The BJP tweeted, “Here is our #5YearChallenge. In 2013, only Rs. 1,300 crore were allocated for Kumbh. In 2019, Rs. 4,200 crore budget provided for Kumbh 2019.”

Union Minister Piyush Goyal tweeted about the change in development which took place in last 5 years and said, “The long overdue completion of a crucial project like the Bogibeel Bridge, along with transformational policies like Ayushman Bharat and Ujjwala Yojana symbolise the 360 degree makeover India has seen since 2014.”

A post by a Twitter user, Dhaval Patel, highlighted the change in the condition of Railways and the tweet was retweeted by Union Minister Smriti Irani which read, “This is what positive change PM @narendramodi has brought in last 5 years in Railway.
