VARANASI (UP) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched or laid foundation of 50 projects worth 1,254 crore in his Lok Sabha constituency.

It will be the first overnight private train in the country to connect three Jyotirling pilgrim centres of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, and Ujjain and Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh.

The prime minister dedicated to the nation the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Memorial Centre and unveiled a 63-feet tall statue of the RSS ideologue - the tallest statue of the leader in the country.
