Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hit out at previous governments for neglecting eastern Uttar Pradesh and said Kashi's identity has for long been that of a centre of religion and spirituality but it will now emerge as a big centre of healthcare. The prime minister was addressing the inauguration ceremony of the RJ Sankara Eye Hospital in his Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency. Reciting the Sanskrit couplet "Tamaso ma jyotirgamay (lead me from darkness to light)", Modi also said that he was feeling "blessed" to be back in Varanasi again.
"For a long time, Kashi's identity has been that of a centre of religion and spirituality but now, it is also set to emerge as a big centre of healthcare with various top-of-the-line health treatment facilities now available in Varanasi," the prime minister said. "In the last 10 years, 25 crore people have emerged from poverty and that is why, our government is paying special attention to ensure people remain healthy," he said after inaugurating the eye hospital. "I have just come back after seeing this eye hospital, it is a blend of spirituality and modernity.
This hospital will serve the elderly as well as children," Modi said.
