"If Nehru had chosen to build temples and statues instead of institutions like BHEL and SAIL, then the country would not have progressed. The country would languish in the 15th century if temples and mosques are given preferences over science, technology and research," Kejriwal said. PTI
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also alleged that "obstacles" were raised by the Modi government so that the Signature bridge would not be completed in the tenure of the AAP government in Delhi. PTI
