PM Modi opens Purvanchal Expressway: ‘Development has replaced mafia, poverty’
Inaugurating the Purvanchal Expressway, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday sounded the poll bugle for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, saying the previous government did “injustice” to the people by “working for only one family”, while the BJP “ushered in an era of unforeseen development”. He also said that there were areas in Uttar Pradesh previously “a hub of mafia and poverty” but the expressway is a testimony to the development the state has witnessed in the recent past.
“When I laid the foundation stone of Purvanchal Expressway three years back, I had never thought that I will land here on an aircraft one day,” said PM Modi.
