Several genuine demands of the Tamils that had remained only dreams for decades under the United Progressive Alliance’s (UPA) rule at the Centre, have started to becoming a reality over the past 10 years under the present Central government: various development projects worth thousands of crores have been sanctioned in Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
Addressing a meeting held at the VOC (V.O. Chidambaranar) Port in Thoothukudi on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, after laying the foundation stone for new schemes and dedicating to the nation, completed projects worth about ₹17,300 crore, Mr. Modi said Tamil Nadu was writing a new chapter of progress in Thoothukudi as multiple development projects were being launched.
One could witness the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ (One India, Developed India) in the development projects of today, Mr. Modi said, emphasising that even though the projects might be executed in Thoothukudi, they would give momentum to development in multiple places across India.
