RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister and senior Congress leader TS Singh Deo was seen heaping praises on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at an event where he shared the stage with the Prime Minister. He was speaking at a function in which the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for critical care blocks in nine districts of Chhattisgarh and distributed one lakh sickle cell counseling cards.

“You have come here today to give something. You have given a lot of things to Chhattisgarh, and I trust that in the future too, you will keep providing us with more,” Singh Deo said as he welcomed Modi.

"We have worked as per the guidelines given by the Centre. In my experience, I have not experienced any bias. The Centre has not denied any demand on behalf of the state. I think the Centre and the state will work together to take the country forward,'' Deo added. Modi also shook hands with the Congress leader.

Speaking at the function, the Prime Minister said that rail projects worth 6,400 crores are going to be implemented in Chhattisgarh.

"Chhattisgarh is the powerhouse of development in the country. The country can move forward only if all the power centers work together. The Centre is planning to implement big projects in Chhattisgarh in all sectors. The foundation stones for this have been laid," the Prime Minister said.
