This is all bullshit. Nothing is going to happen. another fancy project to keep people attracted. I come from pro-BJP family, but I don't like when people make too much projects and do nothing. They should really do something and not only make projects.

 

[aumnamonarayan]

I would be happy if first issues like poor education infrastructure in govt. schools, malnutrition, poverty, farmer suicides, police reforms, better medical facilities for common specially poor people r paid heed to. Otherwise big people will only be happy and common people will still face many issues
