Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday alleged opposition parties betrayed Ghazipur for decades and the file with recommendations of the Patel Committee, formed in the 1960s to address poverty in Uttar Pradesh`s Purvanchal region, was allowed to gather dust. At an election rally here, the prime minister asserted that Ghazipur tells the tales of valour and bravery, reported news agency PTI.
"Ghazipur and Gamhar village -- the names are enough as brave soldiers emerge from every house here. Has any place other than Ghazipur have this honour? The entire country is indebted to this land," he said. Hitting out at the opposition INDIA bloc, he said, "I am constantly reminded of an old topic and the topic is proof of how INDI people betrayed Ghazipur."
