Large numbers of BJP workers welcome Shri Modi at Chennai Airport

Congress-led UPA Government has lost the trust of the people: Shri Modi

 

On Thursday 17th January 2013 Shri Narendra Modi visited Chennai. Shri Modi landed in Chennai to a grand welcome organized by the Tamil Nadu BJP workers.

Attacking the Congress-led UPA Government, Shri Modi said that while the people of India have a thirst of development, the UPA Government has comprehensively failed to give expression to the aspirations of the people. He pointed that due to their working, corruption and lack of development the UPA has ruined the dreams of the nation and has betrayed the trust of the people of India.

The workers congratulated Shri Modi on leading the BJP to a record victory in the Gujarat Vidhan Sabha Elections 2012. Shri Modi pointed that those Governments that are unable to fulfill the dreams of development cannot win the trust of the people. But, Gujarat is a state where the BJP Government has received a record mandate and the Government has won the trust of the people, making them active partners in the quest for development and good governance. It is due to these efforts that today Gujarat is a model state of development while due to the Congress-led the UPA there is an atmosphere of gloom and pessimism across the nation. Shri Narendra Modi declared that except for development there is no solution to the problems the people of India face.

The Chief Minister paid tributes to former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Shri MG Ramachandran. He wrote on Twitter, “Today is 96th birth anniversary of legendary former Tamil Nadu CM & evergreen hero of Tamilians, Thiru MGR. I greet all his fans & followers.” He also Tweeted, “In Chennai today. After being re-elected by the people of Gujarat, this is my 1st visit to Tamil Nadu & Chennai.”

Tamil Nadu BJP President Shri P Radhakrishnan welcomed Shri Modi at Chennai Airport.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi earlier today chaired the meeting of the 45th edition of PRAGATI, the ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, involving Centre and State governments.

In the meeting, eight significant projects were reviewed, which included six Metro Projects of Urban Transport and one project each relating to Road connectivity and Thermal power. The combined cost of these projects, spread across different States/UTs, is more than Rs. 1 lakh crore.

Prime Minister stressed that all government officials, both at the Central and State levels, must recognize that project delays not only escalate costs but also hinder the public from receiving the intended benefits.

During the interaction, Prime Minister also reviewed Public Grievances related to the Banking & Insurance Sector. While Prime Minister noted the reduction in the time taken for disposal, he also emphasized on the quality of disposal of the grievances.

Considering more and more cities are coming up with Metro Projects as one of the preferred public transport systems, Prime Minister advised conducting workshops for experience sharing for cities where projects are under implementation or in the pipeline, to capture the best practices and learnings from experiences.

During the review, Prime Minister stressed on the importance of timely Rehabilitation and Resettlement of Project Affected Families during implementation of projects. He further asked to ensure ease of living for such families by providing quality amenities at the new place.

PM also reviewed PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. He directed to enhance the capacity of installations of Rooftops in the States/UTs by developing a quality vendor ecosystem. He further directed to reduce the time required in the process, starting from demand generation to operationalization of rooftop solar. He further directed states to adopt a saturation approach for villages, towns and cities in a phased manner.

Up to the 45th edition of PRAGATI meetings, 363 projects having a total cost of around Rs. 19.12 lakh crore have been reviewed.
