NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday laid the foundation stone and inaugurated projects worth over Rs 19,100 crores for the Bulandshahr and Meerut divisions.
Among the projects inaugurated were a medical college in the name of Kalyan Singh, a section of the Dedicated Freight Corridor, the four-lane highway between Aligarh and Kannauj and various other projects.
The prime minister also inaugurated a train line that connects Mathura to Palwal and Chipiyana Buzurg to Dadri. These proposed lines will boost rail connectivity from the national capital to southern, western, and eastern India.
Addressing a public rally in Bulandshahr, PM Modi pointed out the shortcomings of the previous governments in their inability to develop the state.
“Earlier governments in Uttar Pradesh behaved like rulers, did not pay attention to the state. Many generations had to pay the price for it and it also caused huge loss to the nation”, he said.
“How could the country be strong when its largest state was weak?”, he rhetorically added.
Further, PM Modi inaugurated the reconstructed Mathura sewerage scheme, which includes the construction of a sewage treatment plant costing approximately Rs 460 crore.
Unveiling multiple road development projects, PM Modi inaugurated the 255-km-long Indian Oil’s Tundla-Gawaria pipeline built at a cost of about Rs 700 crore.
Highlighting the works done for the welfare of the farmers by the BJP government, PM Modi said, “Today in the world a bag of urea is available for up to Rs 3000, but Indian farmers are getting it for less than Rs 300.”
Taking a dig at the late Congress leader and the former PM Indira Gandhi, PM Modi said, “After independence for a long time people raised slogans of Garibi Hatao & some kept lying in the name of social justice.”
“But the poor saw that only some people got rich & it benefitted their politics. But the situation in the country is changing as Modi is serving you with all honesty,” he added.
On the occasion, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath presented Modi with a statue of Lord Ram.
