Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for development projects worth more than Rs 20,000 crore in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, marking the start of work in rail connectivity, roads, oil and gas, and shipping.

Modi praised Vijayakanth, the movie actor and leader of Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) party who died on December 28, as a "Captain" in cinema and politics. "Vijayakanth won the hearts of the people through his work and films and kept the national interest above everything.?

Modi spoke about the contribution of late agriculture scientist M S Swaminathan, a leader of India's 'Green Revolution', for his role in the food security of the country.

Tamil Nadu is a reflection of India?s prosperity and culture. ?Tamil Nadu is home to the ancient language of Tamil and it is a treasure trove of cultural heritage,? he said as he mentioned poets Saint Thiruvalluvar and Subramania Bharati among people who had created a magnificent literature. He also mentioned that Tamil Nadu is home to scientific and technological brains like C V Raman.

Modi reiterated that the motto of Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal will play a crucial role in India becoming a developed nation in the next 25 years.

Among the projects he inaugurated include a new terminal building developed for more than Rs 1100 crore at Tiruchirappalli International Airport. The two-level new international terminal can serve more than 4.4 million passengers annually and about 3,500 during peak hours daily.
