He said that this project will not only boost investment but will also provide unlimited employment opportunities to the youth. He said that this project will accelerate the development of both Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
Mr. Modi said that during the tenure of Congress lead governments at the Centre, water disputes between states were never resolved, due to which the respective states have suffered a lot. But the BJP government at the Centre emphasizes on solutions instead of disputes. He said that other states should also learn a lesson from the water agreement between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
Mr Modi said that water conservation is the need of the hour and every citizen of the country should contribute to it. The Prime Minister said that every drop of water should be used to quench the thirst of Mother Earth. He said that a large number of rainwater harvesting structures are being built with public participation in many states.
The Prime Minister said that historic work has been done in Rajasthan in the last one year. He said that the double-engine governments of BJP are becoming a symbol of good governance in the country. He said that whatever resolution the BJP takes, it fulfills it honestly.
This is the reason why BJP is getting public support in one state after another. He said that the people of the country have given the BJP an opportunity to serve by forming the government at the Centre for the third consecutive time after 60 years.
Governor of Rajasthan Haribhau Bagde, State Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Mohan Lal Yadav, Union Minister of Jal shakti C.R. Patil were also present in the program.
