Rs 1,200 crore in just 10 days for two constituencies? That's impressive! But I hope these development projects actually benefit the common people and aren't just for show before elections. Need to see proper implementation on ground.
The 18-foot sculpture near Vadaj Circle will surely become a landmark. Ahmedabad is developing so well - new roads, gardens, and now this. Proud to be a Gujarati! Though I wish they also focus on cleanliness and traffic management around such spots.
While I appreciate the development, I think we need more substantive work than just unveiling statues. The real challenge is improving education, healthcare, and employment for our youth. A sculpture alone won't solve our problems. Just saying my honest opinion. 🤷
The mention of gardens and ponds in every village of Kalol and Gandhinagar North is a good initiative. With water scarcity in many areas, such infrastructure can help recharge groundwater. Hope they execute it well.
The development model from Gujarat to the entire country - that's a big statement. But we need to see if the same progress is happening in states ruled by other parties too. Bihar, UP, Rajasthan also need this kind of attention. Overall, nice event though.
