Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an event at inauguration of new terminal building of veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair. Quoting a Hindi song, 'Ek Chehre Par Kayi Chehre Laga Lete Hain Log', PM Modi said, "Whenever the people of India see the opposition masking the reality, it reinforces the lakhs and crores of worth corruption committed by them exposing their own reality." He further added that people have believed that this alliance by the opposition is nothing but the guarantee of Rs. 20 lakh crore worth of corruption.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today highlighted that over the last 12 years, India has witnessed many transformations, stating that at the core of these changes is the welfare of the poor and downtrodden. The Prime Minister noted that the government has always been inspired by Antyodaya and its effort has always been to ensure that the benefits of development reach those who were left behind for decades.
Shri Modi observed that from Jan Dhan accounts and Direct Benefit Transfer to Swachh Bharat, PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, Ayushman Bharat and more, every initiative has been driven by a simple objective of ensuring people have dignity and opportunity.
