Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated India's first smart and green highway - the Eastern Peripheral Expressway in Uttar Pradesh's Bhagpat. During the launch, Modi said that infrastructure does not differentiate on the basis caste and religion.
"Infrastructure does not differentiate on the basis of caste, creed, religion and economic status. We have constructed 28,000 km of highway in the last four years. The BJP is racing towards the development," Modi said while addressing a rally in Bhagpat.
Earlier in the day, Modi launched the first phase of Delhi-Meerut Expressway and held a roadshow. The roadshow began from Nizamuddin Bridge and the PM travelled in an open jeep on Delhi-Meerut Expressway for six kilometers before flying to Bhagpat.
