New Delhi: India will see a spurt of new projects during the third year of the NDA government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union finance minister Arun Jaitley said.

“It is normal for any government which enters the middle of its tenure to consolidate its road map for the future. For the Modi Government, the first two years has also been like the slog-overs,” Jaitley said.

Taking on the previous government for its ‘policy paralysis’, the Union minister said, “Prime Minister Modi and his team have presented India with a changed political and governance culture. That India can have a clean government at the Centre where files move on their own, middlemen are unemployed, discretions are eliminated, is a reality being presented before the country today.” Jaitley said, the emphasis on the third year will be on India’s infrastructure, rural sector and India’s social sector and the expenditure this year on India’s rural roads will be three times what it was earlier.

”Twenty five more regional airports will be added. The Railways are being strengthened. With the re-development of four hundred major railways stations, the face of Indian Railways will be changed. There is more power available than what India needs. The port capacity is being strengthened with additional investments. Game changing initiatives in the oil and gas sector have been taken,” Jaitley said.
