बीते साढ़े 4 वर्षों से सरकार ने ऐसे विकास का रास्ता चुना है, जिस पर नए भारत की भव्य और दिव्य इमारत का निर्माण हो सके: PM @narendramodi
आज हम 21वीं सदी के उस पड़ाव पर हैं, जब कनेक्टिविटी पर बहुत ज्यादा काम किए जाने की आवश्यकता है। इसलिए हमारी सरकार पूरे देश में कनेक्टिविटी बढ़ाने पर निरंतर जोर दे रही है। इसमें भी पूर्वी भारत, उत्तर पूर्वी भारत पर विशेष ध्यान दिया जा रहा है: PM @narendramodi

रेलवे के साथ-साथ हमारे नेशनल हाईवे भी कनेक्टिविटी का मज़बूत आधार रहे हैं। केंद्र सरकार का ये निरंतर प्रयास है कि गांव से लेकर शहर तक पक्की और अच्छी सड़कों का जाल बिछाया जाए: PM @narendramodi

सामान्य मानवी का सिस्टम से संघर्ष कम हो, जिन सुविधाओं का वो हकदार है, वो उसे आसानी से मिलें, सरकारी सेवाओं के लिए उसे दफ्तरों के चक्कर ना लगाने पड़े, इस दिशा में हम आगे बढ़ रहे हैं और नई व्यवस्थाएं तैयार कर रहे हैं: PM @narendramodi
