Addressing an election rally in support of BJP Virudhunagar Assembly constituency candidate G. Pandurangan, on Wednesday, Mr. Adityanath contended that there was an overall development in infrastructure development like highways, railways and new airports in the country in the last six years.
“All the major railway stations like Chennai Central and Chennai Egmore had looks like airport,” he said.
The Prime Minister has given the country’s first defence corridor to Tamil Nadu, he added. The infrastructure development will take Tamil Nadu to newer heights, he said.
The development in infrastructure front will give an impetus to economic development of the Tamil Nadu as well as India, he added.
Stating that the previous Congress Governments that had ruled the nation for a very long period could not give even power supply to all the villages, he said that Mr Modi has taken power supply to all villages in the country. Besides, it was committed to providing protected drinking water to all households.
Giving credit to the Centre for effectively handling COVID-19 pandemic in the country, Mr. Adityanath said that the Centre deposited Rs. 500 every month to Jan Dhan accounts, gave free ration to people, provided special packages to revive micro, medium and small enterprises.
“The whole world was awe-struck by the way the Modi government handled the pandemic,” he said.
However, on the other hand, when Congress and DMK were in power, they were known for corruption, atrocities and demeaning women, he claimed.
Such parties should be defeated, and NDA should be given an opportunity for the AIADMK to come back to power to continue with the development works of the Centre.
