PM Modi campaigns in Raipur, Chhattisgarh

Published By : Admin | July 7, 2023 | 11:44 IST
Congress can play whatever games it wants to, but no one can stop Modi from taking Chhattisgarh ahead. Modi is son of poor, understand their pain: PM Modi
Modi is guarantee of action against corruption. One who has done wrong, won't be spared: PM Modi in Raipur
Congress cannot breathe without corruption. Corruption is Congress ideology. It is a guarantee of commission: PM Modi
Chhattisgarh is like an ATM for Congress: PM Modi in Raipur

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur. PM Modi expressed, "The formation of Chhattisgarh saw a significant contribution from the BJP. We possess a profound understanding of the people of Chhattisgarh and are well-aware of their requirements. Consequently, the government of BJP in Delhi is fully committed to propelling the rapid progress of Chhattisgarh."


Criticizing the Congress party for failing to deliver on their commitments, Prime Minister Modi remarked, "Among the thirty-six promises made by the Congress to Chhattisgarh was the pledge to impose a prohibition on liquor in the state. However, rather than implementing a ban, the Congress has been involved in a liquor scam worth thousands of crores in Chhattisgarh. This indicates that the Congress party has betrayed the trust of the mothers and sisters of Chhattisgarh as well as the state itself."


Furthermore, PM Modi said, “In Chhattisgarh, there is hardly any department or project that is free from scam. The coal mafia, sand mafia, and land mafia, among numerous others, have thrived unchecked. They have even impeded the progress of the Jal Jeevan Mission. From the state's leadership to ministers and officials, serious allegations of corruption have been levelled.”


PM Modi remarked, “Today the Government of Chhattisgarh has become a model of corruption and misrule of the Congress. That's why today only one voice is being raised from Chhattisgarh all around – ‘Badalbi, Badalbo,… Ae Dari Congress Ke Sarkaarle Badalbo’.”


Coming heavily on opposition parties, PM Modi asserted, “Some people get angry when I say that Congress is the guarantee of corruption and commission. They resort to cursing Modi. However, their displeasure serves as evidence that our government is moving in the right direction. Those who engage in corrupt practices are attempting to unite against us today. Those who were once bitter enemies are now seeking excuses to come together. They believe that by doing so, they can intimidate and disorient Modi.”


“However, they should understand this: if they guarantee corruption, then Modi guarantees decisive action against corruption. Those who have committed wrongdoings will not escape accountability. I have the courage to state this boldly because everything I have, everything I am, has been bestowed upon me by you, by our nation. These individuals may threaten to bury me, and conspire against me, but fear has no place in Modi's heart,” he added.


PM Modi talked about the several schemes and developments that helped the state. He said, “Over the past 9 years, you have witnessed the outcomes of our relentless efforts to combat the issue of Naxalism. Just a few years ago, the country had approximately 126 districts affected by Naxalism. However, we have successfully reduced that number to around 70 now.”


Stressing on the real guarantee of the BJP, PM Modi stated, “Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, 40 lakh poor people have been treated free of cost in Chhattisgarh. The farmers of Chhattisgarh have received Rs 6,500 crore from the PM Fasal Bima Yojana. This is the real guarantee of BJP. More than 6,600 crore rupees of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi have been received by about 40 lakh farmers here. This is the real guarantee of BJP.”


Accusing the Congress for neglecting public development schemes, PM Modi said, "The BJP is a party that prioritizes the welfare of the poor and is deeply concerned about their well-being. But Congress is the biggest enemy of the poor. The Congress government hinders the implementation of schemes initiated by the BJP government in Delhi, such as the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana. This obstruction is clearly evident. The central government had planned to construct 15 lakh houses for the underprivileged in Chhattisgarh, but the progress has been impeded. Congress has always used the tribal society as a vote bank."


During the public meeting, PM Modi said, “It is the BJP government that has got them their rights by including them in the list of tribes. This is the BJP government, which had created a separate Tribal Welfare Ministry. It is the BJP government which has opened hundreds of new Eklavya Model Schools for tribal children. It is the BJP government which has opened thousands of Van Dhan Kendras for tribal farmers.” The PM also addressed the extensive campaign launched to combat sickle cell anaemia.

The increased line capacity will significantly enhance mobility, resulting in improved operational efficiency and service reliability for Indian Railways. These multi-tracking proposals are poised to streamline operations and alleviate congestion. The projects are in line with the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji’s Vision of a New India which will make people of the region “Atmanirbhar” by way of comprehensive development in the area which will enhance their employment/ self-employment opportunities.

The projects are planned on PM-Gati Shakti National Master Plan with focus on enhancing multi-modal connectivity & logistic efficiency through integrated planning and stakeholder consultations. These projects will provide seamless connectivity for movement of people, goods, and services.

The 02 (Two) projects covering 15 Districts across the states of Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh will increase the existing network of Indian Railways by about 601 Kms.

The proposed capacity enhancement will improve rail connectivity to several prominent tourist destinations across the country, including Dudheshwarnath Temple, Garhmukteshwar Ganga Ghat, Dargah Shah Wilayat Jama Masjid (Amroha), Naimisharanya (Sitapur), Annavaram, Antarvedi, Draksharamam, etc.

The proposed projects are essential routes for transportation of commodities such as coal, foodgrains, cement, POL, iron and steel, container, fertilizers, sugar, chemical salts, limestone, etc. The Railways being environment friendly and energy efficient mode of transportation, will help both in achieving climate goals and minimizing logistics cost of the country lowering CO2 emissions (180.31Crore Kg) which is equivalent to plantation of 7.33 Crore trees.

Ghaziabad – Sitapur 3rd and 4th Line (403 Km)

  • Ghaziabad – Sitapur is an existing double line section forming a key part of Delhi- Guwahati High Density Network (HDN 4).
