugurating the 351-km New Bhaupur-New Khurja section of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) and Operation Control Centre (OCC) at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh through videoconference. "Our past experiences tell us that the infrastructure projects related to the country's development should be kept out of politics. The country's infrastructure is not tied to any party's ideology. It is not for meant for five years, but a mission to benefit the people of the country." "If any political party has to do competition on the issue, it should be on the infrastructure's quality, speed and scale," he added.
