“We are working to improve the drinking water facility of Agra. The inner ring road project is nearing completion as the district administration has acquired land with the cooperation of farmers. Although construction of ROB would take some time, bridges on the Yamuna would be completed in time,” he said.
“The work on Express Way connecting Agra with Lucknow is progressing fast and now ‘mandis’ are coming up alongside the Express Way. Besides connecting Etawah, Kannauj and other cities, the Express Way would also lead to growth in villages,” he said.

Asked as to when the elections would take place, the CM said SP workers were ready for polls , whenever they might be held. “We anticipate that we will be able to complete the projects before going for elections,” he said.
