Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday claimed that "non-cooperation" by the previous Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh was responsible for the delay in start of a beautification project in his Lok Sabha constituency.
He was addressing a gathering here after laying the foundation stone for the Kashi Vishwanath Temple's approach road and its beautification.
"In the first three years there was non-cooperation of the state government. The developmental projects here took pace after you (people of Uttar Pradesh) made Yogi Adityanath the chief minister," he said.
"Had there been cooperation earlier, we would have launched the project instead of laying the foundation," Modi added.
