Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the Centre over the Smart Cities Mission, alleging that the scheme failed to deliver on its promises and was presented as a “half-baked” vision of urban transformation, reported news agency PTI.

Gandhi criticised the government’s approach, claiming that the Smart Cities Mission reflected a pattern of making ambitious announcements without ensuring accountability. He said the scheme was heavily promoted as a transformative initiative but fell short in delivering meaningful improvements on the ground, reported PTI.
