Kartavya Path inauguration: During the inauguration of the Kartavya Path, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is the first Prime Minister of Akhand Bharat. The Prime Minister added that if India had followed the path shown by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, then it would have reached a new high.
Speaking after inaugurating Kartavya Path, the stretch of road from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate earlier known as Rajpath, Modi said the renaming has given the country new energy and inspiration. He said that Kingsway or Rajpath, a symbol of slavery, has now been consigned to history and has been erased forever.
"If India had followed the path shown by Subhas Chandra Bose, then country would have reached a new high; sadly he was forgotten," he said.
Modi also unveiled a statue of Netaji at India Gate.
The revamped stretch is part of the Modi government's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment project, which also envisages a new triangular Parliament building, a common central secretariat, a new prime minister's residence and office, and a new vice-president's enclave.
