Previous governments focused only on making project announcements, but did not work for their completion, Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said today.
He was addressing reporters here through video conferencing on the achievements of his ministry in the past four years.
"The railways has invested four times in the last four years than the previous government in Rajasthan. Previous ministers announced a number of schemes, but did not invest money to complete the project," he said.

Goyal said that the government's focus was to expedite the work on incomplete projects and on the announcements made in the past.
He added that the railways was ready to commission new lines if that benefits the people of the country.
