Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the new ITPO complex ‘Bharat Mandapam’ through drone in Delhi. Earlier in the day, the PM had performed pooja at the redeveloped ITPO complex at the Pragati Maidan.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the facility was developed as a national project at a cost of about Rs 2,700 crore and has a campus area of approximately 123 acres.
With less than a year to go for the general election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday issued a “guarantee” that India would be among the top three economies of the world during the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’s third term.
“In our first term, India was tenth in world economy rankings. In the second term, it is the fifth largest economy of the world. Based on this track record, I am saying that in our third term, it will be among the top three economies of the world. This is Modi’s guarantee,” the Prime Minister said, after inaugurating the complex that will be used to host the G-20 leaders’ summit in the capital in September.
The redeveloped India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) complex at Pragati Maidan has now been named Bharat Mandapam. Modi said that the new venue showcased India’s new energy and willpower.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, when all work had stopped, our workers toiled day and night to complete this project,” he said. “I salute all workers from the core of my heart.” The Prime Minister had met the workers in the morning, after he conducted a special havan, or religious ritual, at the venue.
