Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation and Senior BJP leader Shri Amit Shah addressed a public meeting in Hamirpur and Kangra, Himachal Pradesh on Saturday. Shri Shah strongly criticized the Congress-led Himachal Pradesh government and praised the infrastructural development and projects initiated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. During the event, Himachal Pradesh BJP President Shri Rajeev Bindal, Lok Sabha Candidate Shri Anurag Thakur, Lok Sabha candidate from Kangra, Shri Rajeev Bhardwaj, Kutlehar Assembly Election Candidate Shri Devendra Bhutto and others were present.

Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation paid his reverence to Mata Jwala Devi Mandir and Baba Balak Nath’s place. He highlighted that five phases of the election have already been completed and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has achieved the target of 310 seats. The goal of surpassing “400 Paar” in the 6th and 7th phases is crucial for ensuring that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji becomes Prime Minister again. The responsibility for crossing “400 Paar” lies with the people voting for the 7th phase, particularly with Himachal Pradesh. While BJP aims for “400 Paar,” he pointed out that Rahul Gandhi’s seats are likely to remain below 40. He urged the people to ensure the victory of BJP candidates in all three Himachal Pradesh constituencies, which would bring a government led by the Lotus symbol to the state. 

Shri Shah emphasized that upon the announcement of results on June 4, the NDA will achieve ‘400 Paar’. Shri Narendra Modi Ji will secure his position once again as the Prime Minister, while Rahul Gandhi will hold a press conference blaming the EVM for the defeat of the INDI alliance. Congress formed its government in Himachal Pradesh after winning the assembly elections, but after losing in the Lok Sabha, it blames everything on the EVM. Following the June 4 results, responsibility for the Congress’ defeat will likely be placed on its national president, Mallikarjun Kharge, leading to his resignation.

Union Home Minister praised Shri Anurag Thakur’s extensive work in the Yuva Morcha, the cricket association, and now as a member of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s ministerial team. Shri Anurag Thakur has not only focused on his constituency but also worked to align the youth with BJP’s ideology. Shri Thakur’s significant contributions to sports and his dedication to the development of Hamirpur and the entire Himachal Pradesh. Several key infrastructure projects initiated under Thakur’s planning, including the ₹10,000 crore Keeratpur Nahar Chowk four-lane road, the ₹1,300 crore Hamirpur Mandi road expansion, the ₹1,200 crore Hamirpur-Dharampur Mandi highway, and the ₹870 crore Lathiyani Mallipur bridge.

Shri Shah further elaborated on the developmental works in Himachal Pradesh, citing the ₹350 crore Kandor Hamirpur road expansion, the ₹1,000 crore Bilaspur-Leh railway line, and the ₹2,000 crore drug park aimed at overall state development. The establishment of a ₹1,500 crore AIIMS in Bilaspur, a PGI satellite centre in Una, a central university in Dera, a triple IT in Una, and the nation’s only hydro engineering college in Bilaspur. Additionally, the 66 MW Hydro Power Project and the IOCL depot in Una as significant achievements. These projects demonstrate Shri Anurag Thakur’s effective planning and commitment to the region’s development, aligning with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s special connection with Himachal Pradesh. While there are many significant Lok Sabha constituencies in the country, none have seen as much development work as Hamirpur.

Union Home Minister highlighted that the combined efforts of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership and Shri Anurag Thakur’s strategic planning have not only uplifted Hamirpur but have also propelled the development of Himachal Pradesh. He said that Congress leaders caution against discussing PoK, but Rahul Gandhi should understand that BJP karyakartas are not afraid of any kind of atomic threats. PoK has always belonged to India and it will be rightfully reclaimed. Previously, Rahul Gandhi used to warn in Parliament that abolishing Article 370 from Kashmir would lead to rivers of blood, but it has been 5 years and no one even dared to lift a single stone. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has worked to eradicate terrorism from the country. During the Congress regime, bomb blasts occurred in the country frequently during the 10 years. Because of their politics of appeasement, they remained silent after those incidents. However, when Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji came to power, he responded to terrorist attacks by conducting surgical airstrikes within just 10 days, entering Pakistan’s territory to eliminate terrorism. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s administration has made significant strides in combating Naxalism.

