Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 16 cautioned against the culture of distributing freebies for votes. Speaking at the inauguration of Bundelkhand Expressway in Jalaun in Uttar Pradesh, Mr. Modi said the “ revri culture” would take the new India towards darkness.
“There are some governments which are indulging in revri culture to secure votes, while the double engine government is working towards creating new expressways and rail routes,” Mr. Modi said.
The PM described infrastructure development in backward areas as a form of social justice as industrial development and connectivity should not remain a priority only for big cities. “When the double engine government creates expressways, power projects, provides gas, toilets and pucca houses in the backward areas like Bundelkhand, it leads to true social justice,” he said.
