Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that improved law and order in Uttar Pradesh, along with rapid infrastructure development under the BJP’s “double-engine government,” has transformed connectivity and public confidence in the state, as he inaugurated the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail and the Meerut Metro services from the same platform at Shatabdi Nagar Namo Bharat Station.
Addressing a gathering after the launch, the Prime Minister said that areas which were once deserted after sunset are now being linked by modern, safe and efficient transport systems.
He also recalled his interaction with students and other passengers during a ride on the Meerut Metro earlier in the day.
