Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said those opposing the bullet train project should travel on bullock carts. Modi made the comment while lashing out at the Congress for its criticism of the Rs1.1 lakh crore project – which he said was "a negligible price" – connecting Ahmedabad and Mumbai and to be built by Japan. He said the Congress government too wanted the project but failed to get it and so was now opposing it. "Those opposing the bullet train project should travel on bullock carts. We won't mind," he told an election rally at the Amod Sugar factory near Bharuch on the banks of the Narmada.
