Accusing the Punjab government of "going slow" in implementing central schemes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday asked the Amarinder Singh-led dispensation to "wake up and complete the people-friendly projects in time".
Addressing a rally organised by the SAD-BJP combine here, the prime minister said, "The Punjab government is going slow on smart city projects of Amritsar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar and AMRUT schemes the government should wake up and complete the people friendly projects in time."
Saying that the water of the river Ravi has been flowing into Pakistan for decades without being used by Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, he claimed, "The waste of natural resource is not acceptable to the NDA."
