Gandhinagar, 3 July, 2014

Since the Prime Minister is well versed with the pending issues of Gujarat, it is now for the newly elected MPs from Gujarat for effective follow-up, the Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today told the Members of Parliament from Gujarat.

In her first meeting with MPs here after assuming office, she said that she had herself met several Union Ministers during her recent visit to New Delhi. She shared her experience with the MPs and apprised them about the positive attitude of the Union Ministers.

The Chief Minister was particularly pleased with her meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for clearing the issue of raising the height of SSP dam on the Narmada by installing the sluice gates within 18 days of the newly elected government coming to power.

Anandiben asked the Members of Parliament to adopt a proactive role in the House, follow-up vital projects pending with the Centre, meet the Union Ministers concerned, Advisory Committees and all officials and discuss the importance of different projects for fast completion of each project.

Mrs. Patel also asked them to ask barrage of relevant questions in the House during Question Hour. She said the State Government will provide them all possible inputs. Several Ministers of the Gujarat Government are also meeting Union Ministers, which need to be followed-up by MPs.

The MPs presented the list of projects they intended to take up under MP’s Local Area Development (MPLAD) Funds.
