‘I wish, I too had…’: PM Modi gets teary-eyed during his speech in Maharashtra | India News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday got teary-eyed while speaking about a housing scheme in Maharashtra‘s Solapur.
While addressing a rally at the inauguration of projects under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-Urban) scheme at Solapur, the Prime Minister got emotional and said he too wished he had one such house to live in during his childhood days.
The PMAY-Urban is the central government’s scheme to ensure “pucca houses” for the people, particularly at the lowest strata, in an urban setup.
“Today the country’s largest society is built under PM Awas Yojana has been inaugurated. It was my promise in 2014 and coming back to see it is a fulfilling moment and I thought, I wish I too had gotten a chance to live in such a house in my childhood,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi dedicated more than 90,000 houses completed under PMAY-Urban in Maharashtra and 15,000 houses to Raynagar Housing Society in Solapur.
The beneficiaries of the housing scheme include handloom workers, vendors, power loom workers, rag pickers, bidi workers, and drivers, among others.
“I am happy that the pledge we had taken for the thousands of poor and labourers of Solapur is being fulfilled today. The day I came here to lay the foundation stone of this project, I had given you the guarantee that I would soon come to give the keys to your houses,” said the Prime Minister.
“Today, Modi has fulfilled this guarantee. Remember, Modi’s Guarantee means ‘Guarantee Ke Poora Hone Ki Guarantee’!” he added.
PM Modi highlighted the challenges faced by the poor under previous governments and reiterated his commitment to a government dedicated to the welfare of the poor since 2014.
“Our government, following the ideals of Prabhu Shree Ram, has been ensuring that good governance and honesty exist in the country,” the Prime Minister said.
“For a long time, slogans of ‘Garibi Hatao‘ (eradicate poverty) were raised in the country. But despite these slogans poverty was not eliminated. Schemes were made in the name of the poor, but the poor did not get their benefits,” the Prime Minister said in a veiled attack on the Congress.
