PM says Centre's projects changing Delhi's face, rues politics against them

It is the country's "misfortune" that many good things brought with good intentions get trapped in politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday, as he cited development work undertaken by his government to assert that it is changing the face of Delhi.

Speaking after inaugurating the main tunnel and five underpasses of the Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor here, Modi cited a number of initiatives, including Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways, more than doubling of metro tracks in Delhi-NCR and the Delhi-Meerut highway among other projects, as steps taken by his government to solve the region's problems.

"It is our country's misfortune that many good things brought with good intentions get trapped in political colours. Media also gets dragged into it
