PM Modi addresses
At a public gathering in Sangareddy, the Prime Minister said that India has emerged as a new ray of hope in the entire world. "You all know that Modi does what he says. I had said that we will take India to new heights. Today, you can see that India has emerged as a new ray of hope in the entire world," said PM Modi.
"We had promised to revoke Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP fulfilled that promise in such a way that a movie, 'Article 370', has been made on this issue. The movie is getting popular. This is the first time that people are showing interest in such issues, thanks to movies like these. We had also promised to welcome Lord Ram in a grand temple in Ayodhya. This promise has also been fulfilled," he said.
He further guaranteed that in the next few years, India will become the third-largest economy in the world.
'They say family first, Modi says nation first'
"When I oppose familism and say that it is against democracy and not allowing new talent to emerge, they say 'Modi has no family'. Do they have the license to steal? I have seen CMs who have family members on high posts in their respective states. Is this democracy? They say their fight is against Modi's ideology. They say Modi has no family. Is this an ideological battle? I will tell you what an ideological battle is - they say family first, Modi says nation first," said PM Modi.
Attacking the I.N.D.I bloc leaders on 'Parivarvaad' jibe, PM Modi said that Congress and its alliance partners are abusing me and my family. "Do you know why they are abusing me? The reason why the mere sight of me makes them restless is because I am unveiling their secrets and scams. I never make personal comments on anyone, I just say that they are 'Parivarvadi'... When I oppose 'Parivarvad' and say 'Parivarvad' does not let talent grow and hinders the growth of the country as well as the individuals, they do not reply. They say 'Modi ka koi pariwar hi nahi hai'," he added.
After dedicating and laying the foundation stone of several development projects in Sangareddy, PM Modi said that Telangana is known as the gateway of South India. "To improve the railway facilities in Telangana, the process of electrification is also being done," he added.
Reiterating his commitment for Telangana's progress, the PM said he works with the spirit that states' development is the country's growth. "Today 140 crore Indians are determined for Viksit Bharat (developed India)," he said at an official event.
PM Modi further said that it was essential to have modern infrastructure for a developed India. "Therefore, the Centre had allocated Rs 11,000 crore towards infrastructure in this year's budget and the Centre wanted Telangana to benefit from it," he said.
He said since the last 10 years, the Centre was continuously working to take Telangana to new heights of development, he said.
Recalling that he had launched development projects worth Rs 56,000 crore from Adilabad in the state on Monday, he said development initiatives worth about Rs 7,000 crore were started at Sangareddy town today.
