PM Modi’s mega tour from Bengal to Assam, election message with projects worth thousands of crores

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is today on a tour of West Bengal and Assam, where he will gift development projects worth thousands of crores of rupees. This tour is considered important not only from the infrastructure point of view, but is also special from the political point of view, because before the proposed elections in West Bengal next year, BJP seems to be entering the field with full strength. This rally of PM Modi is being considered to give many signals amid Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee intensifying attacks on the Center over the SIR (Special Intensive Revision) issue in Bengal.

Bengal will get a gift of Rs 3200 crore

Prime Minister Modi will reach Ranaghat in Nadia district of West Bengal at around 11:15 am. Here he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of two National Highway projects worth about Rs 3,200 crore. During this time, PM Modi will also address a public meeting, in which he can mention the schemes and development works of the Central Government as well as give a statement on the politics of the state.

Under these projects, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the 66.7 km long four-lane road on the Barajaguli-Krishnanagar section of National Highway-34 in Nadia district. Apart from this, the foundation stone of 17.6 km long four-lane road will also be laid on Barasat-Barajaguli section in North 24 Parganas district. Both these projects will further strengthen the connectivity between Kolkata and Siliguri.

According to government information, these national highway projects will reduce travel time by about two hours. Besides, traffic will be easier, movement of vehicles will be faster and operating costs will also reduce. Better road connectivity will strengthen connectivity with many districts of West Bengal as well as neighboring states and countries. Apart from this, these projects are also expected to boost the regional economy and promote tourism.

After the program in West Bengal, Prime Minister Modi will visit Assam. In Assam, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of development projects worth about Rs 15,600 crore. In Guwahati, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the new terminal building of Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.
