Chandikhole, March 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the governments before 2014 were not interested in timely completion of projects.

The Prime Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of multiple development projects worth over Rs 19,600 crore in Chandikhole.
"Today's event is also a recognition of how rapidly the work culture has changed in our country over the years. The earlier governments were not interested in completing the projects on time. Whereas our government tries to rapidly complete the projects. After 2014, those projects that were stuck, and lost in the country were completed," Modi said.
