NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Rajpath which symbolised India's “slavery” had been consigned to history as he inaugurated the revamped Central Vista stretch with a new name, Kartavya Path, and unveiled a statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at India Gate.
Taking a swipe at the previous Congress governments, he said had India followed the path shown by Netaji, then the country would have reached new heights but the iconic leader was sadly forgotten and his symbols and ideas were ignored. Modi added that imprints of Netaji’s ideals and dreams are visible in the BJP government's works.
