VARANASI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) of practicing nepotism and following a policy of appeasement, which he claimed had hindered Varanasi's development for years.
Speaking at an event where he inaugurated and laid the foundation for projects worth over Rs 6,700 crore, Modi highlighted the transformation of Varanasi under his leadership, contrasting it with the previous decade's neglect.
Addressing a large gathering at the Sigra Sports Complex, Modi said: "What was the mentality due to which Kashi was deprived of development? Remember the situation 10 years ago, Varanasi had to yearn for development. The reason is nepotism and the politics of appeasement. Be it the Samajwadi Party or the Congress, the development of Varanasi was neither their priority nor will it be in the future."
