| Published on:

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 19 November, 2021 inaugurated and laid foundation stone of projects worth thousands of corers in Mahoba and Jhansi districts of Bundelkhand in Uttar Pradesh. Targeting previous opposition governments, both at the Centre and the state, the Prime Minister said that the “pariwarwadi” kept farmers in deprivation, whereas the BJP led NDA government worked for their benefit. Shri Modi said, “The opposition never got tired of looting Uttar Pradesh, while we never get tired of working.”

Speaking about the efforts of the present government to work for the betterment of farmers, Shri Modi said, “Some political parties engage farmers in problems… They do politics of problems but we do national politics of finding solutions.”

Invoking the kings of the Bundel, Parihar and Chandel dynasties for setting examples in water conservation, the Prime Minister said that those who ruled in Delhi as well as Uttar Pradesh for a long time uprooted this region one after another.
Alleging that previous governments gave away the region’s forests and resources to mafias, PM Shri Modi said, “Now that a bulldozer is running in UP, some people are raising a hue and cry.” Promising that projects like the Bundelkhand Expressway and the UP Defence Corridor would make the region self-reliant in terms of employment and prevent migration from Bundelkhand. The Prime Minister promised to promote the region under the double engine government at the Centre and the state.
