Amit Shah flags off India's first LNG train; claims ‘Modi transformed railways, Congress known for scams’

Union Minister Amit Shah asserted on Sunday (September 27, 2026) that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had transformed the Railways, and asked people to challenge the Congress — which he claimed "talks nonsense" — to a discussion based on facts and figures.

Speaking after flagging off the country's first LNG train from Sabarmati station in Gujarat, Mr. Shah said the Congress did nothing apart from scams during its tenure. In contrast "no one has been able to accuse Modi of corruption of even four annas in 12 years".

"I want to talk only about the Railways,” Mr. Shah said. “Dedicated freight corridor, rapid rail system, premium stations — all these have been started by Modiji. Further by inaugurating a train running on hydrogen, he has placed India among just 4 countries in the world," Shah said.
