Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Monday, unveiled a series of development projects valued at over Rs 7,000 crores in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. Following this, he addressed a public gathering in the area.

Before delivering his speech in the election-bound state of Rajasthan, PM Modi visited and paid his respects at the Sanwaliya Seth Temple in Chittorgarh. Accompanying him was the state's BJP president, CP Joshi, who also serves as the Lok Sabha MP for Chittorgarh. At the temple, Modi extended greetings to the priests.

According to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), later in the day, PM Modi is set to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for development projects worth Rs 19,260 crore in Madhya Pradesh.

In Chittorgarh, PM Modi will inaugurate the Mehsana-Bathinda-Gurdaspur gas pipeline, constructed at a cost of Rs 4,500 crore, further promoting a gas-based economy. He will also inaugurate Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited's (HPCL) LPG plant in Abu Road. This plant is designed to bottle and distribute 86 lakh cylinders annually, which will lead to a significant reduction in the number of trucks required for transportation, potentially saving around 0.75 million kilometers of travel each year and reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 0.5 million tons annually.

Additionally, PM Modi will inaugurate a four-lane road on NH-12 (new NH-52) along the Darah-Jhalawar-Teendhar section, a project valued at more than Rs 1,480 crore. This road will facilitate the transportation of minerals from Kota and Jhalawar districts, improving trade efficiency.
