Jharkhand can become more developed than Gujarat, says PM Narendra Modi

'I am here to return the love you've given me with interest through development'

Ranchi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that Jharkhand has the potential to overtake Gujarat.

The Prime Minister was in the city to inaugurate a power grid and transmission circuit, a gas pipeline project and reinvigorate the NTPC plant.

Here are the highlights:

  • I am here to return the love you've given me with interest through development
  • Jharkhand has the capabilities to be among India's most developed states
  • Jharkhand can be more developed than Gujarat
  • Atal Behari Vajpayee created Jharkhand with a dream that this land with rich natural resources will benefit the nation too
  • Together we have to change things. With several development initiatives we have to take Jharkhand forward
  • Whether it is East or West, North of South, India must have balanced development
  • This transmission line will play an important role in Jharkhand's development
  • We cannot take India forward if we overlook what states want. Our government in Delhi wants to facilitate development in each state
  • Like you get water in your tap, you should be able to get gas on a pipeline - we're working towards that
  • The youth here has potential - we want to prioritise manufacture of electrical goods
  • We will begin work on an Indian Institute of Information Technology in Ranchi
  • Even in an aadivasi-majority area like Jharkhand, mobile phones are playing such an important role
  • For the common man, the government should be in his hands. You can track the government's work from your mobile phones - that is the 'Digital India' dream
  • Objective of Digital India is to bring the government into the hands of every citizen
