HARYANA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said Jind has become a symbol of the BJP-NDA government’s model of good governance, asserting that Haryana has embarked on a new path of development over the past few years.
Addressing the gathering in Jind after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone for multiple development projects, the Prime Minister said the day’s programme had injected fresh momentum into the BJP government’s development agenda.
“Today, Jind is becoming a picture of the BJP-NDA’s model of good governance. Over the past few years, the entire state of Haryana has embarked on a new path of development. Today’s programme is infusing new energy into this mission of the BJP’s ‘double engine’ government,” Modi said.
Highlighting the flagging off of India’s first hydrogen-powered train between Jind and Sonipat, the Prime Minister said the occasion had secured a place in the country’s history.
“Today, the name of Jind and Haryana has been etched into the pages of history; from here, the country has received its first hydrogen train. You may remember, friends, that even today we read and hear that the first train in India ran between Bombay and Thane. Similarly, in the future, whenever the hydrogen train is mentioned, the name of Jind, Sonipat, and Haryana will inevitably be remembered,” he said.
Recalling his association with the region, Modi said his visit to Jind brought back memories from the early days of his organisational work.
“For me, coming to Jind is like opening a window to old memories. Several decades ago, I first came to Jind for organisational work, and the affection and love you all gave me then is something I have not forgotten to this day,” the Prime Minister said.
