"See how blessed Odisha is. But, the leaders here could not manage what God has given and they ruined things for people: Shri Modi"

A scathing attack on the Congress’ penchant for corruption and its inherent trait of filling its pockets at the cost of people’s progress was made by Shri Narendra Modi during his rallies at Balasore, Keonjhar and Dhenkanal in Odisha, on the morning of 11th April. Shri Modi stated the Odisha government’s indifference towards its people, and urged the Nation to show their support for the BJP to ensure a more responsible and accountable government in Delhi.

Attacking the Congress’ insensitivity, which witnessed them visiting the homes of the poor and getting themselves clicked so as to suggest their empathy towards the poor, Shri Modi said that such tactics would never make them understand the pain of poverty. When elections come, they start taking the names of poor. It’s nothing but a way to win the elections. The way we go to tourist places, there are some people who go to the homes of the poor for tourism and take cameramen too,” said Shri Modi. He affirmed of the BJP’s focus on empowering the underprivileged, and backed it with the proven track record of the Party in serving the ‘Daridra Narayan’.

He also spoke of the lack of foresightedness on the part of the State and Central government in tapping the development potential of Odisha, and went on to further highlight the rampant corruption in the present government, which had ruined the Nation.

Shri Modi condemned the Odisha CM’s indifference towards the people who elected him, and stated how such an approach had prompted the people to bring a change in the government. He urged the people to vote on the Lotus symbol and give the BJP a majority, thus ensuring a bright future for the Nation.

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.
