Modi congratulates Starmer on Labour Party’s win in UK elections

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday congratulated Labour Party's leader Keir Starmer on his landslide victory in the UK elections while also lauding outgoing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for his "admirable leadership" and active contribution to deepening India-UK ties.

Starmer will have a lot to rebuild

Uphill task

In a bid to project an image of a resolute decision-maker and a catalyst for change, Mr Sunak made the surprising announcement during the Conservative Party’s annual conference at Manchester of cancelling a high-speed rail project to that city itself.
