Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that 'Urban Naxals' and other 'anti-development elements' stalled the work on the Sardar Sarovar Dam for years in Gujarat's Narmada by running a campaign claiming it would harm the environment. "Now, when the dam is complete, you can very well judge how dubious their claims were," PM Modi said. Addressing the environment ministers of different states, PM Modi said, "Urban Naxals and anti-development elements with political backing had stalled the construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam by running a campaign that the project will harm the environment. Huge amount of money was wasted because of this delay."
