Tribute to the those who lost their lives during Kedarnath flash floods :MODI

Dehradun December 27 : Addressing 'Parivartan Rally' in Dehradun, the PM Modi said Uttarakhand cannot seem to wait any longer for development.

After launching the Char Dham highway development programme in Uttarakhand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on today said the project is a tribute to the those who lost their lives during Kedarnath flash floods.

Commenting on demonetization, Modi said the government is fighting against those who stash black money at home.

"We had said the corrupt will be punished and this is happening too. This is a 'Safai Abhiyaan' and people of India have helped me," he added.

If I were not backed by the countrymen, corrupt people would have attacked me, the PM said.

Hitting out at the Opposition, the PM said previous governments could not even fulfill the basic needs of people. "Gone are those days when the public could be befooled. Politicians should understand that people now know everything."

"I assure you that whenever you will come for Kedarnath, Badrinath yatra", you will remember this government.

He added that the project offers employment opportunities for the people of Uttarakhand.
