Addressing a gathering after inaugurating a school in his parliamentary constituency, Rahul also accused the Centre and the Yogi Adityanath government of halting the state’s progress by taking away big projects.

“After 10-15 years, when people would mention Singapore and California, they will also mention Amethi in the same breath,” Rahul said.

He further said Amethi will become a world famous education hub soon and nobody can stop this from happening.
