DINDIGUL: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving sleepless nights to black money hoarders and the corrupt while his government is pursuing development agenda keeping the common man in mind, senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tamil Nadu, have said.
Demonetisation, digital transformation, GST, Smart Cities to improve urban infrastructure, roads and highways, LPG cylinders for the poor and housing for all besides a focused foreign policy that made the world look at India are some of the achievements of the Modi-led NDA government at the Centre in the last three years, they explained.

“Some political parties and leaders are asking what Modi did for Tamil Nadu. Are they not aware that our Prime Minister gave smart cities to Tamil Nadu with central funds? After Uttar Pradesh, it is our Tamil Nadu which got more smart cities,” Dr.Tamilisai said.
She lashed out at critics for not bothering about civic amenities and underground drainage facilities when they were in power for decades together. Dr.Tamilisai pointed out that seven lakh people in Tamil Nadu gave up their LPG gas cylinder subsidy by responding to the Prime Minister’s call.

That decision is giving sleepless nights for those who escaped till now,” he added.
