Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public gathering in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, where he expressed his enthusiasm for the city’s vibrant atmosphere and acknowledged its significance as a hub of talent, trade, and tradition. Emphasizing the crucial role of Chennai in India’s journey towards development, PM Modi reiterated his commitment to building a prosperous Tamil Nadu as an integral part of his vision for a developed India.
He said, “Modi has taken a resolution for a developed Tamil Nadu along with a developed India. We have to soon make India one of the top three economies in the world. Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, has a major role to play in this. The Indian government is continuously working to develop cities like Chennai.”
He emphasized the BJP-led central government’s commitment to serving the interests of the people, citing examples of assistance provided during the COVID-19 pandemic and support extended to the MSME sector in Tamil Nadu. “The BJP-led central government is sensitive and is a government that cares for the poor. During the Corona pandemic, we first worried about the poor by providing free rations. When the country developed its vaccine, we decided that every person should get the vaccine for free. Tamil Nadu is the leading state in the MSME sector. To ensure that our MSMEs do not suffer losses, our government has also provided thousands of crores of rupees in credit to lakhs of MSMEs in Tamil Nadu,” said the Prime Minister.
PM Modi also highlighted the direct transfer of funds to beneficiaries in Tamil Nadu under various government schemes, emphasizing the BJP’s dedication to transparent and accountable governance. He said, “The government of India has also started the PM Surya Ghar, Free Electricity Scheme, which will provide free electricity to 1 crore families. Many such projects related to electricity will make India self-reliant in the electricity sector, and Tamil Nadu will play a significant role in this.”
Furthermore, PM Modi celebrated India’s achievements in the energy sector, particularly the milestone achieved at the Kalpakkam Nuclear Energy Center, symbolizing the country’s progress towards energy security and self-reliance. He outlined several recent inaugurations and projects aimed at strengthening India’s power infrastructure across different states, including Tamil Nadu.
