Amid the upcoming assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that we are moving with the mantra of a developed Gujarat for a developed India.
PM Modi laid the foundation stone and dedicated projects worth around Rs 5,860 crore in Rajkot, Gujarat and also inaugurated the India urban housing conclave 2022.
He also dedicated over 1,100 houses constructed under the Light House Project.
While addressing the gathering, he noted that in the last 21 years we have dreamt, taken many steps, and also achieved many successes.
“Rajkot kept on teaching me and I kept on learning. Rajkot was my first school," he said.
The Prime Minister continued, “In the last decades, it has been our constant endeavour that every Gujarati should be able and capable as much as possible. Whatever environment is needed for this, wherever it is to be encouraged, that government is doing it."
PM Modi informed that while, on one hand, we gave thrust to industries, and investments through the vibrant Gujarat campaign, on the other hand, we took the initiative to empower the village and the poor through Krishi Mahotsav and Garib Kalyan Melas.
Amid BJP's long run in Gujrat, Modi said, “The previous governments constructed houses for the poor not as a responsibility but as a favour. It is our constant effort to make the house of the poor better."
The Prime Minister explained that without a life of basic facilities and dignity it is impossible to come out of poverty.
He said a house equipped with toilets, electricity, piped water, cooking gas and internet connectivity is something that is being ensured for the poor.
