Good to see focus on both infrastructure and healthcare. The new PHCs will be a boon for rural Gujarat. Hope they maintain quality staffing though - buildings alone won't solve healthcare challenges. The traffic projects in Ahmedabad were badly needed!

As an Ahmedabad resident, I'm thrilled about the Pallav flyover! That area was a nightmare during peak hours. ₹116 crore seems justified if it saves our daily commute time. Hope they complete the other AMC projects on schedule 🤞

The frozen potato unit is smart thinking - Gujarat's farmers will benefit from agro-processing. But why only focus on Gujarat every election season? Other states need development too. Balanced regional growth should be priority.

Beautification of Kolwada Pond is wonderful! Our cities need more such green spaces. Hope they maintain it properly unlike other projects that get neglected after inauguration. The cooperative sector event sounds interesting too - amdavadis should attend!

₹385 crore for Ahmedabad projects is massive! Hope the funds are used transparently. The nursing college in Mehsana is a great initiative - we need more healthcare professionals. Gujarat model showing results again 👍

As someone from Gandhinagar, the Sector 21-22 underbridge was long overdue! But why do politicians only remember development when elections approach? We need consistent governance, not just pre-poll announcements. Still, better late than never!
