UP polls coming, PM Modi set to unveil projects worth Rs 1 lakh crore
With Assembly election campaigning set to hit top gear, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to either launch or inaugurate state and Central projects worth over Rs 1-lakh crore in the next one-and-a-half months in Uttar Pradesh.
Among the projects that Modi will launch or unveil are the Purvanchal Expressway, the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor project, the Ganga Expressway, the Jewar International Airport, a film city project, a manufacturing unit in the Jhansi node of a proposed defence corridor, and an All India Institue of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Gorakhpur.
The PM would inaugurate the Rs 42,000 crore Purvanchal Expressway on November 16, said a government spokesperson. He had laid its foundation stone in July 2018, about a year after the Yogi Adityanath government came to power.
