Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a 'special selfie' with a specially-abled BJP worker. He interacted with the BJP Karyakarta and praised him for his dedication and loyalty toward the party.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met a specially-abled BJP worker S. Manikandan on Saturday evening in Chennai and took a 'special selfie' with him. Towards the end of his visit to Chennai for inaugurating several development projects, he met Manikandan and interacted with him.

While sharing the selfie on his official Twitter handle, the Prime Minister said, "A special selfie... In Chennai I met Thiru S. Manikandan. He is a proud Karyakarta from Erode, serving as a booth president."

PM Modi in the same thread of tweets wrote about Manikandan, "A person with a disability, he runs his own shop, and the most motivating aspect is, he gives a substantial part of his daily profits to BJP. I feel very proud of being a Karyakarta in a Party where we have people like Thiru S. Manikandan."

The Prime Minister wished him the best for his future endavours by saying, "His life journey is inspiring and equally inspiring his commitment to our Party and our ideology. My best wishes to him for his future endeavours."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated developmental projects worth ₹ 5,200 crores in Tamil Nadu's Chennai and said that the government's work culture and vision have made these achievements possible. The Prime Minister said that his government works in a timely manner with deadlines and achieves results prior to the deadline itself.

While addressing a public meeting in Chennai, he said, "Two things made the government's achievements possible: work culture and vision. Earlier, infrastructure projects meant delays, now they mean delivery. The journey from delay to delivery has happened due to our work culture. We feel accountable for every rupee that our taxpayers pay. We work with specific deadlines and achieve results even before them."

He said that the BJP government does not see infrastructure as just concrete, bricks, and cement but with a human face that "connects aspirations with achievements".

He talked about the Vande Bharat Express between Chennai and Coimbatore which he flagged off on Saturday and said that it will connect small businesses with customers.
