On July 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Punjab to flag
On July 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Punjab to flag off railway projects, including the inauguration of the redeveloped Jalandhar Cantonment Railway Station and laying the foundation for the 'Shri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj' Express train service. This is his first trip to Punjab since the BJP decided to contest elections alone there. The station redevelopment aims to enhance passenger amenities and transform stations into transport hubs, while the new train honors a revered saint significant in Punjab's cultural history. With Assembly elections approaching, this visit is seen as an opportunity for the BJP to project itself as development-focused.
