Tis the season for misleading claims again! As Modi heads to #Jewar to lay the foundation stone for the #NoidaInternationalAirport, politicians are telling us the airport will be the "biggest in Asia". By what yardstick? Not by no of pax, flights or size. A #FactCheck 
A top official from Yamuna International Airport Private Limited told me that with all the infrastructure planned for the 40-year concession, the Jewar airport is still not going to be the biggest in Asia. *By 2060* the airport expects to get to 70mn passengers (official PR data)
At least seven Asian airports were handling more than 70mn passengers annually before the pandemic (the level NIA expects to get to by 2060). Moreover, it is not as if passenger traffic at these airports will not grow further.
PM @narendramodi inaugurated the #PurvanchalExpressway - a 341 km long, access controlled, six-lane expressway (the longest in Bharat) that connects Chand Saray near Gosainganj in Lucknow district with Haydaria in Ghazipur district. The construction was completed in 3 yrs 👇
at a cost of ₹ 22,500 crore. Just to give you an idea about some of the infrastructural developments at different points along the course of the expressway, 22 Flyovers, 7 Railway Overbridges, 7 Major Bridges, 114 Minor Bridges, 6 Toll Plazas, 45 Vehicular Underpasses,👇
87 Pedestrian Underpasses and 525 Box Culverts were also constructed along the way. This is what CM @myogiadityanath has done to UP.
However, what you see today is just a glimpse of the things to come. Work on 11 new airports is progressing at a rapid pace,👇
