Vadodara : PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a dig at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, saying the aspirations and voice of India’s young generation would prevail over what he described as the ‘jhooth ki goonj’ (echo of lies). PM Modi said those who sought to mislead people could be found “at every crossroad”, but asserted that the youth of India was guided by truth and would determine the country’s future.
The three WDFC sections — New Sanand (N)-New Makarpura, New Umbergaon-New Saphale and New Saphale-New JNPT — cover 326 route kilometres and were developed at a cost of more than Rs 20,700 crore. They were among the development projects worth more than Rs 35,000 crore that PM Modi inaugurated, dedicated or laid the foundation stones for during his Gujarat visit. “The Dedicated Freight Corridor stands as a testament to how the country’s work culture has transformed over the last 12 years,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi then turned to the youth, saying India needed to prepare its younger generation for an economy increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. “We want our young generation to be prepared for the age of AI,” he said, stressing that AI skills would not be restricted to the IT sector. Young people with expertise in different fields, he said, could use AI to develop solutions in healthcare, improve productivity in manufacturing or launch robotics startups.
PM Modi also highlighted the expansion of rooftop solar, saying 5.5 million families across the country had installed solar plants, including 1.1 million families in Gujarat. “So many families here have become electricity producers; this has created employment opportunities for countless young people, spanning everything from production to installation and service—and has brought in numerous new vendors,” he said.
