According to a statement released on February 21, building a strong road network across the state is one of the top priorities of the Gujarat government. In this direction, the construction of three sections of the Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway in Gujarat has been completed.

The first section of 31 km from Manubar to Sampa has been constructed at a cost of over ₹2,400 crore. The second section is about 32 km long from Sampa to Padra, constructed at a cost of over ₹3,200 crore, and the third is 23 km long from Padra to Vadodara, constructed at a cost of over ₹4,300 crore.

During his address, PM Modi said: “We have constructed four crore houses for poor people.”

In an attack on the Congress, Modi said that the opposition party has no agenda except abusing him, but this attitude will only strengthen the resolve to win more than 400 seats for the BJP-led NDA in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

“You have seen how Congress people abuse Modi's caste. But Congress people forget that the more abuses they hurl, the stronger will be the resolve to cross 400 (Lok Sabha seats),” he said.
