Modi launches new projects in poll-bound Gujarat, bats for private sector participation in India’s space projects
Welfare of people is the topmost priority of the government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Gujarat on Friday.
Mr. Modi either inaugurated or laid the foundation stone for a slew of development projects worth ₹3,050 crore in the poll-bound State. He said in past eight years, his government had worked relentlessly for the welfare of people of the country and therefore people had elected him.
“We don’t work to win elections. We work for people who elect us. For us, being in power means to serve people,” he said, adding that development and welfare were the only priority for his government.
“The rapid development in the State during the past two decades is the pride of Gujarat. In the past eight years, following the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, our government has put utmost emphasis on the welfare of people of the State,” Mr. Modi said in Navsari.
On his fourth trip since March to his home State, where Assembly election is due to be held in December, Mr. Modi is visiting tribal areas of south Gujarat to inaugurate water supply projects, a power transmission line and a sewage treatment plant.
This is Mr. Modi’s second tribal outreach in the State. Earlier, he held a tribal convention and rally at Dahod in central Gujarat.
On Friday, he was given a rousing welcome by tribals.
