'From Moon to bullet train...': BJP MP says Modi has taken development to a new height | Watch

Union minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Giriraj Singh heaped praises on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a press statement on Sunday in Begusarai, Bihar.

Giriraj Singh said that "From Moon to bullet train, PM Modi has taken the development to a new height", and added, "Modi not just focused on building a new Parliament but also 50,000 Gram Panchayat".

Further, Singh slammed AIMIM Supremo Asaduddin Owaisi over his speech at the Ram Temple in Lok Sabha on Saturday. Singh said, "This person (Owaisi) has harbored so much of hatred in his heart...Wish such people had gone to Pakistan in 1947...Today, the people of Pakistan are also lauding PM Narendra Modi's regime and his vision on India's development but Owaisi wants Pakistan in India".
