NEW DELHI: The first year of the BJP Government in Rajasthan has served as a strong foundation for many more years of development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on December 17 while inaugurating projects worth over Rs 46,300 crore.
PM Modi said the Government led by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has made efforts to strengthen the heritage of good governance in the last one year and taken decisions for the development of the poor families, women, labourers, Vishwakarmas and nomadic tribes.
He noted that the Governments at the Centre and the State were rapidly implementing infrastructure projects on the ground by swiftly fulfilling promises, and Tuesday’s programme was a significant part of this commitment.
The 24 projects inaugurated or whose foundation stone laid on Tuesday were related to Energy, Roads, Railways and Water, including the interlinking of 11 rivers in the state.
PM Modi added that the event not just marked the completion of one year of the Government, but also symbolised the radiating brightness of Rajasthan and a festival of development in the desert state.
Highlighting maladies like paper leaks and employment scams as the legacy of the previous Government, PM Modi said the youth had suffered a lot in the past but now the process of ironing out the issues had been initiated by the incumbent Government.
Lauding CM Sharma and his team for efforts to give a new direction and pace to development works, the PM said the BJP government in Rajasthan had created thousands of job opportunities in the last one year.
