 "Shall revive Vajpayee govt's projects: Modi")
Narendra Modi today promised to revive programmes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee government and revise the minimum support price (MSP) given to farmers, if voted to power.
"On the model of Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojana (launched during the Vajpayee regime), we will introduce Prime Minister Gram Sichai (irrigation) yojana for our farmers," Modi said in his poll meeting here.
Stating that the current MSP on foodgrains produce was not uniform across the country, he promised guidelines that would help the farmers in the country uniformly.
Soliciting votes for party's Hazaribagh candidate Jayant Sinha, son of sitting BJP MP Yashwant Sinha, Modi said if voted to power he would ensure completion of NTPC power project which was initiated during the Vajpayee government.
