PM Modi to launch projects worth Rs 21,500 cr in poll-bound Telangana
This announcement was made by Union minister G Kishan, who is also the Telangana BJP president
While touring poll-bound Telangana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to launch projects worth ₹21,566 crore.
This announcement was made by Union minister G Kishan, who is also the Telangana BJP president, on Friday (September 29) at a press conference. He said that PM Modi will inaugurate or lay the foundation stones for various projects worth ₹21,566 crore during his tour to Mahabubnagar and Nizamabad in Telangana on October 1 and 3.
On his Mahabubnagar trip, Modi will launch projects worth ₹13,545 crore, while in Nizamabad he would either launch or inaugurate projects of ₹8,021 crore, said Reddy.
Modi will address public meetings in both places after launching the projects.
Speaking about various infrastructure projects, Reddy said the Centre has spent ₹9 lakh crore in the past nine years on them after Modi became PM.
Attack on the BRS government
He alleged that due to the laxity of the ruling BRS government in Telangana, some of the projects could not take off as the state did not hand over the required land.
Attacking the BRS, the BJP leader said it is ridiculous that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s government, which did not have a women minister in its previous stint, is now talking about the Women’s Reservation Bill.
He dismissed the allegations of BRS leaders that the Centre would fix meters on agriculture pump sets and said the Union power minister had earlier clarified that there was no such move.
Meanwhile, Telangana chief secretary Santi Kumari on Friday held a review meeting with senior officials on PM Modi’s visit to Nizamabad on October 3. Modi will be virtually inaugurating an 800 megawatt power project built by NTPC on that day, an official release said.
