PM’s Telangana, Rajasthan visits updates | Modi inaugurates development projects worth ₹24,000 crore in Bikaner

Addressing an election rally in Bikaner, PM Modi said Rajasthan should have been at the top in the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission, but today it is among the laggard States.

“In terms of crime against women, Rajasthan tops the list in rape cases. The situation is such that here the protectors are becoming the predators. The whole government here seems to be busy in saving rape and murder accused,” PM Modi alleged.

Coming down heavily on the Congress, he said if it remains in power, it makes the country hollow and when it goes out of power, it defames the country by abusing it.

“Their leaders go abroad and abuse India,” he said.

Public anger against Congress government in Rajasthan has risen, when public anger rises, it takes no time to unseat those in power, PM Modi said in Bikaner.

There is only one meaning of Congress. Congress means ‘loot ki dukaan’ and ‘‘jooth ka bazaar”, he said adding that defeat of Congress in Rajasthan is so certain that its government has already entered ‘bye-bye mode’

The Prime Minister said considering the high potential in the area of development, the BJP-led Centre is making record investment in Rajasthan.

“Rajasthan has been a centre of immense potential and possibilities. It has the power to speed up the race for development. That is why we are making record investment here and also making the connectivity infrastructure high-tech,” he said.

Mr. Modi said enhanced connectivity will give a boost to tourism, which in turn will benefit youngsters, farmers and traders.

“We have taken all possible steps for Rajasthan’s development in last nine years. We started vibrant village scheme and declared villages on border as ‘country’s first village’ that led to development and tourism in these regions,” says PM Modi in Bikaner.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public gathering in Bikaner after laying the foundation stone for development projects worth over ₹24,000 crore. “Small traders and cottage industries get the most benefit from the development of infrastructure. In the last 9 years, we have made every possible effort for the development of Rajasthan,” he said in Bikaner.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday dedicated and laid the foundation stones of development projects worth more than Rs 24,300 crore in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district.

Modi dedicated to people a six-lane greenfield expressway section of the Amritsar-Jamnagar Economic Corridor, the first phase of the Inter-State Transmission Line for Green Energy Corridor, a Bikaner-to-Bhiwadi transmission line and a 30-bed Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) hospital.

He also laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of the Bikaner railway station and the doubling of the 43-km-long Churu-Ratangarh section.

Telangana Minister K.T. Rama Rao further alleged that it has become a habit of PM Modi to come to Telangana and lash out at the BRS government here, speak lies, and give a lecture before leaving with “empty hands.”

KTR said that the PM, who spoke about the Telangana government school education system, should remember that the BRS regime is spending ₹1.25 lakh on each student annually to impart quality education which nowhere in the country is done.

Hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks on the BRS Government, Telangana Minister K.T. Rama Rao on Saturday said the PM has insulted the people of the State by setting up a ₹520 crore wagon factory while “taking away” a ₹20,000 crore rupees locomotive factory to Gujarat.

Referring to PM’s comments that there are thousands of teacher posts vacant in Telangana, KTR said it is like “pot calling the kettle black” as the Centre is not filling more than 16 lakh Central government jobs and is permanently privatising jobs in public sector organisations.

“Before speaking about the vacancies in State universities, the PM should fill all the vacancies in the Central universities across the country. The prime Minister should respond to the issue of the Governor not clearing the legislation brought out by our government on the filling of jobs in universities,” the minister said. - PTI

Launching a scathing attack on Chief Minister Chandrashekar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi government and the Congress in Telangana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the State has been “trapped in the claws of dynastic parties.”

“Recently Telangana has completed nine years of its formation. Telangana may be a new State but the contribution of its people in the history of India has always been huge. The strength of Telugu people has always enhanced the strength of India. Today, when India has become the 5th largest economic power in the world, the people of Telangana have a big role to play in that too,” the Prime Minister said.

Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, Union Tourism Minister and newly-appointed president of BJP in Telangana G. Kishan Reddy, BJP MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar and other leaders were present on the occasion.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Warangal on Saturday morning to lay the foundation stone for various developmental projects even as the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) has boycotted the visit citing Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) failure to fulfil the promises made to Telangana and Mr. Modi’s ‘hatred’ towards the formation of Telangana itself.

Mr. Modi arrived at the Hakimpet airport at 9.30 a.m. and later took a helicopter to Mamunuru airstrip near Warangal. He landed at Mamunuru at 10.15 a.m. and went to offer prayers at the famous Bhadrakali temple in the city.
