The Prime Minister in his Bikaner speech on Thurs- day said the money spent by the government to build infrastructure increases employment as well as business. Also, when this infrastructure is ready, the farmer’s produce reaches the market at a lower price, new industries are set up and tourism gets a boost.
He said that Rajasthan is also getting a big benefit from the work being done on infrastructure. Today, good roads are being built in every village and border areas of Rajasthan.
