Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana-III in Himachal Pradesh to upgrade 3,125 km of rural roads, saying the government wants to build roads in every village of the state.
So far, the double-engine government of the BJP has built 12,000 km of rural roads in eight years in Himachal Pradesh, he said at a rally in Chamba.
The prime minister targeted previous governments at the Centre, saying former chief ministers PK Dhumal and Shanta Kumar used to make rounds of Delhi to get even small projects sanctioned. Now, he added, the Himachal Pradesh chief minister comes to Delhi to inform about the completion of projects.
