Good to see PM focusing on infrastructure in eastern states! Bihar and Bengal have been neglected for too long. The new airport terminal in Patna is much needed - hope it reduces congestion. But I wish he'd announce more manufacturing projects for job creation too. 🇮🇳

As someone from Siliguri, I'm excited about the CGD project! Clean cooking gas will be a game-changer for rural households in North Bengal. But implementation is key - hope it reaches the last mile unlike some previous schemes. 🤞

Why always election-mode speeches during development launches? The PM could focus just on projects without dragging TMC into everything. Development should be above politics, no? Still, 70,000 crore investment is impressive if properly utilized.

My brother works at Patna Airport! The new terminal looks world-class in pictures. Finally Bihar getting infrastructure it deserves. Hope the Bihta project gets completed on time - our students and professors at IIT Patna desperately need better connectivity. 🙏

Sikkim is often forgotten in national discourse. Glad PM is visiting - hope he announces something for tourism infrastructure and border roads too. Our beautiful state needs sustainable development that preserves ecology while creating opportunities. 🏔️

As a UP voter, I've seen real development in our state under this government. But Bengal needs attention too - hope Didi's govt cooperates in implementation. These projects can transform lives if politics doesn't come in the way. #ViksitBharat
