Development is the only answer to violence, says PM Narendra Modi

His comments made assume significance as Chhattisgarh has been reeling under naxal insurgency and has witnessed large scale violence by the ultras

Development is the only answer to violence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Thursday, in an apparent message to the naxals who have been indulging in a violent campaign in Chhattisgarh.
 
Addressing a rally after launching development projects worth Rs 220 billion in Chhattisgarh, which goes to polls later this year, he said his government is working on creating an “atmosphere of trust”.
 
“I think development is the only answer to violence and conspiracy of any sort. The trust emanating from development ends violence of any type,” he said.
