'There is no house in my name but lakhs of daughters have been made the owners of the house.', said PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on Gujarat tour these days. Here in Vadodara he did a road show. During this time, Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel was also present with him. After the road show, PM participated in the Nari Shakti Vandan Abhinandan program. He was given a grand welcome here. Speaking at a program to felicitate the passage of the Women's Reservation Bill, PM Modi said - the opposition had stopped it for three decades, but now his government has made women's reservation a reality.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that he does not have any house in his name, but his government has made lakhs of daughters of the country house owners. Modi, who is on a two-day visit to Gujarat from Tuesday, was speaking at the launch of various development projects worth over Rs 5,000 crore, including Rs 4,500 crore projects related to the education sector, in Bodeli town in Gujarat's tribal-dominated Chhota Udepur district.

He said, 'Since I have spent significant time with you, I know the issues faced by poor people and I have always tried to solve those issues. Today I am satisfied because my government has built four crore houses for the people across the country. Unlike previous governments, a house for the poor is not just a number for us. We work to provide respect to the poor by building houses for them.

He said, 'We are building houses as per the needs of the poor, that too without any middleman. Lakhs of houses were built and registered in the names of our women. Although I do not have a house in my name, my government has made lakhs of daughters house owners.

Modi also said that World Bank President Ajay Banga was so impressed by the Gujarat Education Department's Command and Control Center in Gandhinagar that he urged him to start such centers across the country.

He said, “World Bank President (Ajay Banga) recently visited the Vidya Samiksha Kendra (in Gandhinagar). During the meeting he urged me to start such centers in all the districts of India and said that the World Bank is ready to be a part of this project.

The Prime Minister said that the new National Education Policy (NEP), which remained in limbo for three decades, was finally introduced by his government. Without naming anyone, Modi attacked the opposition and said that they were doing reservation politics.

He said, 'But till I became the Chief Minister, no science schools were running in the tribal areas of Gujarat... If you do not have science schools then how will you get admission in medical and engineering colleges.

Let us tell you that before this he also participated in a robotic exhibition organized in Science City, Ahmedabad. Along with this, he also inaugurated the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit. In the robotic exhibition, PM Modi also interacted with the employees present there and also took stock of all the robotic things kept there.
