Double engine govt working with double speed for development of UP, says PM Modi

Kanpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the “double engine” government at the Centre and Uttar Pradesh are working with double speed, without wasting any time for the development of the State. Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Kanpur Metro Rail Project alongside the Bina-Panki Multiproduct Pipeline Project, the prime minister said, “Today is Tuesday and with the blessings of Hanuman Ji, another golden chapter is being added to the development of UP. Today Kanpur has got metro connectivity and connected to Bina Refinery.” “Today, Kanpur has finally got its own metro service. I travelled via the metro and it was truly a memorable experience for me. I congratulate the people of Kanpur on achieving this feat,” said Modi. He further said that the previous government in Uttar Pradesh did not work towards the development of the region and wasted so many years. But now, we are not wasting a single minute and will take the State to great heights. “The double engine government that is running in Uttar Pradesh today is trying to make up for the loss of time in the past. We are working at double speed,” said Modi. The completed 9 km long section of Kanpur Metro Rail Project stretches from IIT Kanpur to Moti Jheel. The entire length of the Kanpur Metro Rail Project is 32 km and is being built at a cost of over Rs 11,000 crore. Kanpur Metro is going to be the fastest built metro project in the country.
