Amit Shah flags off India's first LNG train; claims ‘Modi transformed railways, Congress known for scams’
In 2015-16, the Railways used 293 crore litres of diesel. By 2030 it will be reduced to zero, the Home Minister said
Union Minister Amit Shah flagged off India's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) train on September 27, 2026, from Sabarmati station in Gujarat, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has transformed the Railways. Shah claimed that the Congress is known for scams and urged people to challenge them with facts and figures. He highlighted the numerous projects initiated by Modi, including the dedicated freight corridor, rapid rail system, and premium stations.
Shah also flagged off a WAG-12 electric locomotive and dedicated funds for major railway projects worth over ₹1,500 crore. He praised Modi's contribution to the railways, noting the successful trials of the first long double stack container train and the installation of over 97% bio toilets in trains. Shah also emphasized the significant reductions in diesel usage and the increase in electrification of railway tracks, stating that India will soon complete 100% electrification. He attributed these achievements to Modi's leadership and the concept of Make in India.
