Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that the nation and women in West Bengal will not forgive the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for insulting President Draupadi Murmu; the people will teach them a lesson.
The PM was speaking at a public rally in New Delhi. He further stated that what happened in West Bengal was an insult not to the President but to the Constitution. He said that a person filled with arrogance, no matter how powerful, ultimately perishes.
On Saturday, the President expressed his displeasure over the relocation of an event in West Bengal. He stated that neither the Chief Minister nor any minister came to receive him during his visit to North Bengal. The BJP called this an insult to the President.
Earlier on Sunday, the PM inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for projects worth ₹33,500 crore in Delhi. He inaugurated 2,722 newly constructed flats under the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) redevelopment plan. He also inaugurated two new metro corridors and laid the foundation stone for three corridors.
3 key points from the PM's speech...
The AAP government's approach was to do less work and make more excuses. Previously, many projects in Delhi remained stuck in files, but now projects are being implemented.
Now the government is addressing Delhi's problems in a mission mode. The government is also working extensively to clean the Yamuna River.
Women's empowerment is rapidly advancing in India. Women are progressing in every field, including politics, administration, science, sports, and social service.
2 Metro Corridors Inaugurated, 3 More Laid the Foundation Stone
On Sunday, the Prime Minister inaugurated two new corridors of the Delhi Metro and laid the foundation stone for three more metro lines, providing direct connectivity to many important locations in the national capital.
He also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for projects worth ₹15,200 crore under the Central Government's General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) redevelopment plan. The total cost of all the projects is approximately ₹33,500 crore.
The two new Delhi Metro corridors inaugurated by the Prime Minister were the approximately 12.3 km Majlis Park-Maujpur Babarpur (Pink Line) corridor and the approximately 9.9 km Deepali Chowk-Majlis Park (Magenta Line) corridor.
Several areas, including Burari, will benefit
These corridors will benefit several areas of Delhi, including Burari, Jagatpur-Wazirabad, Khajuri Khas, Bhajanpura, Yamuna Vihar, Madhuban Chowk, Haiderpur Badli Mor, Bhalswa, and Majlis Park.
Modi laid the foundation stone for three new corridors under Phase V-A of the Delhi Metro, covering a total route length of approximately 16.1 km. These corridors will provide direct connectivity to several important locations in the capital and improve connectivity for commuters between Noida, South Delhi, and the airport.
The Pink Line becomes the country's first ring metro line.
The Majlis Park-Maujpur-Babarpur corridor has eight elevated stations and is part of the already operational Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar Pink Line. With the addition of this section, the Pink Line has expanded to approximately 71.56 km, making it India's first fully operational 'ring metro'.
The Majlis Park-Maujpur-Babarpur corridor also includes a new bridge over the Yamuna River and a double-decker viaduct, carrying both the metro line and a road flyover.
The total length of the Magenta Line will increase to 49 km.
The corridor from Deepali Chowk to Majlis Park is an extension of the Magenta Line, and upon its opening, the line's total length will reach approximately 49 km. This will better connect many residential and commercial areas with the metro network.
Government Developing 7 Old Government Housing Colonies
The Government of India is redeveloping seven old government housing colonies in Delhi through a new self-financing model, which requires no funding from the public treasury.
The project spans Sarojini Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Naoroji Nagar, Kasturba Nagar, Thyagaraj Nagar, Srinivaspuri, and Mohammadpur, covering approximately 537 acres.
Many of the existing quarters in these colonies had become outdated and unsafe. Approximately 40% were uninhabitable. The redevelopment project aims to address the shortage of over 20,000 houses for central government employees.
