# Yogi unveils Rs 800 crore projects in Raebareli, says Congress neglected it 2026-08-24T13:48:14+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday inaugurated development projects worth over Rs 800 crore in Raebareli, a Congress stronghold, and said the district has changed under BJP-led governments. He accused the Congress and Samajwadi Party of leaving the area deprived and underdeveloped. Adityanath highlighted the modern coach factory in Raebareli, which produced a record 2,106 coaches in 2025-26, and said a complete Vande Bharat train set was rolled out from the factory in May 2026. He claimed that BJP governments ensured better delivery of welfare schemes, while alleging that under Congress only 15 paise of every rupee reached the poor. Taking a swipe at the Gandhi family, the chief minister said Congress and Samajwadi Party never honoured freedom fighters and only respected their own families. He also warned of a zero-tolerance policy against crime, saying those compromising the safety of daughters and traders would face jail or hell. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Raebareli has been a Congress bastion since Independence, held by Sonia Gandhi for five terms and now by Rahul Gandhi. Adityanath's visit, with a large project outlay, is aimed at chipping away that legacy ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. The coach factory, set up under UPA in 2012, is a rare Congress-era asset the BJP now showcases as its own achievement. The real test is whether these projects translate into votes in a constituency that has not elected a BJP MP since 1952. Watch for Raebareli's assembly segments in the 2027 state polls. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Leads with Adityanath's attack on Congress, quotes his most inflammatory lines including 'jail or hell' and 'goon' allegations, prioritising drama over development details This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
