What did PM Modi say on the free scheme?
PM Modi fired another satire on the Delhi government. He said that today people’s time, money, fuel will be saved from this tunnel. For example, he said that if the government gives two rupees to someone, it is discussed a lot, headlines are made.

Free electricity is being provided up to 200 units in Delhi.
