Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Uttarakhand today where he laid the foundation stone of Char Dham highway development project in state capital Dehradun. Addressing a public rally on the occasion, PM Modi said his government has only one agenda and that is development. "I don't make false promises, I remember what I say," Modi said launching the BJP's campaign for the next year's assembly polls in the hilly state.

Targeting the Congress and Gandhi family without taking their names, PM Modi said the Opposition party betrayed the Army jawans over the issue of One Rank One Pension (OROP).

"Our Army jawans were demanding OROP for the last 40 years, the party (Congress) that ruled the country for so many years never thought of their demands. They have betrayed our jawans. OROP budget is over Rs 10,000 crore. The government has released Rs 6600 crore under OROP and the rest of the amount will be disbursed soon, he said.

HERE'S WHAT PM MODI SAID:

I have a complaint against you all. When I came here during 2014 Lok Sabha election campaign, this ground was only half full. But today, I can see thousands of people here. This is an indication that Uttarakhand doesn't want to wait any longer for development.

Char Dham project is a homage to all those who lost their lives during Kedarnath tragedy.

Hasty schemes only for politics, not development. Janata hai, sabkuch janti hai (people know everything). We are launching this project with proper planning.

(people know everything). We are launching this project with proper planning. I assure you that whenever you will come for Kedarnath,Badrinath yatra, you will remember this government

My government is dedicated to work for poor. We will provide better transport facilities to Uttarakhand.

We are working to turn Uttarakhand into the land of opportunities. We'll take this state to new heights of development.

I don't forget my words. I don't make false promises.

Buying a gas cylinder was used to be massive task in this country.

Am I working for the rich or poor?

Previous governments misled people over One Rank One Pension (OROP) for over 40 years. But it was my government which implemented it.

for over 40 years. But it was my government which implemented it. Have you made me the PM only for inaugurating small projects? I wasn't made PM to cut ribbons, light candles. You have given me the responsibility of a guard and now some people are worried when I am doing my duty.

You have given me the responsibility of a guard and now some people are worried when I am doing my duty. I have launched a war on black money and I seek your blessings in this war.

Black money is not the problem. Its the black hearts of some people which are a problem.

Our aim is clear - remove corruption, its root.

Corruption, looting must end if we have to make India progress.

We cracked down on corruption, black money, terrorism, drug mafia and human trafficking in one go with note ban.
