The great soil of West Bengal has nurtured extraordinary individuals who have contributed towards national progress. It’s our vision and effort to ensure West Bengal gets top quality development. Tomorrow, I will be in Hooghly to inaugurate various projects.
— Narendra Modi, Prime Minister
NEW DELHI, FEB. 21
With an eye on the coming crucial Assembly polls in West Bengal and Assam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday will launch a number of projects in the poll bound states. Informing about his visits on the social media platform, the PM said “great soil of West Bengal has nurtured extraordinary individuals who have contributed towards national progress” and it is NDA government’s “vision and effort” to ensure that West Bengal gets top quality development.
The BJP and the ruling TMC have been engaged in a high pitch campaign in the state where the former has high hopes of wresting power from Mamata Banerjee headed political outfit. In Assam, where the BJP is trying hard to retain power, the PM asserted that the projects will “bring an era of prosperity for the people of Assam.”
“It is always special to be in Assam. Tomorrow, 22nd February, I will once again have the opportunity to interact with the people of Assam at a public meeting in
Dhemaji. At the programme, various development works will be launched,” tweeted Mr Modi. These projects include INDMAX Unit at Indian Oil’s Bongaigaon Refinery, Oil India Limited's secondary tank farm at Madhuban, Dibrugarh, a gas compressor station at Hebeda Village, Makum, Tinsukia and inauguration of the Dhemaji Engineering College.
“The great soil of West Bengal has nurtured extraordinary individuals who have contributed towards national progress. It’s our vision and effort to ensure West Bengal gets top quality development. Tomorrow, I will be in Hooghly to inaugurate various projects,” tweeted the PM. One of the projects include extension of the Metro Railway from Noapara to Dakshineswar which the PM said “is special because it will improve access to the sacred Maa Kali Temples at Kalighat and Dakshineswar. These temples are vibrant symbols of India’s great culture.”
Meanwhile, Mr Modi on Sunday said that “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas” is the “basic mantra” of the party and its mission is to work for the country and its development.
While addressing the first meeting of the BJP's new set of national office-bearers, he also said that keeping this mantra in mind, the government had done "positive work" and highlighted the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and reforms in the agriculture sector.
Mr Modi asked members of the BJP to strengthen and expand the party with the motto of “nation first” as well as to take part in welfare works going beyond politics.
