He also emphasised the extension of the Agra–Gwalior Greenfield Expressway to BIDA and Jhansi, along with the creation of a Delhi–Nagpur Industrial Corridor node to integrate Bundelkhand into the national industrial network.

The Chief Minister called for the expedited construction of a link expressway to BIDA and the fourth Delhi–Chennai railway line, as well as improvements to internal infrastructure, including roads, sewage systems, and power distribution networks.
