We have a habit of choosing and accepting challenges: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/Udaipur/ PM Modi has said that his government believes in completing what it starts, unlike the previous dispensation, and that it is made up of people “from a different kind of mitti (clay)”. Modi e-inaugurated 12 completed national highway (NH) projects in Rajasthan worth Rs 5,610 crore and conducted e-Bhumi Poojan for 11 other NH projects amounting to Rs 9,490 crore in Udaipur.

The Prime Minister said: “Agar koi dheela-dhaala insaan hota, toh shayad usko (economy) dekhte hi dar jaata, lekin hum zara alag mitti ke bane huay hain (a weak person would perhaps have been intimidated, but we are made from a different kind of clay) — we have a habit of choosing our challenges and challenging our challenges.”

He said the biggest challenge before the government today is putting an end to the “games” of announcing sops around election time, and instead ensure that they are completed. “Announcing schemes, making all sorts of promises (and) grabbing big headlines during elections…the country has closely seen these games for years,” he said. “The biggest challenge before us today is to put an end to these old evils. Itni taakat lagti hai, itni taakat lagti hai, jiski aap kalpana nahi kar sakte (you cannot imagine how much strength is required to put that into effect).” Rajasthan goes to the polls later next year.
