“Our Fighter Planes Will Land On Expressway Shortly,” PM Modi Inaugurates Purvanchal Expressway
PM Modi has visions that the Purvanchal expressway will be one more powerful addition for the Indian Air Force in emergency
Mumbai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Purvanchal Expressway at Karwal Kheri in Sultanpur district today.
While addressing people at the event, PM Modi said that while laying the foundation of the expressway, he never thought that aircraft could land here.
“When I laid the foundation stone of Purvanchal Expressway 3 years back, I had never thought that I will land here on an aircraft one day,” PM Narendra Modi in Sultanpur.
Modi has visioned it to be one more powerful addition for the Indian Air Force in an emergency.
“Country’s security is as important as its prosperity. In a short while from now, we will see that how Purvanchal Expressway has now become one more power for the Indian Air Force in cases of emergency. Our fighter plane will land on the expressway shortly,” Modi said.
He added, “The roar of these aircraft will also be for the people who ignored the defence infrastructure of the nation for decades.”
Taking a swipe at the previous ruling parties, he said that the barren piece of land 3-4 years ago, has now changed completely, adding that UP is capable of more than this.
“Those who have any doubt on capabilities of UP, on capabilities of people of UP should come to Sultanpur today to witness their capability. Such a modern expressway has now come up where it was just a piece of land 3-4 years back,” PM in Sultanpur.
Underlining the overall development of the country, he said, “For the all-round development of the country, the balanced development of the country is equally important. Some areas marching ahead in the race of development and some areas lagging decades behind isn’t right for any country.”
The 341 kilometre-long Purvanchal Expressway starts from village Chaudsaral, district Lucknow located on Lucknow-Sultanpur Road (NH-731) and ends at village Hydaria located on National Highway number 31, 18 kilometres east of the Uttar Pradesh-Bihar Border.
Uttar Pradesh goes to assembly elections next year in February.
