The HinduPrime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that hundreds of small cities would play a key role in strengthening the grand edifice of a developed India. After interacting with beneficiaries of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra via video conferencing, Mr. Modi said the cities had a huge role to play in the determination of a developed India. Addressing the gathering, Mr. Modi said “Modi ki guarantee” vehicles were now reaching all parts of the country, and had so far covered thousands of villages and about 1,500 cities, including smaller cities and towns. “Government is committed to saving money for urban families, be it exemption in income tax or low-cost treatment,” Mr. Modi said, adding that crores of urban poor had been covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, and it had helped them save ₹1 lakh crore on medical expenses. “The work that has been done for modern public transport in the last 10 years is incomparable,” Mr. Modi said, adding that 15 new cities had received metro services in the past decade, and work on metro networks was either complete or underway in 27 cities.
