PUDUCHERRY, 25 February, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, several key projects launched in Puducherry by PM Modi, just days after a Congress government collapsed in the state.

The four projects included the four-laning of a part of National Highway 45-A which connects the union territory of Puducherry to Tamil Nadu. The cost of the 56-km long Sattanathapuram-Nagapattinam project will be about Rs 2,426 crore.
He stressed the need for good roads to ensure farmers' produce get access to better markets, he laid the foundation of a medical college building in Karaikal, and a port at Puducherry.
Addressing a BJP rally at Puducherry, the Prime Minister launched a blistering attack on the Congress-led government which had to step down on Monday on account of the loss of numbers in the Assembly.
