In 100 days, over 3000 villages electrified: Modi

“India is not going to progress from Delhi, ” Modi said while delivering the inaugural address at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit. It has to be seen in the global context and the conditions of the past. Where were we, what conditions we were in.

Modi said that the government has been able to plug the leakage in kerosene. “The credit does not go to PM Modi but to all the parties”, Modi said while speaking at a function in the national capital. He also spoke of the government’s steps towards linking ports to rail and the port sector having its own rail department. I thank them for their support.

He made a special mention of Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, and said how these states, which never usually discussed, have done well in the “Ease of Doing Business” rankings. The whole effort was turned into a bit of a fiasco by the Press Information Bureau, which crudely altered the picture of the Prime Minister, to show the flooded city below. “Change their work culture”, Modi said in a speech in Hindi, at a media event in the country’s capital.

Talking about MoUs signed by the Centre with 100 cities for promotion of LED lights, he said it will result in saving 21,500 MW of power.

He also added that eastern India will soon be linked with a gas grid.

Modi said people can know the exact status about the progress of electrifying these 18,000 villages through a mobile application. “This has changed and now CMs decide where money will be spent”, added the PM. If you get embroiled in a controversy, be ready to face the consequences.
