read moreLUCKNOW: The blueprint for Modi's vision of Varanasi is out. Modernisation of ghats with special focus on Dashaswamedh Ghat, motor boats in Ganga and a greener Varanasi are highlights of the concept as of now. The ghats would be beautified on the lines of Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad:bash:, while other efforts would ensure Varanasi becomes spiritual capital of the country. It is, thus, a plan for development keeping its originality and characteristic features intact.
A look at the blueprint gives out the perception that Varanasi is in for total makeover. Sources privy to the conceptualisation told TOI that every minute detail had been taken care of to ensure that originality of the oldest city remains.
The blueprint was presented to Modi before the polls and he has given a go ahead with the remark: "Even if I lose from Varanasi, it would be developed on the same lines", sources said.

The holy city, which Modi said would assume the status of Rashtra Guru, is likely to house a "mini PMO" to execute Modi's plans here.

Sources in the government told TOI, Team Modi has reached out to the bureaucracy and sounded the bugle call on development initiatives for the holy city.
Apart from the plans for cleaning up Ganga and the rest of the city, schemes are also afoot for easing the traffic congestion in the city. Top sources in the government said Modi had already issued directions to his team, directing them to draw up a list of tasks that need to be taken up for the city on priority basis.
Among the major plans that are already beginning to take shape, Modi's BJP team in Varanasi has proposed nearly 60 flyovers inside the city and connecting the two banks of the Ganges. In addition, the communication cell of the party has also started off an online campaign asking people to set the agenda for the Modi government for implementation in the next 100 days and one year. Professor of political science at BHU, KK Mishra, said, "Team Modi plans, primarily, to focus on restoring the Ganga to the glory it had known in the 1970s. There are also plans afoot to crack down on commercial activities on the ghats."

Those who lived in the ancient temple town simply weren't interested in venturing that far after dodging their way through the near-permanent traffic jam in the city centre. The suburban dream just didn't seem worth the hassle.
"It takes an hour just to get out of the city. Who would want to buy a home in the outer areas?" said real estate agent Jaiswal, who runs Satyam Property Dealers.
But all that's set to change with Narendra Modi, elected from Varanasi and Vadodara, having stormed to power at the head of a strong majority in the general election.
calm down buddy - it is not true that central govt. and member of parliaments cannot implement projects in specific constitutencies. Vajpayee built Ama Shaheed Path in Lucknow and was half way through with Lucknow Haat among many other road , water , sanitation projects.can you shift the thread to chaibar?
all you mentioned falls under state subject and Modi wont be able to do anything. He even wont be able to allocate funds for Varanasi. Varanasi will get funds like anyother city in India under no discrimination or generic policy.
Implementation and planning all has to be done by state.
e.g Sonia can not sanction all budgets to Amethi / Raibareilly and ignore rest of cities and districts in India
No need to discuss false news and Media propoganda.

Can the central govt. give special status to certain cities ?
Of course Central govt. needs state help in executing projects and Modi realizes that as well. We should wait and watch rather than cry like a hopeless dehati aurat. He has said that he wishes that SP govt. wont reject good development projects in state. And trust me they wont - it would upset people's sentiments and also make things difficult for the state govt. as well. Also , If Modi decides to develop Varanasi under a centrally sanctioned project , state govt. cannot do a thing about it.if MP has to decide what has to be done in Lucknow / Varanasi then you do not need state governemnts. Why do we waste billions in state election and running state govt and departments.

let me give you an example : if Modi decides to make a road in Varanasi and release funds for it under some scheme - the local govt, would be obliged to accept that fund and execute that project. State govt. cannot say : no we wont let you build a road here(unless they prove that this project is harmful). the best they can do is to siphon off the funds and show the work on paper only. That is highly unlikely to happen if Modi keeps a strict eye on his projects. CENTRAL GOVT> CAN IMPLEMENT PROJECTS SANCTIONED BY CENTRAL GOVT. ONLY AND IF THERE IS A CLASH OF INTEREST BETWEEN CENTRAL AND STATE. GOVT. the decision of central govt. is full and final. I have read it in my class 10th book.no one is crying like dehati aurat....
Problem is without applying any thought you and many jump on to draw conclusion that has no basis. (and do not spend few seconds to start new thread)
we already have initiative by central govt

check the staus of project from different state govternments.
Keep one thing in mind. Funds with central or state government are not private property of MP/MLA.
any spending of funds has to be under policy that must follow indian constitution.
so not only misinterpreted my comment but also skipped the main point . let me give you an example : if Modi decides to make a road in Varanasi and release funds for it under some scheme - the local govt, would be obliged to accept that fund and execute that project.

Central govt rules the state only under president rule via governer.^^ :lol: according to you central govt. is powerless if it wants to overturn a Muncipal corp. decision or a state govt. decision. Frtily , My teacher was a Phd. from DU ..secondly I studied in iCSE board with books of national authors....thirdly state and local bodies donot create hindrance if center wants to do some GOOD work forthly in case if a work of central govt. clashes with state or local bodies then the decision of central govt. overpowers them.
Under any circumstances Center can not overrule elected state govt or elected municipal corporationWhen Rahul Gandhi says that it is the responsibilty of state govt. to build roads in Amethi thatswhy he only focused upon NH then he forgot that Center can direct local bodies to carry out specific work , it is NOT obligatory as it is not their JOB but if they WANT they always can.
The thread is not to discuss the Indian constitutionIndian System has division of work but it is not local pockets of power. There is a hierarchy in power and center sits at the top of it. I'll give you an anology for this:
You are working in a team where you have to host a birthday party. There is a team leader X . You (Y) have been assigned the work of arranging food and in your sub group a person(Z) is assigned the task of arranging cake. If the leader X wishes to have a specific type of cake then it can command Y. You can argue with X but X's decision would overpower yours as he is the higher authority. Then you have to direct Z to arrange that cake. Y cannot say that he wont accept X's proposal and similarly Z cannot say the same to Y and X.
In the above analogy eventhough Y and Z are free to plan and execute as they seem fit they cannot contradict X's command even if they wish something else.
Tell me the specific from where Modi will get funds to give to Municipal Corporation of Varanasi? and under which policy? why will he discriminate between lets say Meerut Municipal Corporation or Mathura or any town in Bihar or TN, MH etc."The principles adopted from Canada were federal government with strong centre and also distribution of powers between central government and state governments along with placing residuary powers with central government." - from wiki
