We changed our approach in 8 years

There is so much positivity in the world about India because today everyone feels that India is utilizing its potential very well. Today India is full of unprecedented confidence. We have seen that era when the money for the welfare of the poor used to go into corruption. There was no sensitivity regarding the tax received from tax payers. Crores of citizens had to bear its loss.

In the last 8 years, we have changed this approach. Today India is spending on its physical and social infrastructure keeping in mind the futuristic thinking and modern outlook.

Project worth about Rs 12,600 crore

Metro Line 2A connecting Dahisar E and DN Nagar (Yellow Line) is approximately 18.6 km long, while Metro Line 7 connecting Andheri E - Dahisar E (Red Line) is approximately 16.5 km long. The foundation stone of these lines was also laid by the Prime Minister in 2015. The project cost of both the lines is around Rs 12,600 crore.

The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for 7 sewage treatment plants, road concreting project and redevelopment of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of 65.5 kilometer stretch of National Highway-150C. This six-lane greenfield road project is a part of the Surat-Chennai Expressway.
