Rahul Gandhi Fires on PM Modi

New Delhi, June 17: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 2015 promise on Odisha State.

Coming to details, He lamented Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to keep his 2015 promise to upgrade a general hospital in Odisha's Rourkela to a super-specialty hospital-cum-medical college.

"The PM promised Rourkela a multi specialty hospital three years ago. Now, Muktikant Biswal has walked 1,300 km to Delhi because the PM hasn't kept his promise and people are dying," Gandhi tweeted, attaching a news report about the Odisha man.

Biswal, a 30-year-old from Rourkela, has walked 1,350 km so far to meet the Prime Minister and remind him about his 2015 promise. He was admitted to a hospital on the Agra National Highway after he fainted.

Addressing a public meeting at Rourkela Steel Plant in 2015, Modi announced that the existing Ispat General Hospital will be upgraded.