Shri Shah highlighted that the Modi government has achieved significant milestones, such as providing gas cylinders to 10 crore women, providing ‘nal se jal’ to 14 crore households, constructing 12 crore toilets, offering permanent housing to 3 crore underprivileged individuals, providing free treatment up to ₹5 lakh to 60 crore impoverished citizens, and distributing 5kgs of free grains to 80 crore people. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has played a crucial role in safeguarding the nation from the COVID-19 pandemic by ensuring free vaccination for all. During the pandemic, Rahul Gandhi misled the public on vaccines, engaging in unethical politics. However, after the widespread vaccination campaign, both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi got vaccinated themselves.

Union Home Minister pointed out that since the era of Indira Gandhi, retired soldiers from Devbhoomi and those currently serving have been demanding One Rank One Pension, yet their pleas went unheard. Upon assuming office, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji promptly allocated ₹1,20,000 crore to the accounts of soldiers. OROP is not merely about financial compensation, it’s about honouring the valour of the nation’s soldiers, a commitment Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has honoured. The Congress party kept the Ram Mandir hanging for 70 years, but Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, in just 5 years, not only initiated the construction of the Ram Mandir but also performed the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi came to Shimla for vacation but did not visit Ram Lalla’ Pran Pratishtha, as they fear their vote bank, which includes Rohingya infiltrators. The public of Himachal will not accept such individuals.

Shri Shah emphasized that Shri Narendra Modi Ji will be the Prime Minister for the third time. However, if the INDI alliance wins by mistake, who will be their Prime Ministerial candidate? None of the leaders from the INDI alliance including Sharad Pawar, Lalu Yadav, Mamata Banerjee, Uddhav Thackeray, MK Stalin, or Rahul Gandhi could step up as Prime Minister. The INDI alliance lacks a viable Prime Ministerial candidate. When questioned by a journalist, the INDI alliance members suggested a rotational Prime Minister system, with each serving for five years in turn. However, governing a country as vast as India cannot rely on such a mechanism. This approach would not suffice to address challenges like responding to Pakistan, combating pandemics like Covid, launching missions like Chandrayaan, elevating the country’s stature through international forums like the G-20, fostering youth startups, or effectively tackling terrorism and Naxalism. Only Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has demonstrated the capability to handle such tasks. The INDI Alliance leaders are embroiled in scams totalling ₹12 lakh crore, while Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s 23-year tenure as Chief Minister and Prime Minister has remained untarnished by corruption allegations. Vote counting will conclude on June 4th and on June 6th, Rahul Gandhi will depart for a vacation in Bangkok. While Rahul Gandhi is known for his frequent vacations, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has spent Diwali on the border with soldiers, showing his commitment without taking a single day off.

Union Home Minister stated that Congress has betrayed Himachal Pradesh. They promised ₹1500 to women, which has not been delivered. Out of the promised 5 lakh jobs, only 2 lakhs were supposed to be provided, but none have materialized. The promise of 300 units of free electricity remains unfulfilled and the state government also failed to buy cow dung for ₹2 per kilogram as promised. The Congress government in Himachal Pradesh has only indulged in corruption. During times of disaster, the Chief Minister and ministers of the Congress government even embezzled the ₹3200 crore sent by the central government. He said that in the pursuit of Congress’ family interests, the Chief Minister has turned Himachal Pradesh into the party’s ATM. The Congress in Himachal Pradesh utilizes the hard-earned money of the people for contesting elections.

Shri Shah stated that in every village, free medical treatment is being provided, but those who engage in corruption have shut down three colleges in Hamirpur’s Swarghat, Balh Seena, and Lamblu. Governments are meant to open colleges, not close them. Those who have embraced the BJP have resigned on democratic values and accepted the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, and the people are ready to re-elect them. The entire nation unanimously agrees that Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji will be the Prime Minister. From east to west, north to south, whether in the mountains, by the sea, in the jungles, or the cities, the response is the same everywhere.

