Modi to embark on tour across states before Lok Sabha polls
Hindustan TimesAhead of the summer’s parliamentary elections Prime Minister Narendra Modi will, just as he did in 2019, travel around the country, inaugurating or launching infrastructure projects, and speaking about his government’s development and welfare record, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi It may be premature to draw any conclusions from this, but, if the PM’s speech in the Lok Sabha on Monday and his comments during his visit to Goa on Tuesday are any indication, governance could well get precedence over the Ram Temple in the party’s election campaign. The double-engine government of the BJP has made ‘Vikas’ and ‘Virasat’ part of its policy.’’ While the official line is that the Bhartiya Janata Party doesn’t need the Ram Temple to win elections, party insiders HT spoke to said that there was a feeling that it would not attract new voters. And so, they added, when the Prime Minister launches several projects this month including five new All India Institutes of Medical Sciences and one Indian Institute of Management, he is expected to talk more about his guarantees, his government’s welfare schemes and what his vision for India for 2047 is.
