Jabalpur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday will inaugurate and lay the foundation stones of a slew of projects, including rail and road works and a memorial dedicated to Rani Durgavati, worth Rs 12,600 crore in BJP-governed Madhya Pradesh, where assembly polls are likely to be held next month. To be built at a cost of about Rs 100 crore in Jabalpur, the ‘Veerangana Rani Durgavati Smarak aur Udyaan’ will be spread over nearly 21 acres. It will showcase an impressive 52-foot-tall bronze statue of the Gond queen, an official said.