Union Home Minister highlighted the numerous projects initiated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji in Himachal Pradesh. These include the inauguration of the 9 km long Atal Tunnel, Parbat Mala Project, Gram Sadak Project, a 1600% increase in railway investments, the establishment of a helipad and a new airport in Sanjoli, the IIM in Sirmaur, and several works under the Smart City project amounting to ₹10,000 crore. In Hamirpur alone, 7,65,000 beneficiaries have availed Ayushman Bharat, 83,000 women have received gas connections, 166,000 households have been provided with toilets, and 566,000 farmers have received ₹6,000. Additionally, the Chintpurni Mata temple has been included in the Prasad Yojana with an allocation of ₹25 crore. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has done extensive work and developed the entire country, with 100% development nationwide and 150% in Himachal Pradesh.

Shri Shah emphasized that the Modi government has completed the Pathankot-Bharmour highway at a cost of ₹35,000 crore. The government also initiated a drone pilot project in Shahpur, expanded National Highway 21 and built the Kangra-Mcleodganj road with a budget of ₹200 crore. Moreover, the government established the Central University of Himachal Pradesh, earmarked ₹570 crore for the Dharamshala Smart City project and constructed a medical college in Chamba. In addition, 16,000 homes were provided to the poor in Kangra, 17 lakh people received Ayushman Bharat cards, 44,000 women were supplied with gas cylinders, 58,000 toilets were constructed, nal se jal was provided to 5 lakh 20 thousand households and 2 lakh 70 thousand farmers received assistance through the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Development is not the work of the Congress; it is the habit of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Union Home Minister emphasized that in the past, there were incidents of gunfire within Kashmir, but now such occurrences are prevalent in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Previously, slogans advocating for freedom echoed in Kashmir, but now, those in PoK express a desire to join India, this is attributed to the impact of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s governance. Earlier, tourists were hesitant to visit Kashmir, but now, a staggering 2 crore 10 lakh tourists have visited. The chant of “Modi-Modi” this time signifies the commitment to building ‘Viksit Bharat’, ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Mahaan Bharat’. Shri Shah appealed to the public of Devbhoomi and Veerbhoomi to support the four BJP MPs and six MLAs contesting in the elections, ensuring the return of a double-engine government.

Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji addressed public meetings in Shimla and Mandi, Himachal Pradesh on Friday. Hon’ble Shri Modi ji criticized the corruption, misgovernance, and anti-women policies of Congress party while highlighting the welfare and developmental initiatives undertaken by the BJP-NDA. During the event, BJP Himachal Pradesh President Shri Rajiv Bindal, Shimla Lok Sabha candidate Shri Suresh Kashyap, Mandi Lok Sabha candidate Sushri Kangana Ranaut, former Haryana CM Shri Jairam Thakur and other leaders were present on the stage. 

Shri Modi remarked that while he was acquainted with Nahar and Sirmaur, the ambiance today felt entirely different. I used to work within the organization, organizing elections among people, but I’ve never been able to hold such a large rally here in Sirmaur. Today’s rally will be the biggest in the history of Sirmaur. The love and blessings of the people always make me feel like a Himachali. Coming to Sirmaur reminds me of the late Shri Shyama Sharma, Shri Chandra Mohan Thakur, Shri Baldev Bhandari, Shri Jagat Negi, and all the Karyakartas. These fond memories are a treasure for me. Even when the country didn’t know Modi, you all never lacked in giving me blessings and love. Times have changed, but Modi hasn’t. The relationship between Modi and Himachal remains as strong as ever. You will be glad to know that just as I proudly declare Himachal as my home while serving as the Prime Minister of India, similarly, a former President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai says that Himachal is his home. Mandi Lok Sabha constituency spans from one end to the other, connecting the Beas and Sutlej rivers, encompassing remote areas like Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti, Pangi, and Bharmour. Despite these challenging terrains, people have come from far and wide for such a large gathering today. 

Hon’ble Prime Minister stated that I have come to seek your blessings for the formation of a BJP government for the third time. I don’t seek blessings for myself, nor for my family, nor for my community. I am seeking blessings to build a strong India. I seek blessings for the development of “Viksit Bharat” and for the progress of “Viksit Himachal.” The nation has witnessed five phases of elections, and it is certain that the BJP-NDA government is going to be formed. Himachal will make it a hat-trick with BJP winning 4 seats and Congress zero. The people of Devbhumi don’t let anything go to waste, so no Himachali will let their vote go in vain. The people of Himachal will vote for the party that will form the government, and the government will be formed by the one whom the people of Himachal vote for and people have stamped their approval with the slogan “Phir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar.” 

