"Someone is dreaming to become Hitler in this country. We shouldn't allow such forces to succeed. We must foil his attempt in this elections," he tweeted, without naming Modi.

Pawar, the Union Agriculture Minister, also took a dig at the Gujarat Chieef Minister in connection with his remarks on Quit India Movement.

"According to NaMo, Gandhiji launched Quit India Movement from Wardha.... Thank god he didn't say that it was launched from Ahmedabad...!"

Attacking BJP on women's reservation, Pawar also tweeted, "We want to give 50% reservation to women in legislature. BJP leaders always made fun of it in private. How will they run this nation...?"

Modi is under attack from several non-BJP leaders during the course of the high voltage Lok Sabha campaign.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi has accused Modi of indulging in divisive politics by "sowing seeds of poison" while party vice president Rahul Gandhi accused him of practicing "politics of anger".

BSP chief Mayawati has called Modi a slayer of humanity while West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee termed him as a person "with stain of riots on his hands", and said he can never become the prime minister of the country.

Odisha Chief Minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik has also described Modi as a "controversial" prime ministerial candidate who is not "healthy" for the country due to his communal background.

Samajwadi Party(SP) supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has also targeted Modi in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots.

New Delhi, May 12: Stranded for over 50 days due to the lockdown and suspension of passenger train services, many people in the national capital will finally be able to reach their destinations in different parts of the country after the railways resumed services on Tuesday.

Three special AC trains will leave the New Delhi railway station for Dibrugarh, Bengaluru and Bilaspur.

The train to Dibrugarh in Assam will leave at 4.45 p.m, while the one leaving for Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh and Bengaluru in Karnataka will leave the New Delhi station at 5.30 p.m and 9.15 p.m respectively.

Entry to the station has been facilitated from the Paharganj side for all confirmed ticket holders. No entry for passengers holding such tickets will be permitted from the Ajmeri Gate side, the railways said.

Railway authorities have put barricades outside the station premises and only those with confirmed tickets are being allowed to enter.

All passengers are undergoing thermal screening before entering the station premises. For this purpose, they have also been asked to reach the station 90 minutes prior to the departure of the train.

A senior Railway Police Force officer said every passenger is being subjected to thermal screening. Hand sanitiser machines have also been placed at the entrance and the passengers are being advised to sanitise their hands before entering the station premises.

Syed Yasir, a private retail sector executive, said due to the resumption of services he will now be able to go to Nagpur to be with his family on Eid. 

Surendra, an engineer with a PSU, was on an assignment in Agra when the lockdown was announced. After the Railways decided to resume passenger train services, he came to Delhi in a private vehicle to board the train to Bengaluru.

"I was on an assignment in Agra where I was stuck. I have come from Agra in a private vehicle and now going to board the train to Bengaluru," Surendra, who identified himself with his first name, said.

Five more trains bound for Delhi will leave from Patna, Bengaluru, Howrah, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, the railways said.
