Taking a dig at the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that for 60 years they did not bring development and always played with the sentiments of the poor. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has turned the state from a ‘Bimaru Rajya’ to the top ten states in the country.
Addressing a rally in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior, PM Modi said that Gwalior-Chambal has given bravehearts for the security of the country. “I salute this historic land of Gwalior. This land symbolizes courage, pride, military honour, music, taste, and the cultivation of mustard. Gwalior has given the nation a multitude of freedom fighters. Gwalior-Chambal has given bravehearts for the security of the country. Gwalior has also played a significant role in shaping the policies and leadership of the BJP,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that today Madhya Pradesh has faith in a double-engine government which means ‘double’ development of the state. “Double engine means double development in Madhya Pradesh. In these years our government has turned the state from a ‘Bimaru Rajya’ to the top ten states in the country. Our aim is to make Madhya Pradesh one of the top three states of the country. Your one vote for Double Engine will take Madhya Pradesh to top-3,” said PM Modi.
He said that the next five years are crucial for Madhya Pradesh’s development and the double engine government is necessary in the state. “Those who got 60 years could not bring development and always played with the sentiments of the poor,” said PM Modi in Gwalior.
PM Modi slammed opposition forces as anti-development and said they have hatred towards growth because of their politics. “Those people who don’t have a new thinking or a new roadmap development can never help Madhya Pradesh progress. These people have only one work and that is to hate the country’s progress and the various schemes. They forget about the country’s achievements with all the hatred that they have,” he added.
PM Modi said that the foundation stones for projects worth over Rs 19,000 crore have been laid here and the number of projects launched by BJP in a year has never been done by any other party. “Today a lot of connectivity projects were launched…IIT Indore a lot of new work has started,” said PM Modi during his rally in Gwalior.