Shri Modi stated that Himachal Pradesh is a state bordered by boundaries and its people understand the significance of a strong and resilient government. Modi will go to great lengths for you, but he will never let you face adversity. During the weak governance of the Congress, Pakistan would often challenge us, but under Modi’s strong leadership, India asserted itself. Modi declared that India will no longer beg in front of the world, we will fight our own battles, and indeed, India struck back when it was attacked within its borders. The lofty mountains of Himachal have taught me to keep my spirits high. The snow-capped hills of Himachal have also taught me to work with a cool mind. The mountains have taught me to hold my head high with pride, and I cannot tolerate any disrespect towards Maa Bharti. However, Congress seems to have a problem even with saying “Bharat Mata Ki Jai.” Congress seems to have difficulty even in saying “Vande Mataram“. Such a Congress can never do any good for Himachal.

Hon’ble Prime Minister pointed out that Congress had neglected the border areas of India, leaving them in a dire state. They didn’t build roads in ‘border’ states because they feared that enemies might infiltrate through those roads. Such cowardly thinking doesn’t align with Modi’s temperament. Unlike Congress, Modi has invested many times more funds to build roads and infrastructure on the borders. Today, hundreds of kilometers of roads have been constructed along the border, significantly improving the lives of both the soldiers and civilians residing in these areas. For four decades, Congress stalled the implementation of “One Rank One Pension,” disregarding the aspirations of former soldiers. In 2013, when the BJP declared me as the Prime Ministerial candidate, my first rally was held for ex-servicemen in Rewari. I assured them that I would implement ‘One Rank One Pension’, which scared the Congress. Overnight, in a rush, they allocated a token amount of ₹500 crore and claimed that they would implement ‘One Rank One Pension’. It was nothing short of mockery and insult for the entire armed forces community. It was Modi who implemented ‘One Rank One Pension’ and ₹1.25 lakh crore have already been given to our soldiers. That’s why people say that when Modi gives a guarantee, it’s a “Guarantee Puri Hone ki Guarantee.”

Shri Modi highlighted that on one hand, there is Modi’s guarantee, and on the other hand, there is Congress’ model of destruction. Congress deceived the people of Himachal Pradesh with plenty of lies and false promises just to gain power. The people of Himachal trusted them, but the promises made to be fulfilled in the first cabinet were not fulfilled; instead, the cabinet itself fell apart. Congress had promised to give ₹1,500 to the people, but they didn’t fulfill that promise. They had also promised to provide financial assistance, but nobody received it. In the first cabinet, they pledged to create one lakh jobs, but they failed to do so. This is ‘Taalebaaz‘ Congress, which has even locked the commission that conducts job exams. The royal family of Delhi, which betrayed Himachal, never looked back. I have been among you for 30 years, and there has hardly been a time when I haven’t visited Himachal. Even when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, I received love from the people of Himachal. I owe a debt to Himachal, and I am always looking for opportunities to repay it.  

Hon’ble Prime Minister stated that Palampur, located nearby, was the venue for the BJP’s working committee meeting, where they committed to constructing a Bhavya Ram Mandir in Ayodhya during a convention. Himachal Pradesh is the ‘Sankalp Bhoomi‘ for the construction of the Ram Mandir. The historic pledge taken in Himachal has now been fulfilled. The people have waited for this moment, and many sacrificed their lives. It’s not Modi who ended this wait, but the strength of the votes of the people. Indeed, the power of one vote revoked Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. Your one vote led to the creation of the Citizenship Amendment Act, granting citizenship to Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist refugees. One vote transformed India into the world’s 5th largest economy, and it was the people’s vote that paved the way for 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The country is on the verge of rejecting Congress for the third consecutive time. Congress seems to prefer an India mired in poverty, crisis, and citizen problems. Congress aims to put the country’s development in reverse gear. Congress is announcing that if they come to power, they will bring back Article 370, repeal the CAA, and dismantle India’s nuclear weapons. Modi has pledged for a Uniform Civil Code, advocating for equal rights under the law for all citizens, regardless of their religion. Congress, on the other hand, opposes the Uniform Civil Code and supports Sharia law under the guise of protecting Muslim personal law. The country and Himachal Pradesh do not accept such a Congress.

