To accomplish these projects by 2019, Union Minister of Water Resources Uma Bharti has assured the participation of NABARD in this. This would eradicate the problem of money distribution. Planning commission has accepted this programme. Bansagar canal project is also included in this programme. Irrigation project of this programme would benefit 18 States.
Meanwhile, in separate statement, BJP’s State Spokesperson Umesh Sharma said that PM made ‘terrorism’ as the subject of discussion when the top leaders of 20 countries were in China. Modi’s aim was to inform the world about the training camps of the terrorist running in Pakistan and to expose the support of Pakistan’s secret agency ISI to the terrorists and he succeeded in this.
