2014 में सरकार में आने के बाद हमारी सरकार ने जब अटकी-लटकी-भटकी हुई योजनाओं को खंगालना शुरू किया तो उसमें इस प्रोजेक्ट का भी नाम आया।

इसके बाद बाण सागर परियोजना को प्रधानमंत्री कृषि सिंचाई योजना के तहत जोड़ा गया और इसे पूरा करने के लिए सारी ऊर्जा लगा दी गई: PM

इस क्षेत्र के लिए, यहां के गरीब, वंचित, शोषित के लिए जो सपने सोनेलाल पटेलजी जैसे कर्मशील लोगों ने देखे, उनको पूरा करने की तरफ हम निरंतर आगे बढ़ रहे हैं

पिछले 2 दिनों में विकास की अनेक योजनाओं को पूर्वांचल की जनता को समर्पित करने या फिर नए काम शुरु करने का अवसर मुझे मिला है: PM

लगभग 3,500 करोड़ की बाण सागर परियोजना से सिर्फ मिर्जापुर ही नहीं बल्कि इलाहाबाद समेत इस पूरे क्षेत्र की 1.5 लाख हेक्टेयर जमीन को सिंचाई की सुविधा मिलने जा रही है।

अगर ये प्रोजेक्ट पहले पूरा हो जाता, तो जो लाभ अब आपको मिलेगा, वो पहले से मिलने लगता: PM

He further hit out at the Opposition saying that those who are shedding crocodile tears for farmers today should be asked why did they not see irrigation projects which were left incomplete throughout the nation, during their tenure. "Those who are indulging in politics in the name of farmers had no time to raise the prices of MSP (Minimum Support Price). They sat on files," PM said.

जो लोग आजकल किसानों के लिए घड़ियाली आंसू बहाते हैं, उनसे आपको पूछना चाहिए कि आखिर क्यों उन्हें अपने शासन काल में देश भर में फैली इस तरह की अधूरी सिंचाई परियोजनाएं नहीं दिखाई दीं?

क्यों ऐसे कार्यों को अधूरा ही छोड़ दिया गया?: PM

Mirzapur is the Lok Sabha constituency is represented by Apna Dal, which holds 2 Lok Sabha seats. PM's visit to the place is also seen as a sign of further cementing of the ties between the two NDA partners. While addressing the rally, PM Modi said that since the time BJP-NDA government has come to power the development work in Purvanchal has accelerated and its results can be seen by everyone today.
