Modi's woes: Will PM offer relief?

He also urged the PM that under Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Program (AIBP), areas in the state covered under Desert Development Program (DDP) should be considered at par with the areas under Drought Prone Area Program (DPAP) as was done in the states of Punjab and Karnataka and accordingly, 90% financial assistance under AIBP should be provided for Narmada command area development under Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) in an area of 8.73 lakh hectare.

Taking up the issue of Income Tax notice to the Gujarat government for the MoUs signed during the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors' Summit, Modi criticised the move saying that it was totally unfair and that did not come under the purview of this department.
