PM Modi accuses AAP of "creating hostilities" between Delhi and Haryana during their tenure - World News Network

New Delhi [India], August 17 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of “creating hostilities” between the people of Haryana and Delhi during their tenure.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of two national highway projects in Delhi, the Prime Minister expressed gratitude to the people for electing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan and said that Delhi-NCR has been “freed from such negative politics” of the Opposition.
“However, there are some political parties that are still unable to digest the people’s blessings. They have become completely disconnected from the people’s trust and ground realities. You may recall that a few months ago, efforts were made to create hostility between the people of Delhi and Haryana, pitting them against each other. It was even said that the people of Haryana were poisoning Delhi’s water. Today, Delhi and the entire NCR have been freed from such negative politics,” PM Modi said.
Lashing out at the previous Congress government in Haryana, the Prime Minister alleged that every job appointment was influenced by corruption in the state.
“There was a time in Haryana, during the Congress governments, when it was difficult to get even a single appointment without spending money or using influence. But in Haryana, the BJP government has given lakhs of youth government jobs with complete transparency. Under the leadership of Nayab Singh Saini ji, this process is continuing…” he said.
The Prime Minister inaugurated two major national highway projects, the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II). The projects are worth a combined cost of nearly Rs 11,000 crore.
The 10.1 km long Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs 5,360 crore. The section will also provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the Delhi Metro Blue Line and Orange Line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka cluster bus depot. This section comprises:
Package I: 5.9 km from Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21.
Package II: 4.2 km from Dwarka Sector-21 RUB to the Delhi-Haryana Border, providing direct connectivity to Urban Extension Road-II.
The 19 km-long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway was earlier inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024.
Prime Minister inaugurated the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs 5,580 crore. It will ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new spurs will give direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, improve industrial connectivity, cut city traffic, and speed up goods movement in the National Capital Region. (ANI)
