Odisha to get maximum Rs 1 lakh crore projects: Ashwini Vaishnav

Mootv Odisha / Bhubaneswar :

Central Railway, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnab expressed gratitude to the people of the state and promised about the future of railway development at the BJP’s Vijay Samvardhana meeting held in the capital Bhubaneswar. He said, State President Manmohan Samal’s efforts for the victory of the party in the state are really commendable. Along with this, the cooperation and love and respect of Odisha people is also valuable. Union Railway, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnab further said, ‘In less than 10 years Odisha was given only 800 crore rupees, which is very insignificant for any development work. Earlier Odisha was neglected. But Odisha is given a lot of importance during the rule of the Modi government. Within 10 years, Modi quadrupled the fund, emphasizing Odisha’s responsibility. Odisha receives more than Rs 10,000 crore in grants every year. There is development in the railway sector.

Now a grant of Rs 10,536 crore has been received for the development of railways in Odisha. The new railway line that has been built in Odisha in the last 10 years is a record. 1826 km of new railway line has been constructed. To say that the number of railway lines built in Odisha is more than the total number of railway tracks in Sri Lanka. The railway network in the whole of Sri Lanka is 1700 km, while in Odisha, longer railway lines have been built. This is the greatest achievement’. Railways will be further developed in Odisha during the double engine government. Because earlier there was a huge problem in getting land for the construction of the track, so the work was delayed. Now, with the government of Mohan Charan Majhi, the railways in the state will continue to develop more vigorously. In the next 5 years, with the help of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Odisha will receive a maximum of 1 lakh crore projects, Odisha will make a record and make history. In addition, 315 special trains will run from 25 districts of devotees to the shrine for the journey. Less than 10 years ago, there were 89 trains running to Puri, now it has reached 315. Later, Minister Ashwini Vaishnav highlighted the opportunities given to the youth in the field of electronics and IT. He said, ‘A huge electronics manufacturing cluster will be built in Odisha. The Modi government has already sanctioned funds for this. This will provide employment opportunities to the youth of the state. Ashwini concluded his speech by saying that the BJP will serve Odisha for the next 50 years with its dedication.
