Union Home Minister addresses a Huge rally in Puducherry
Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah addressed a massive public rally in Karaikal, Puducherry, on 14 February 2026. Earlier in the day, the launch of Bharatiya Janata Party’s Assembly election campaign in Puducherry was marked through wall writing at Kamaraj Salai, Kottucherry, in Karaikal. During the public meeting in Puducherry, a detailed report card of the achievements of the double-engine government in the Union Territory was presented, along with a sharp critique of the Congress and the INDI alliance. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Shri N. Rangasamy, Puducherry has witnessed the end of corruption, the return of political stability, and the restoration of its autonomous identity. The previous Congress government was called out for corruption and administrative disorder. A renewed commitment was reiterated toward development, industry, information technology, and the welfare of fishermen and farmers under the BJP-led alliance. The people of Puducherry were urged to once again form an NDA government to accelerate the Union Territory’s progress.
Report card of the work carried out by the Double-Engine government
Shri Shah said this massive public gathering has two clear objectives. The first objective is to present before the people the report card of the work carried out by the Double-Engine government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Shri Rangasamy. The second objective is to expose and unmask the deceptive politics of the UPA and the INDI alliance. Five years ago, the people of Puducherry formed an NDA government under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi and Shri Rangasamy. This government has accomplished three major tasks. First, corruption has been eliminated from Puducherry. Second, while the previous Congress government had turned Puducherry into an ATM for its masters sitting in Delhi, the present government has worked to establish Puducherry as a truly autonomous Union Territory. Third, political stability has been ensured in Puducherry.
Special emphasis on three key areas
He said BJP government will place special emphasis on three key areas. First, a strong ecosystem will be created to ensure that the products of Puducherry’s fishermen reach global markets. Second, Puducherry will be developed as a hub for IT- and AI-based software industries and data centres, creating opportunities for the youth. Third, ensuring employment opportunities for youth in Puducherry remains a core objective of the BJP government.
The Union Home Minister mentioned that the purpose of this outreach was to reassure the farmers, fishermen, and those associated with the textile industry in Puducherry that neither the textile sector nor the fishing community has suffered any harm. On the contrary, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has ensured one hundred percent protection for farmers. The functioning and growth of the textile and fisheries sectors are set to expand further, and comprehensive safeguards for farmers have been firmly ensured under the leadership of Shri Modi.
Form an NDA government
Shri Shah appealed to the voters of Puducherry to once again form an NDA government and to take Puducherry’s development forward under the leadership of Shri Rangasamy and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.
