Modi guarantees ‘action against corruption’, says PM Narendra Modi in Chhattisgarh
Narendra Modi in Chhattisgarh. “People have decided to root out corrupt Congress government in Chhattisgarh." On July 7, Prime Minister Narendra Modi graced the inauguration and groundbreaking ceremonies of eight projects in the capital city of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, with an estimated total value of approximately ₹7,600 crore. The event, held at the Science College ground in Raipur, witnessed the virtual flagging off of a new train connecting Antagarh in Kanker district to Raipur.
The initiatives unveiled by PM Modi underscore the government's commitment to bolstering infrastructure and connectivity in the region. "Today, Chhattisgarh is receiving a gift of projects worth over ₹7,000 crore.
This gift is for infrastructure, connectivity and to make lives of people of Chhattisgarh easy," the prime minister said. He kickstarted the distribution of cards of the Centre's Ayushman Bharat scheme to beneficiaries in the state.
Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh are due by the end of this year. Speaking on the occasion, PM Modi said these new projects will open up ample employment opportunities for the people of the state and ease their lives. The projects will start a new journey of facilities and development in tribal-dominated areas, he said. "In the last nine years, the Centre sanctioned National Highway projects of 3,500 km length in Chhattisgarh, of which projects of 3,000 km length have been completed," he said. "We have been developing infrastructure in the areas which have been lagging in the race of development," PTI quoted the prime minister as saying. Another benefit of infrastructure which is seldom discussed is that it is related to injustice, he said.
