PM Modi Launches Projects Worth Rs 6,100 Crore In Telangana

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for various infrastructure development projects worth ₹6,100 crore in Warangal, Telangana. The projects encompass multiple sectors, including highways and railways, and are expected to benefit the people of Telangana.

Before the foundation stone laying events, PM Modi will visit the Bhadrakali temple in Warangal. He is also set to address a public meeting in the district. However, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao is likely to skip the Prime Minister's program.

The visit of PM Modi is in line with the commitment made by the BJP government to inaugurate three National Highways and lay the foundation stone for a wagon manufacturing unit in Warangal. The wagon manufacturing unit, for which the budget has already been allocated, is expected to create job opportunities for over 3,000 people and boost industrial development in the region, as per a report in The Times Of India.

The BJP spokesperson emphasized that the project faced delays due to land and legal issues, but those challenges have been resolved, and the project will be completed soon. The public meeting organized by Telangana BJP aims to showcase the developmental and welfare activities undertaken by the Modi government and convey the government's commitment to the state's development and fulfillment of bifurcation promises.

After his visit to Warangal, PM Modi will travel to Bikaner in Rajasthan to dedicate and lay the foundation stone for development projects worth over ₹24,300 crore. These projects include a six-lane greenfield expressway section, the Amritsar-Jamnagar Economic Corridor, and the phase-I of the Inter-State Transmission Line for Green Energy Corridor. Additionally, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Bikaner Railway station.

PM Modi's tour includes visits to Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, and Rajasthan, with elections scheduled in all states except Uttar Pradesh later this year.
