Speaking to media persons on Tuesday, he said that if elected to the Parliament, the NDA government, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, would provide overall growth in all spheres. Without disturbing the fertile area, the land for airport would be identified. “With my vast experience, I can bring in change for good. Due to Mr Modi’s commitment, not only Theni but the entire State will stand to benefit,” he said.
“In the last three weeks of campaign, I could see Theni district needed promotion of horticulture, agro-based units and cold storage facilities.
Marginal farmers must be given encouragement as the district has copious water. There are numerous schemes in the Union government for them and they would be brought to Theni, Mr. Dhinakaran added.
