The More Rajasthan Develops, More India's Development Will Gain Momentum: PM Modi In Nathdwara

PM Narendra Modi in Rajasthan's Nathdwara said that the more Rajasthan develops, the more India's development will gain momentum

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Rajasthan on Wednesday as Karnataka votes to elect a fresh state assembly. Addressing a rally in Nathdwara here, he said the more Rajasthan develops, the more India's development will gain momentum. PM Modi said that the government of India believes in the 'mantra' of the development of the country through the development of the state.

Taking a jibe at the opposition parties, the PM said, "Some people are filled with so much negativity that they can't see any good things happening in the country. They only like to create controversy. You might have heard some people say 'Ki Aata pehle ya Data pehle' but history is witness that along with basic facilities, modern infrastructure is also necessary for fast-paced development."

Notably, the Prime Minister began his visit by offering prayers at Shrinathji Temple.

The Prime Minister also dedicated and laid the foundation stone of infrastructure projects worth over Rs 5,500 crores during his visit. He said, "Today I have inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of infrastructure projects worth more than Rs 5500 crore. I congratulate the people of Rajasthan for these development projects. Our government is focusing on providing modern infrastructure in Rajasthan."

Claiming that medical colleges and other projects have not been operated properly by the governments earlier, he said, "If enough medical colleges would have been built earlier, we would not have had to face the shortage of doctors, if every household would have got water, we would not have had to start the Rs 3.5 lakh crore Jal Jeevan Mission. Negative people do not have far-sighted vision and they can't think beyond their political interests."

"I got another opportunity to visit Lord Shri Nathji and the heroic land of Mewar. I have sought blessings from Shrinathji for a developed India. The foundation stone of more than 5000 projects has been laid, which will work to take Rajasthan to greater heights," the Prime Minister said, adding "there will be better development of Udaipur, Dungarpur and Banswara, access to Jodhpur will be very easy".

The PM said that the distance from Jaipur to Jodhpur will also be reduced by three hours and it would become very easy to visit Shrinathji temple. "Rajasthan is one of the largest states of the country, which is the basis of India's heritage and culture, our government lays maximum emphasis on modern facilities in Rajasthan," the Prime Minister said.

He said that work is going on at a very fast pace on all kinds of investments in the country and that the Centre is investing thousands of crores of rupees.

Taking a veiled jibe at his critics, he said, "Some people in our country have become victims of sold ideology, who do not want to see anything good happening in the country, they only do controversies."

"Those who weigh everything with the scales of votes at every step, are never able to plan properly. Because of this thinking in our country, development was not given priority," the Prime Minister added.

Meanwhile, while speaking at a programme in Dholpur, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot put the ball in Vasundhara Raje’s court saying it was because of the latter that the rebellion against him could not succeed. 

Rejecting Gehlot’s claim, Raje told ABP News that Gehlot was scared of losing and so is speaking a lie. Terming it a “conspiracy” Raje said, “No one can insult me ​​as much as Gehlot did. He is making up fabricated stories.”
