Hailing the development in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday resolved to provide better facilities for every region, every family, and every youngster. He laid the foundation stone for projects worth Rs 3,880 crore in Uttar Pradesh, which he said, would prove to be a milestone towards a ‘Viksit Purvanchal’.
“In the last 10 years, the development in Varanasi has picked up a new speed… Kashi is now at the centre of Purvanchal’s economic map. Many infrastructure projects will boost connectivity, providing ‘nal see jal’ to every household, education, healthcare, and expansion of sports facilities,” he said while addressing a public rally in Varanasi.
