This ‘Chowkidar’(PM Modi) has worked tirelessly over the last five years to enhance India’s global position on the world stage: PM Modi
UN’s listing of Masood Azhar as a global terrorist shows India’s efforts against terrorism were now being recognised and supported internationally: PM Modi
The track-record of the Congress shows it is not committed on fulfilling its promises, rather it is only interested in gaining political leverage from them: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a massive public meeting, his fourth today, in the Rajasthani capital Jaipur today. PM Modi said, “This ‘Chowkidar’(PM Modi) has worked tirelessly over the last five years to enhance India’s global position on the world stage and our efforts are clearly bearing fruits now.” 

Highlighting how his government has created a remarkably different India as compared to 2014, PM Modi said, “Remember how everybody used to discuss issues like high inflation and its impact on the middle class, frequent terrorist attacks or the rampant corruption scandals, before 2014 when the Congress-led UPA was in power. Look at how everything has changed for the better, not only have we maintained low levels of inflation throughout but have also governed transparently without taints of corruption scandals. As regards to terrorism, the world has seen how India responded very strongly against terrorists and hit the terrorists where it hurts them the most. This is how the ‘New India’ is different from pre-2014 times.” 

 

Prime Minister Modi also expressed satisfaction at the recent news of JeM terrorist, Maulana Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by the United Nations and said that India’s efforts against terrorism were now being recognised and supported internationally. 

Lashing out at the state Congress government for not implementing the promises made to the people, PM Modi asserted that the Congress party is an expert in making false, unrealistic promises that it will never fulfill anyway. They promised farm loan waivers in Rajasthan but that did not happen, they said that the CM would be changed within 10 days but even that is yet to happen. The track-record of the Congress shows it is not committed on fulfilling its promises, rather it is only interested in gaining political leverage out of its unrealistic promises.”

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.
