Sunday’s visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned Puducherry into a hub of jubilation. Unveiling projects valued at Rs 2,700 crore—including key infrastructure and the NIT in Karaikal—the event underscored Delhi’s massive investment in the union territory.
Residents didn’t hold back their praise. ‘Enthusiasm is at fever pitch,’ declared one attendee. ‘These initiatives guarantee our support for development-oriented politics in the elections. NDA has our vote.’
Agricultural focus drew special applause. ‘PM’s farmer-friendly budget of Rs 1.62 lakh crore sets the tone, and today’s pledges reinforce it,’ said a local agriculturist.
The prime minister’s address painted a vivid picture of progress. One supporter gushed, ‘Meeting Modi is fortunate indeed. He’s hope incarnate, with a crystal-clear roadmap for India’s tomorrow.’ Political contrasts were stark: ‘Modi outdid Congress-DMK’s legacy in mere years.’
Mannargudi Ramarajer Jiyar offered blessings, hailing Modi’s contributions to Hindu welfare and national good. Music maestro Gangaey Amaran celebrated comprehensive plans boosting spirituality, tourism, and more, thanks to BJP’s effective double-engine setup.
PM Modi emphasized seamless urban-rural connectivity. As polls loom, this visit cements development as Puducherry’s electoral cornerstone, fostering unbreakable public-center synergy.
