While addressing the all-women's gathering, PM Modi emphasized that before 2014, only the 28-kilometer route of the Kolkata Metro was constructed. However, a 31-kilometer route was constructed during the last 10 years, he claimed while asserting that modernization of public transport is a priority of India's government.
PM Modi also took a jibe at the Congress-led INDIA bloc. Modi remarked that the INDIA bloc has begun to tremble to see the NDA forming a government at the center. He further responded to Congress' 'Modi doesn't have a family' jibe, saying that the gathering present at the rally is his family.
