"To fulfil the wishes of poor, backwards, adivasis, is our motive. Fast development, continuous development. Following this mantra, today a flight from Haryana to Ayodhya Dham has begun. That means now the holy land of Shri Krishna, Haryana is directly connected to the city of Lord Ram. Very soon flights will start from here to other cities also. Today, the foundation stone of the new terminal building of Hisar airport has also been laid. This is the beginning of the flight to take Haryana's aspirations to a new height," PM Modi said.
PM Modi also recalled his time working for the party in Haryana, adding, "I have many memories from Haryana and Hisar. When BJP gave me the responsibility of Haryana, I worked with many colleagues here for a long time. The hard work of all these colleagues has strengthened the foundation of Bharatiya Janata Party in Haryana. Today, I feel proud to see that BJP is working seriously towards Developed Haryana and Developed India."
Babasaheb's birth anniversary today is marked by a public holiday with schools, banks and some public sector organisations remain closed.
