The circle of time has moved, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, noting that the country is not only bringing back its ancient idols from abroad but also getting record foreign investment.

Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone of the Shri Kalki Dham temple here in Uttar Pradesh, he said on one hand places of pilgrimage are being developed and, on the other, cities are getting hi-tech infrastructure.

On PM Modi to launch projects worth ₹10 lakh crore in Uttar Pradesh today, film producer Boney Kapoor says, "This is the biggest groundbreaking ceremony. Uttar Pradesh is getting better and better. UP has developed by leaps and bounds, and I am glad to be a part of it."

"Today, the devotion with which PM bowed to the land of Shri Kalki Dham... I believe that neither in the past nor in the future can there be any other PM like Narendra Modi," Chairman of Shri Kalki Dham Nirman Trust Acharya Pramod Krishnam said.

"During the welcome address, he (Acharya Pramod Krishnam) said that everyone has something to give but I have nothing, I can only express my feelings. Pramod ji, it is good that you did not give me anything, otherwise the times have changed in such a way that if in today's era, Sudama would give rice to Shri Krishna and the video would come out, a PIL would be filed in the Supreme Court and the judgment would come that something was given to Lord Krishna in corruption and Lord Krishna was doing corruption. It is better that you expressed your feelings and did not give anything," PM Modi said.

"Just a few days ago, our government had the privilege of awarding Bharat Ratna to Chaudhary Charan Singh, the messiah of farmers. Honouring Chaudhary Saheb, the son of the soil of Uttar Pradesh, is an honour for crores of farmers and labourers of the country. But unfortunately, the Congress and its allies do not understand this," PM Modi said.

"You must have seen that when (name of) Chaudhary Charan Singh was being discussed in the Parliament, how the Congress people made it difficult to even speak about Chaudhary Saheb. Congress people believe that the members of only one family has the right over Bharat Ratna," the prime minister said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Vijaypur (Samba), Jammu on Tuesday. The establishment of the institute, whose cornerstone was laid by the Prime Minister in February 2019, is underway as part of the Central sector scheme known as Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana.

"I urge everyone, when planning their travel itinerary, to allocate 10 per cent of their budget to purchasing local goods from the area they visit," the prime minister said. "In the coming time, a large number of jobs are going to be created here in the tourism and hospitality sectors," PM Modi said, adding that today every person in the country wants to come to Varanasi and Ayodhya.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that along with pilgrimage sites, hi-tech infrastructure has been also developed across the nation.

While addressing a gathering in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of Shri Kalki Dham, PM Modi said, "Today, on one hand, our pilgrimage sites are being developed, and on the other hand, hi-tech infrastructure is also being created in the cities."

"If temples are being built today, then new medical colleges are also being built across the country," he added.

"Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, today the country is making continuous progress with the sense of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas. No section in society finds itself alone or lagging behind today," Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said. 

"In 2018, during the first Investors Summit, the Prime Minister had said here in Lucknow that UP has values and virtues but in these changing times, value addition is required. Not only in work culture or business culture but UP's strength in every area requires value addition. Today, six years later, I am delighted to say that assimilating these words of the PM, Uttar Pradesh has framed its policies - as a result of which within six years, the fourth edition of this groundbreaking ceremony is being organised," UP CM Yogi Adityanath said. 

"When I speak about 'Viksit Bharat', new thinking and new direction is needed for it. Had we followed the kind of thinking that prevailed in the country for decades after independence, this would not have been possible..." PM Modi said. 

“4-5 days back, I returned after visiting UAE and Qatar. Every country is confident of India's growth story, they are filled with confidence. 'Modi ki guarantee' is discussed a lot in the country. But the entire world is considering India ‘the guarantee of better returns,’” the Indian Prime Minister said. 

"We have often seen that when elections approach, people try to avoid new investments. But India has broken this perception today. Investors across the world trust the stability of government policies. This trust is reflected in Lucknow too," PM Modi added. 

"I am not assessing today's event only in terms of investment. The hope, the hope for better returns I am seeing in all investors has an extensive context. Today, you can go anywhere in the world - unprecedented positivity regarding India is seen," PM Modi said. 

"It has been 7 years since a double-engine government was formed in UP. In the last 7 years, the 'red tape culture' in the state has been ended and a 'red carpet culture' has been brought here. In the last 7 years, crime has reduced in UP and business culture has expanded. In the last 7 years, an environment of business, development and trust has been formed in UP. The double-engine government has shown that if there is a true intention for change, nobody can stop it," the Prime Minister added. 

"We are gathered here with the resolve to build 'Viksit Uttar Pradesh' for 'Viksit Bharat'. I have been told that through technology, lakhs of people from more than 400 Vidhan Sabha seats of UP are connected to this event...7-8 years back, we couldn't even think that there could be such an atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh regarding investment and employment. There used to be news of crime, riots and snatching. At that time, if someone said that UP would be developed, perhaps nobody would have been ready to even hear that...Today, lakhs and crores of rupees of investment are coming into Uttar Pradesh..." PM Modi said. 

Prime Minister Modi launched 14,500 projects valued at over ₹10 lakh crore in Uttar Pradesh. This will take place during the fourth groundbreaking ceremony in Lucknow, marking the implementation of investment proposals garnered from the UP Global Investors Summit 2023 (UPGIS 2023) held in February of that year. 

These diverse projects span various sectors, including manufacturing, renewable energy, IT and ITeS, food processing, housing and real estate, hospitality and entertainment, as well as education, among others.

"Today, the devotion with which PM bowed to the land of Shri Kalki Dham... I believe that neither in the past nor in the future can there be any other PM like Narendra Modi," Chairman of Shri Kalki Dham Nirman Trust Acharya Pramod Krishnam said.
