Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Rajasthan’s Barmer on Tuesday where he will inaugurate the commencement of work of an oil refinery at Pachpadra, whose foundation stone was laid by former Congress president Sonia Gandhi four years ago. The Congress had slammed the state government last week for re-laying of the foundation stone, saying it had already been performed four years ago by Sonia Gandhi.
Termed as ‘shilanyas karyakram’ earlier, former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot had criticised the present chief minister Vasundhara Raje for changing the function’s name.
