Attacking Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday alleged that its rule in this Union Territory was marked by political instability, corruption, and that the UT was an "ATM for one family" in Delhi.

During the earlier Congress regime in Puducherry, ration shops had no rice, salaries were delayed, goons and drug mafias ruled the streets, he alleged.

PM Modi, who arrived at a rousing reception in Puducherry on Sunday, dedicated development projects worth over Rs 2700 crore, aimed at strengthening infrastructure, urban services, industrial development, education, and healthcare.

By 2047, Puducherry must become a ‘developed' UT and the double engine government "is with you in this mission", Modi said.
