Goa CM seeks Modi vote for developed India

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Thursday said Prime Minister Modi should be given a third term to achieve the goal of 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India), after having launched several development and welfare initiatives. “The development that Modi ji is doing, the development of 'Nari Shakti', 'Yuva Shakti', 'Kisan Shakti' and 'Garib Kalyan' to realise the dream of 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India) -- Modi ji does not see any caste and religion in development,” he said at a rally in Medak in support of party candidate M. Raghunandan Rao, who filed his nomination



papers.

Sawant spoke about the welfare of women, youth and farmers which, he said, had a special focus in BJP's manifesto. “It was Modi who gave 33 per cent reservation to women (yet to be implemented) and also implemented welfare measures such as the construction of toilets, housing for poor, supply of electricity and supply of water under 'Har Ghar Jal' scheme,” he said. Referring to the NDA government's schemes for youth, including Mudra loans and Start-up India, he said Modi should be made PM for a third term to ensure the development of the schemes.
