Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a public meeting in Dehgam on Thursday that these elections will decide the fate of Gujarat for the next 25 years.
On the second day of his two-day campaign in Gujarat, PM Modi said, “India has completed 75 years of independence, and our nation is entering the Amrit Kaal, which will be the next 25 years. This is the first election of this Amrit Kaal, which will decide the fate of the state not just for the next five years, but for the next 25 years.” PM Modi stated that we must work in such a way that Gujarat surpasses the standards of the world’s rich countries. PM Modi said, “Earlier there was a time when there was talk of corruption, casteism, nepotism, road, electricity, water, and health issues in elections, but due to the overall development that Gujarat has achieved in the last 20 years, Gujarat has come out of such crises. 20 to 25 years ago, work was done for the development of basic facilities in Gujarat, but today the state is known as a leading state in the country.”
Further, hailing the development of Gujarat, PM Modi said, “Today, 24 hours of electricity are available in Gujarat. Work of Sardar Sarovar Dam, Sujalam Suflam Yojana, and Amrit Sarovar has been done. Village-to-village roads have been improved, and optical fibre has been extended.”
“The education budget in Gujarat which was Rs 1,500 crore, has today increased to Rs 33,000 crore,” he said.
