My Gorakhpur visit exemplifies both development and heritage: PM Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said his Gorakhpur trip, which included a visit to Gita Press and the launch of modern trains, exemplified his government’s policy of combining development with heritage.

Addressing the closing ceremony of the centenary celebrations of Gita Press here, he also said that it is time to give up the slavery mentality and take pride in the country’s traditions.

“The Gorakhpur visit this time is a unique example of ‘Virasat bhi, Vikas bhi (heritage and development)’ policy,” Modi said.
