The PM said that for 10 years there were scams, scams in the name of infrastructure in the country. To make up for the loss caused to the country by this, we worked twice as hard and are doing it even today. He said that there should be one rank one pension, modern weapons and weapons, give a befitting reply to the terrorists, as they had vowed to demoralize the army at every level. The government that is in place today cannot come under pressure from any country in the world.
The PM said that between 2007 and 2014, the central government had built only 288 km of national highways in Uttarakhand in seven years.
Whereas our government has constructed a national highway of more than 2 thousand kilometers in Uttarakhand in its seven years. Even the earlier governments did not work on the infrastructure of the border hill areas as seriously as they should have. Roads should be built near the border, bridges should be built, they did not pay attention to this
’10 years government wasted time’
Modi said that at the beginning of this century, Atal ji had started a campaign to increase connectivity in India. But after 10 years there was such a government in the country, which wasted valuable time of the country, Uttarakhand. We are people following the mantra of nation first, always first. Today, India is moving ahead with the intention of investing more than Rs 100 lakh crore on modern infrastructure. Today, India’s policy is that of dynamism, to work twice or thrice as fast.
‘Only the work of filling the safe was done’
The policy of those who remained in the government for years was not far-fetched. For them, Uttarakhand or other regions of India, they had only one job, filling their houses, filling their safes and taking care of their families only. For us Uttarakhand is the path of austerity and penance. The earlier central government built only 288 km of highways in Uttarakhand in seven years. Our government built more than 2000 km of highways in seven years. The earlier government spent only six hundred crore rupees on the national highway of Uttarakhand in seven years. Our government has spent more than Rs 12000 crore in these seven years so far. Where 600 crores where 12000 crores rupees. Uttarakhand is a priority for us.
‘People of Kedarnath are doing darshan in record numbers’
The PM said that the reconstruction of Kedardham has not only increased the number of devotees, but has also provided many opportunities for employment and self-employment to the people there. Before Kedarnath tragedy, in 2012, 5 lakh 70 thousand people had darshan. It was a record at that time. Whereas before the start of the Corona period, in 2019, more than 10 lakh people had come to visit Kedarnath ji.
‘Time to reach Dehradun from Delhi will be half’
Modi said that today I am very happy that the foundation stone of Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor has been laid. When it is ready, then the time taken to travel from Delhi to Dehradun will be almost half. Our mountains, our culture, are not only strongholds of faith, they are also the fortresses of our country’s security. One of the top priorities of the country is to make life easier for the people living in the mountains. Unfortunately, this thought was nowhere in the policy-strategy of those who remained in the government for decades.
‘The Passion to Change Appearance’
The PM said that we are the nation first, the people who always walk on the first. Hundreds of kilometers of roads have been built along the border. The work is going on fast. The people living on the hills used to dream of joining the mainstream of development. Generations pass by. When will we get electricity, when will the road to the village be built, whether we will get good medical facilities or not, when will the migration stop? Like all the questions came. But when there is passion to do something, the appearance also changes and the attitude also changes. We are working hard to fulfill your dream.
