Kutch: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that Kutch today is one of the fastest developing areas in the country, and has taken a big step towards new-age technology and new age economy. Speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony of development projects in Kutch, PM Modi said "Kutch is one of the fastest developing areas. Connectivity is improving here day by day." PM Modi today undertook a visit to Dhordo in Kutch, Gujarat and laid the Foundation Stone of several development projects in the State. These projects include a desalination plant, a hybrid renewable energy park, and a fully automated milk processing and packing plant. PM Modi in his address spoke about the ongoing massive farmers protest in the national capital against the three farm bills enacted by the central government earlier this year.

People who're sitting in the Opposition today and misleading the farmers were in support of these same farming reforms.

Now that we've take this historic step, they're the same people who are leading the line in misleading farmers: PM @narendramodi #KutchWelcomesPMModi — BJP LIVE (@BJPLive) December 15, 2020

"The agriculture reforms that have taken place are exactly what farmer bodies and even Opposition have been asking over the years. Government of India is always committed to farmer welfare and we will keep assuring the farmers and addressing their concerns," PM Modi said in his address. "People who are sitting in the Opposition & misleading farmers today were in the favour of these farm reforms during their govt. They could not make a decision during their govt. Today when the nation has taken a historical step then these people are misleading farmers," Prime Minister added. While speaking to the people of Kutch over the fast economic developments, PM Modi said " People of Kutch turned disappointment into hope...Even a big earthquake couldn't shatter the morale of Kutch residents. Everyone stood-up again after the quake and now look where have they taken Kutch." Over the last twenty years, Gujarat introduced many farmer-friendly schemes. Gujarat was among the earliest to work on strengthening solar energy capacities, Prime Minister added.
