CM announces Rs.3500 crore development package for Jamnagar
11,111 people voluntarily fast with CM
Concluding his one-day fast at Jamnagar under Sadbhavna Mission district abhiyan Chief Minister Narendra Modi said that people are supporting the Mission in a huge way and their support is a reflection of their worship towards their state.
It is noteworthy that as many as 11,111 people from the Jamnagar city and Dhrol-Jodiya and Kalawad taluka voluntarily set on the fast with the Chief Minister today to convey their support.
Chief Minister also announced a development package of Rs.3,500 crore for Jamnagar city and the district. He said the present government has used every paisa for the welfare of people without increasing the tax, putting a break on the corrupt practices of the past Congress governments where mediators were siphoning the money that were meant for the good of the people. Mr.Modi said the package announced for Jamnagar is even more than the state budget during the Congress regime.
Thanking the people for their support Chief Minister said that a power-hungry and anti-Gujarat troop has spared no opportunity to defame Gujarat during last ten years. Sadbhavna Mission is a satvic way of answering these people. The element of serenity in the Sadbhanva Mission is the reason behind the huge support of the people.
It is out of the capacity of any political pandit to analyze the unprecedented support that is being received by Sadbhavna Mission. Those who try to weigh this support with political point of view are making a mistake, he said..
Gujarat and development has become synonymous to each other. This is because of the atmosphere of peace, unity and harmony that is prevailing in the state. Riots and curfews have become the days of past and the Modi-model has become the yardstick of development, he said.
Chief Minister exuded faith that the power of Sadbhana would contribute greatly in the growth of the nation.
