In times of such crisis, one should avoid saying things that are harmful to the country. Attacking the Samajwadi Party, PM Modi said, 'Earlier the CM was afraid of coming to Noida. The previous rulers were afraid of coming here due to the fear of losing their chair. Noida was left to itself. I was also scared about Noida. But today under the BJP government, the same Noida is becoming a powerful engine of development in UP. This airport of Jewar is a very good example of the working culture of double engine.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, 'Just think, this airport was approved on file by Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government in 2003. But the airport was not built but the Congress at the Center and the previous governments here did not even allow the foundation of this airport to be laid for years. From 2004 to 2014, this airport remained buried in files.

When our government was formed, there was SP government in UP. They did not allow work on it in the first 2-3 years, but as soon as the BJP-NDA government was formed here, the foundation stone of Jewar Airport was laid and construction was also done and now it has also started.
PM Modi further said that airport is not just a common facility in any country. They also give a boost to the country's progress and airport progress. Before 2014, there were only 74 airports in the country, today there are more than 160 airports. Now apart from the metros, air connectivity is also reaching small towns of the country. Earlier governments believed that air travel should be only for the rich, but the BJP government has made air travel easy for ordinary Indians too. PM Modi has yet to build 100 more airports across the country, work on which is going on. The country will develop more rapidly in the times to come.
