Yogi Adityanath says drought-hit Bundelkhand’s water problems can end in 2 years, invokes PM Modi’s schemes.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while addressing a gathering in Jhansi on Thursday, said Bundelkhand’s water scarcity problems can be solved in just two years if PM Narendra Modi’s schemes are implemented in the state.
“Problem of water scarcity will end in two years if all the schemes approved by Prime Minister for Bundelkhand are implemented,” Adityanath was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Taking a step in this direction, PM had launched his flagship Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) from Mahoba district of Bundelkhand region on October 24 last year.
