Thokkottu, Dec 30: Condemning the delay in completion of Thokkottu flyover works by December 30 as announced by MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and inaction of National Highway Authority, the DYFI activists conducted a mock inauguration of the flyover by taking the persons wearing the masks of PM Narendra Modi, Nitin Gadkari and Nalin Kumar Kateel, here on Sunday.

Addressing the gathering, DYFI district secretary Santhosh Bajal said that the Modi government which came to power promising Achhe Din has completely failed even providing a good road.

In order to educate the people about false promises and lies of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, they have conducted the mock inauguration. At least now, the MP should stop giving false promises and prove himself through works, he said.

Bhopal (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said India made a strong but a bit late entry into the semiconductor industry, adding that the country will soon become self-reliant in the sector and start exporting.

He also said the geographical location of Madhya Pradesh is so attractive and its land so fertile that one can earn crores of rupees by investing even a small amount in the state.

Addressing the 'Abhyudaya Madhya Pradesh Growth Summit' here, he said, "We have made a strong entry into the semiconductor industry, although a bit late. In no time, we will not only become self-reliant in the semiconductor sector, but will also start exporting it."
