UP double-engine govt works even in pandemic: PM

December 07, 2021 14:17

PM Narendra Modi in Gorakhpur to inaugurate a fertilizer plant and an AIIMS ahead of the UP polls:

"Beginning of a fertiliser plant and AIIMS in Gorakhpur is sending out several messages. When there is a double engine govt, then work takes place in double speed. When work is done with honest intentions, then even calamities can't become obstacles.

"When there is a government that worries about the oppressed and deprived sections, then it works hard and even yields results. The program in Gorakhpur today is a proof of the fact the nothing is impossible for new India when it becomes determined," Modi said.

"Everybody knew the importance of the Gorakhpur fertiliser plant for farmers and employment here. But pervious governments showed no interest in starting it. Everyone knew that an AIIMS Gorakhpur has been a long pending demand but the governments before 2017 made excuses in allotting land for it.

"These people can never understand that even during Corona crisis, the double engine govt continued with development, it didn't let the work stop."
