PM Modi writes open letter to Madhya Pradesh voters praises 'double-engine' government

In an open letter to the people of Madhya Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised the numerous public welfare and development programmes of the state’s “double-engine government” and expressed confidence in their support for the party in the upcoming elections on November 17.

“I have full confidence that you will extend your support to me in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections and this time we will form a double-engine government,” PM Modi wrote in his letter.

He claimed that every time he travels to Madhya Pradesh, he experiences the enormous love and vigour of the locals.

“The progress that Madhya Pradesh has made is a matter of great joy for us. In the last 20 years, Madhya Pradesh has transformed from a sick state to a strong, prosperous, and self-reliant one,” PM Modi wrote.

PM Modi claimed that Madhya Pradesh has advanced significantly in all areas under the direction of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

“Who can forget the times before 2003 when the state lacked basic amenities? In these 20 years, under the leadership of Chief Minister Chouhan, significant developments have taken place, with the construction of over a lakh kilometres of roads, over 16% economic growth, water connections to more than a lakh homes, and the generation of 28,000 megawatts of energy,” PM Modi stated further in his letter.

With an emphasis on the care of the underprivileged, women’s empowerment, and holistic development, he continued, the development model of the state governed by the BJP has become a benchmark for the entire nation.

“The BJP government has implemented schemes for every section of society, which have brought more than 1.36 crore people above the poverty line in Madhya Pradesh. We have worked towards the dedication of sisters and the realization of Lalit Lakshyam. The current well-being of Madhya Pradesh’s farmers and youth is due to the proactive welfare schemes, and they are witnessing a brighter future,” PM Modi added in his letter.

Prior to 2014, he claimed, Madhya Pradesh had a number of developmental obstacles to overcome because to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) led by the Congress holding power at the national level.

“We have not only given a bright future to Madhya Pradesh but also preserved its glorious history. It is your tireless efforts and the double-engine government that have led Madhya Pradesh to become one of India’s top three economies,” PM Modi said.

“I have always had a special connection with Madhya Pradesh, and due to this, you showered boundless love on me and secured an unprecedented victory for the BJP in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections. I am confident that in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, you will extend your unwavering support to me, and with your trust in the BJP, we will form a double-engine government once again. Wishing you a prosperous future,” he added.

On December 3, the ballots for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly and four other states with upcoming elections will be counted.