Shri Modi highlighted that there are three things common in Congress and the entire INDI alliance: first, they are highly communal; second, they are extremely casteist; and third, they are deeply entrenched in family politics. I will uncover the extent of embezzlement that has occurred with the funds allocated during times of disaster, and identify those responsible for looting. I pledge to return these funds directly to the people of Mandi. The people of Himachal Pradesh have been fed up with this deceitfulness for years. These three traits are shared by all these parties. For 60 years, Congress never considered that there could be poor people within the general category, and they never cared about them. Congress never thought about the general community, but Modi provided 10 percent reservation for the poor in this category, and there was no conflict in the country because of it. This reservation was not taken from anyone by force. Today, due to this effort, even the poor in the general category are getting opportunities in different places. Congress did not provide reservation to Giripar’s Hathi community as well. Today, I have come to alert the people of Himachal Pradesh about another conspiracy of the Congress and the INDI alliance. These people are playing many games to destroy India. Our Constitution and Baba Saheb Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar has provided reservation for the SC, ST and OBC communities, but the Congress and its allies want to abolish this reservation and give it to those communities who talk about vote jihad, their vote bank. As soon as the Congress government was formed in Karnataka, they snatched away the reservation rights of the OBCs and gave it to Muslims. This election is an opportunity to give the Congress an answer that the people of the country will not let them break the country. Just two days ago, the Calcutta High Court abolished the reservation for 77 Muslim communities in Bengal. The INDI alliance had included 77 Muslim communities in the OBC category, depriving the OBC community of their rights. This step was a blatant violation of the Constitution by the INDI alliance, but the court took this issue seriously. However, now the leaders of the INDI alliance, including Mamata Banerjee, are in a state of panic. Mamata Banerjee has even refused to comply directly with the court’s orders. For them, the Constitution and the courts hold no significance; their sole concern is their vote bank.

Hon’ble Prime Minister stated that people who live off their ancestors’ legacy cannot build a nation; rather, it’s those who rise from the soil and touch the heights of mountains. Today, India is being shaped by young people who are starting future startups and sending satellites into space, as well as women flying drones in fields and combat aircraft in the sky.  Mandi candidate Sushri Kangana Ranaut is not just a candidate but a representative of the aspirations of daughters. Sushri Kangana has proven that daughters too can succeed in new fields with the power of their beliefs. However, Congress makes derogatory comments about Sushri Kangana Ranaut. These comments are disrespecting Mandi, Chhoti Kashi, Himachal Pradesh, and every woman of Himachal. In a Himachal where goddesses like Maa Jwala and Maa Chintapurni are worshiped, the Congress royal family has not even apologized for insulting the daughter of that place. The entire Congress is anti-women. But it is Modi who guarantees a safe environment and new heights for our country’s women. Modi has provided opportunities for girls in military schools, defence schools and even in the army. Over the past 10 years, the number of women in central forces has more than doubled. Whether it’s fighter planes or passenger planes, today women are proudly flying these planes in the sky, and the coming five years are going to be even more promising for them. This is ‘Modi Ki Guarantee‘. During Congress rule, the journey from Chandigarh to Mandi was tiring, but today, the Atal Tunnel and the Kiratpur-Manali Four Lane have made this journey easy. Now, fruits and vegetables from Lahaul are reaching Mandi swiftly, and tourism is also flourishing.  Congress used to fear mentioning the name of Dalai Lama Ji, but he is the pioneer of India’s rich heritage and the Modi government has vigorously promoted this legacy. 

