Ghazipur (UP): On Friday, BJP president J. P. Nadda used the term "HIRA" to describe the central government's focus on highways, internet, railways, and airways. Moreover, he claimed that India had surpassed Britain to become the world's fifth largest economy in the midst of the global financial crisis.
“Today, I say that development means HIRA -- H for Highway, I for Internet, R for Railways and A for Airways,” Nadda said addressing a public meeting here. “Today, when I was coming (from Kashi), I saw Ghazipur has changed a lot. Earlier, it took hours to reach Ghazipur from Kashi. Today, it took just one-and-a-half-hour," he added.
It is noteworthy that in the meeting of the National Executive of the BJP held in Delhi on January 17, it was unanimously approved to extend the tenure of J P Nadda till June 2024. The Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, told reporters on the last day of the BJP's two-day executive meeting at the convention centre of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) in the capital that Nadda's term would be extended. Following this, Nadda visited for the first time to Varanasi and the neighbouring Ghazipur, which are parts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's parliamentary constituency.—Inputs from Agencies
