'Priority Is Development Not Vote Bank': PM Modi Inaugurates Projects Worth Rs 10,863 Crore In Karnataka

PM Modi also said that the region was left backward because previous governments have turned a blind eye and failed to work towards the development and better people's life

After inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of various development projects with a total worth of Rs 10,863 crore in Karnataka's Yadgiri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that BJP's priority is development and not vote bank. He also said that the region was left backward because previous governments have turned a blind eye and failed to work towards the development and better people's life.

"We brought development and good governance in those districts that were announced backward by the previous governments.

"When Jal Jeevan Mission started 3.5 years ago, out of 18 crore rural households only 3 crore rural households had a tap water connection. Today, about 11 crore rural families in the country are getting tap water," PM Modi said after inaugurating and laying foundation stone for projects worth Rs 10,863 crores in Yadgiri district.

"The way the development is being carried out in North Karnataka is appreciable. As India has completed 75 years of its independence, now is the time it marches ahead with yet stronger spirits in the coming times. India can become 'Developed', only when the 'Farms' and the 'Factories' are both prosperous," he said.

After laying the foundation stone of the 65.5 km section of National Highway 150C — the 6-lane Greenfield road project  — which is part of the Surat-Chennai Expressway that will be built at a cost of about Rs 2,000 crore, he said, "The BJP government is emphasising on the development of infrastructure and this road project will eliminate connectivity issues in North Karnataka, which will benefit every person."