Shri Modi stated that to please their vote bank, the Congress is even opposing the Ram Mandir. Congress used to mock BJP and say, “Mandir Vahi Banayenge Par Tareekh Nahi Batayenge.” The BJP provided both the date and time, but still Congress boycotted the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony. Upon the completion of the 500-year-long struggle, there was enthusiasm across the entire country, but the Congress party could not tolerate it. A spokesperson for the Congress party has stated that if Congress comes to power again, they will once again lock the Shree Ram Mandir and they will send Bhagwan Ram back to the tent. In Himachal Pradesh, landmarks such as IIT and IIM have been established, along with the creation of blood and drug parks as well as medical device parks. Himachal Pradesh is one of the first states in the country where the Vande Bharat was introduced. Empowering farmers, the poor, women, and youth stand as a key priority for Modi. 5 Kg free food grains are being provided, healthcare coverage up to ₹5 lakh is being provided and farmers are receiving ₹6,000 under PM-Kisan Nidhi. Modi is dedicated to make 3 crore ‘Lakhpati Didi’. The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is set to commence, aimed at ensuring zero electricity bills for people by providing ₹75,000 for the installation of solar panels in households. Modi is committed to ensuring that no child should sleep hungry. That’s why the PM Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojna will continue for the next 5 years. Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji has called for support for the lotus symbol, aiming for a resounding victory for the BJP candidate to form the Modi government for the third consecutive term.

Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji addressed public meetings in Basti and Shrawasti, Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday and citicized the Samajwadi Party and Congress for their appeasement and dynastic politics while highlighting the developmental schemes undertaken by the BJP government. During the event, Uttar Pradesh CM Shri Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister and Apna Dal (S) President Smt Anupriya Patel, UP Cabinet Minister and Nishad Party President Shri Sanjay Nishad, UP Cabinet Minister and Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party President Shri Om Prakash Rajbhar, Former UP Chief Minister and Dumariyaganj candidate Shri Jagadambika Pal, Basti candidate Shri Harish Dwivedi, Sant Kabir Nagar candidate Shri Praveen Nishad, Shrawasti candidate Shri Saket Mishra among other leaders were present.

Shri Modi stated that the people of Basti, Siddharth Nagar and Dumariyaganj have always trusted the BJP government and Modi’s work, promises and intentions. I pledge that I will not let the sacrifices of the people go in vain and will work towards advancing the country through development.  Therefore, I will leave no stone unturned in living up to your trust. This is the ‘Modi Guarantee‘. Five phases of elections have already taken place in the country, and these five phases have ensured a ‘Teesri Baar Modi Sarkar.’ The INDI alliance gives different statistics in every statement, showing that they are so confused or upset that they can’t even remember what they said two days ago. Every vote given to the SP and Congress is worthless; the public should not waste even a single vote. People should vote for those who have a guaranteed chance of forming the government. One should never miss an opportunity to perform a virtuous act, and voting is also a virtuous act. Today, 80 crore people receive free rations, which is a virtuous act. Modi is committed to performing many such virtuous acts, and people will benefit from these good deeds. People must vote for ‘Viksit Bharat’, vote for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.

Hon’ble Prime Minister stated that there are many people in this country who don’t remember their son’s birthday or their wedding anniversary, but every child in this country knows January 22, 2024. When I say January 22, the nation responds with ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ On that historic day in Ayodhya, I said, ‘Ram Se Rashtra, Virasat se Vikas, Adhyatm se Aadhunikta.’ India has become the world’s fifth-largest economy. India’s stature and respect have grown. When India speaks on global platforms, the world listens. When India makes decisions, the world follows. The country that once sponsored terrorism used to threaten us, but today their situation is ‘Na Ghar Ka Na Ghat Ka’ and they are struggling even for food. Pakistan has been subdued, but it’s sympathizers, the SP and Congress, are now trying to scare India. They say, ‘Fear Pakistan; it has an atom bomb.’ India will not be afraid. Today, India does not have a weak Congress government; it has a strong Modi government. Those who should fear are the ones who do not believe in humanity, those who spill rivers of blood every day. India does not want to scare anyone, but it will never spare those who try to intimidate it. That’s why today, India strikes by entering their own territory.

