Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to be a busy man these days; he is busy inaugurating metro stretches, flyovers and sewage plants. On Monday, November 19, Modi is scheduled to flag off a 3.2 kilometre section of Violet Line on the Delhi Metro route through a remote control, open the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway and lay the foundation of the country’s first Sri Vishwakarma Skill Development University in Palwal district through remote control. One can only wonder how a foundation stone can be laid through a remote control.
And, now the Opposition has claimed that the "incomplete" expressway in Haryana was inaugurated for quick publicity. In fact, it has been alleged that engineers have not tested the KMP Expressway, the third party consultant has refused to give 'completion certificate' and even HSIIDC (Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation) refused to take responsibility for any mishap.
In fact, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted, “Are you risking commuter lives only for quick publicity in the middle of elections and to benefit the private operator by ₹26 crore a month. Modiji, you should cancel the inauguration, order an enquiry and get the KMP completed.”
All of this is, of course, to increase his visibility just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, knowing fully well that the citizens of the country will seek his report card for the last five years.
In fact, the Prime Minister’s Office had in July, according to a report in Economic Times, asked all ministries to provide state-wise details of all projects that will be ready for either inauguration or laying foundation stones within the next six months.
Here is an edited list of infrastructure projects that the Prime Minister Modi had inaugurated in the last few months. It is far from exhaustive:
