Modi said the Swachh Bharat cleanliness campaign has given a boost to influx of foreign tourists in India. “For many years after Independence, we did not do anything which could attract foreign tourists. We repeatedly spoke of things our ancestors had created, like Taj Mahal and Sun Temple of Konark,” the PM said. Smart City: As part of the Smart City project, Rs 23,000 crore will be spent on development of seven cities in Madhya Pradesh including Indore over five years, he said.
“Let the naamdar (Rahul) write down on a piece of paper how many zeroes are there in Rs 23,000 crore. He will get confused,” he said. On Congress leader Digvijay Singh’s remark that “his party loses votes if he campaigns”, Modi said it was the Congress’s decision to keep the former CM away from canvassing so that it can hide “sins” of 55-year rule. “If he (Digvijay) campaigns, people will remember the poor infrastructure like road, power during his rule in the state,” Modi said.
Sanitation facilities have reached 92 per cent of people from 34 per cent in 2014, Modi said, adding, “Achieving this would have taken 12 generations (of Gandhi family).” He also said though BJP is in power in the state for 15 years, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan effectively got only four-and-a-half years to work as the UPA government was biased against BJP-ruled states. “There was a remote controlled government run by ‘madam’ in New Delhi….they stopped the works of BJP governments. I was Gujarat CM, when the work of Sardar Sarovar Dam was stopped, farmers started facing problems, and their crops started drying up. I had to start agitating, I spent ten years fighting Delhi,” he said.
