Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday once again took a veiled jibe at Congress, calling it "Naraz Fufa" (angry uncle). PM Modi, while speaking at the NaMo for Viksit Bharat programme in Gujarat's Vadodara, slammed those who question his government's development record, once again calling them "Naraz Fufa".

The prime minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for Rs 35,000 crore development projects in Vadodara. The projects include a 2,800-kilometre dedicated freight corridor, which PM Modi called a historic achievement for the 21st century. He inaugurated three key sections of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor, connecting Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Navi Mumbai with Dadri in Uttar Pradesh, marking completion of the project. Dedicated freight corridors are the lifeline of a fast-developing India, he added.

Without naming Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, he took a swipe at him, saying one Naraz Fufa ji will say: What will the truck drivers do?

After 2014, India built 50,000 modern rail coaches but the previous (Congress) regime could not build even 50,000 toilets in 10 years, PM Modi said.

Earlier, passenger and goods trains had to run on the same tracks, slowing down both passenger travel and freight movement but the Dedicated Freight Corridor has changed this, he said.

"After 2014, with your blessings, when I reached Delhi, and as soon as we arrived there, we began accelerating this project. Work on the 2,800 km dedicated freight corridors has been completed today," he said.

'Jhooth Ki Goonj': PM Modi's Swipe At Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' Event

PM Modi slammed Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' initiative, saying youngsters would stand with the truth and not be misled by what he termed "Jhooth ki Goonj" (echo of lies). "At every nook and corner, you will find people who will try to mislead you through 'Jooth Ki Goonj', but today's youth will stand with the truth," the PM said.

Earlier on September 5, PM Modi, addressing the centenary celebrations of Delhi University's Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), used the term "Naraz Fufa" to mock critics who habitually oppose the government's development projects.
