Development fast-tracked under double-engine government of BJP: Modi

Taking a dig at the previous UPA government at the Centre and the successive Congress governments in the State, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that development works have been fast-tracked in Karnataka under the ‘’double engine’’ government of the BJP.

Mr. Modi was addressing a public gathering after laying the foundation stone for a new coaching complex and the expansion of Mysuru railway station the, remodelling of the Naganahalli rail yard on the outskirts of the city and inaugurating the Centre for Excellence at the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH).

The Prime Minister said in the last 75 years after independence, the country saw many governments in Karnataka and also at the Centre, and though projects were launched for the welfare of the public and the poor, they were limited in scope, reach and impact. ‘’However, after 2014, the government not only fast-tracked the projects but also the delivery mechanism with focus on the end beneficiaries so that no one was left out and we worked on a mission mode,” said Mr. Modi.
