Good work is politicised, nation’s misfortune: PM Narendra Modi at tunnel opening
It was the “misfortune” of the country that good work gets mired in politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while inaugurating the much awaited Pragati Maidan tunnel and five underpasses on Sunday.
“Last year, I had the opportunity to inaugurate the Defence Office Complex. Hamare desh ka durbhagya hai ki bahut si achchhi cheezen, achchhe uddeshya se ki gayi cheezen, rajneeti ke rang mein phans jati hai (It is our country’s misfortune that a lot of good things, well-meaning things, get mired in politics),” he said, talking about the two complexes inaugurated last year.
The Pragati Maidan corridor has been built at a cost of more than Rs 920 crore, funded entirely by the central government. It is aimed at providing smooth access to the new exhibition and convention centre being developed at Pragati Maidan.
