Chandigarh, September 23, 2025: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today hailed the decisions of the Modi government to approve the construction of long-pending Rajpura–Mohali railway line, and starting of the Ferozepur-Delhi Vande Bharat train as historic which would usher a new era of development and connectivity in Punjab.
Chugh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again demonstrated his commitment to balanced regional development by sanctioning this project which will connect the Malwa belt directly with the tricity and the national capital.
Chugh said that the 24-kilometre new line, with an estimated cost of over Rs. 200 crore, will open new opportunities for trade, industry and employment in the region. Rajpura, being an industrial hub, will now have a direct link to the Tricity, giving a fresh boost to business and passenger convenience.
He added that the project, pending for years, was stuck due to political apathy, but under the decisive leadership of PM Modi, it has now been revived and listed in the Northern Railway’s new plan. This, Chugh said, proves how the BJP government is fulfilling commitments that were ignored by successive state governments.
Chugh expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister, saying this project is not just about rail tracks but about building a stronger future for Punjab’s youth, farmers and entrepreneurs. He called upon the state government to extend full cooperation in land acquisition and clearances so that the people of Punjab can reap its benefits without further delay.
