Continuing his election campaigning spree, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Charkhi Dadri and Kurukshetra in Haryana today. Addressing the gathering, PM Modi said, "I don't come to Haryana for election rallies, I don't campaign for BJP in Haryana. Haryana itself calls me. I can't stop myself from coming here. You have given me so much love.”

“Charkhi Dadri is now connected by 4-5 National Highways, new medical colleges are being built here, a logistic hub is being built. All this is happening when you put a double engine of development - Narendra Modi's engine in Delhi and Manohar Lal's engine in Haryana," said PM Modi while campaigning in Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri.

Asserting that once, the BJP had two or three seats in Haryana, the PM said that his party has now reached the position of forming a government in the state for the second consecutive time due to the blessings and love of people of Haryana.

PM Modi urged people to launch a campaign to honour daughters, he said, “We will have two types of Diwali this time. A 'diya' (earthen lamp) Diwali, and a 'kamal' (lotus) Diwali. We should dedicate this Diwali to our daughters and celebrate their achievements.” Unprecedented steps have been taken by the government for economic empowerment and self-employment of daughters, he added furthermore.

Hailing the transformation of Haryana’s villages, the Prime Minister remarked, “Our villages are giving impetus to the social changes happening in the country. Our villages, while maintaining their culture and traditions, are taking the society on new thinking and new paths. Only the villages of the country have proved their resolve to get rid of open defecation."

In Kurukshetra, PM Narendra Modi shared that the Central government has made arrangements for the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev. "Today I have come to Kurukshetra at a time when the whole country is preparing to celebrate the 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This Prakash festival should be celebrated in a grand manner all over the world, for this the central government is making full arrangements," he said.

Launching a broadside against the Congress, PM Modi asked the opposition party to explain its love for Article 370 to the families of security personnel martyred in Jammu and Kashmir. He dared the Opposition to declare in their manifesto that they will bring back Article 370.

Regarding retired soldiers’ pension, Prime Minister Modi said his government had delivered on the promise of ‘One Rank One Pension’ by allotting Rs 900 crore for Haryana alone. Also, the PM urged citizens of Haryana to come out and vote in large numbers.

It involves consolidation of Through Routes and Major Rural Links connecting habitations to Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs), Higher Secondary Schools and Hospitals. The revised outlay of the scheme will be Rs.83,977 crore.

The Cabinet further, amongst other things, approved the following:

  • Revision of outlay to Rs. 83,977 crore from original outlay of Rs.80,250 crore.

Benefits:

The extension of the timeline of PMGSY-III will enable the full realization of its intended socio-economic benefits by ensuring completion of targeted upgradation of rural roads. It will significantly boost the rural economy and trade by enhancing market access for agricultural and non-farm products, reducing transportation time and costs, and thereby improving rural incomes. Improved connectivity will facilitate better access to education and healthcare institutions, ensuring timely delivery of essential services, particularly in remote and underserved areas.

The continued implementation will also generate substantial employment opportunities, both directly through construction activities and indirectly by promoting rural enterprises and services. Overall, the extension will contribute to inclusive and sustainable development by bridging the rural-urban divide and advancing the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
