PM Modi addresses gathering
The Prime Minister also addressed the gathering and attacked the Opposition.
"You can see that in the past few days, I have been inaugurating several projects of the country from one place itself. When people hear about several airports, several railway stations, several IIMs and several AIIMS, they get surprised. Sometimes, they also put the old mindset in the same bracket - that it is an election season. What used to happen in election season earlier? People in previous governments used to make announcements to deceive people...When I analyse, I find that announcements were made 30-35 years ago. They used to put up a plaque before elections and disappear after that, the leaders disappeared too..." he said.
"Today, the country can see that "Modi doosri mitti ka insaan hai." The foundation stones we laid in 2019, were not for elections. You can see that we have inaugurated it too. Even in 2024, nobody should see it through the lens of elections. This is the campaign of my journey for development. I am running the country with full speed to fulfill the dream of making India 'viksit' by 2047," PM Modi added.
"I give you another guarantee to the people of Azamgarh. Azamgarh will be bastion of development for eternity," he added.
The Prime Minister lauded the change of law and order state in the town, and said that the region is witnessing a rapid development.
"Azamgarh has also seen mafia, and it is witnessing law and order. The region is seeing rapid development," he said.

"What was the identity of Azamgarh 10 years back? Azamgarh, which was made the bastion of criminal and mafia activities - today, PM Modi has come to that Azamagarh and is showering money here by giving the gifts of projects worth crores of Rupees. In the last 10 years, Azamgarh has not only been given a good atmosphere of security but has also been given modern infrastructure. We are thankful to PM Modi for this," he said.