Shri Modi stated that the flop film of the Shehzade of SP and Congress is being released again and again and these two Shehzade together are spreading the illusion of winning 79 seats in Uttar Pradesh, but in reality, both of them are daydreaming. On June 4, the people of Uttar Pradesh are going to wake them up from their sleep by not electing them and then both of them will blame their defeat on EVMs. The dynastic party of the INDI alliance has crossed all limits of appeasement. After a wait of 500 years, construction of Bhavya Ram Mandir took place in the country but SP leaders call Ram Mandir useless, SP openly calls Ram devotees visiting Ram Mandir as hypocrites and leaders of the INDI alliance call Ram Mandir impure. These people talk about the destruction of ‘Sanatan’ and the Shehzade of Congress are day dreaming of overturning the decision of the Supreme Court on the Ram Mandir, putting Babri lock on the Ram Mandir and sending Ram Lalla back to the tent. That’s why the people of the country have made up their mind to give them a befitting reply by not electing them.

Hon’ble Prime Minister stated that some people ran and climbed on the stage in the SP-Congress rally yesterday. SP-Congress leaders gave contracts to bring people to the rally, they pay money per person but they did not pay the money, that’s why people reached the stage in anger. A party which is in this condition, how can it do good to the people. Those, who did nothing for 60 years, have come together to stop Modi. The elections are about to end but the two Shehzade have not said anything credible about taking the country forward, about the vision of development and about the plan for the economy. On what basis, are they asking for votes? They want to come to power by undoing the work done by Modi. In 10 years, Modi gave 4 crore houses to poor people, but SP-Congress will snatch it from these 4 crore poor people and give it to their vote bank. Modi opened more than 50 crore Jan Dhan accounts for the poor, they will close the bank accounts and snatch the money. Modi brought electricity to every village; they will cut the electricity connection. Modi is providing water to every house. SP-Congress people will even open the water taps of your house and take it away. As long as Modi is alive, no one can snatch away the reservation of the poor, Dalits, backward and tribals. Modi is the ‘Chowkidar’ of the rights of the deprived.

Shri Modi stated that Modi lives for the country. The decisions taken by the Modi Sarkar for the country’s interest are beyond the power of the INDI alliance. Congress leaders say that if Congress comes to power, they will impose strict rules on CAA, which means that the terrorists who are in jail today will be invited to the PM’s house by Congress leaders and fed biryani. INDI alliance with such a mindset will destroy the country. If Congress comes to power, the strict rules that have been made on corruption, the mountains of notes that are being seized, will be changed to save the corrupt. During the SP rule, the rate card for making DM and DCP was fixed. Money was paid without building the road. Now all this has stopped by the BJP coming to power. The Shehzada of Congress wants the old Gunda Raj. Ever since the BJP government has come to power in Uttar Pradesh, goons are in trouble. The land which was occupied by mafias, today, houses are being built for the poor. The INDI alliance has diseases worse than cancer and can destroy the whole of India by spreading. These three diseases can become more destructive for the country than cancer. These diseases are- they are deeply communal, they are deeply casteist, they are deeply nepotist.

Hon’ble Prime Minister pointed out that Congress and SP leaders suddenly remembered the constitution but the same Congress had tried its best to abolish the constitution by imposing emergency in the country and the Gandhi family did not care about the constitution. Congress is so upset with the backward and extremely backward classes that Sonia Gandhi’s people locked Congress national president Sitaram Kesari, who came from an extremely backward class, in the toilet and threw him on the footpath and made Sonia Gandhi the President of the Congress party overnight. Those who tore the constitution to pieces are today holding the constitution of the country. Samajwadi Party has always opposed reservation for Dalits and now these people are advocating reservation on the basis of religion, going against the spirit of the Constitution. These people want to snatch the reservation from Dalits and backward classes and give it to those who do “Vote Jihad.” Congress has made laws in its state governments by stabbing the Constitution in the back and Congress wants to change Baba Saheb Dr, Bhim rao Ambedkar’s Constitution to give reservation to a particular class. Samajwadi Party is also standing with Congress in this anti-Dalit and backward class conspiracy. That is why the public will have to teach a befitting lesson to SP Congress in Uttar Pradesh.

Shri Modi stated that the BJP government is working on the mantra of “Vikas bhi Virasat bhi.” This area is very close to Ayodhya and is a pilgrimage center of the Ram Circuit being developed by the government. Ram Janaki Marg has been developed in this area. Work is going on to create a waterway from Saryu and this is just a trailer, a lot of big work is yet to be done. During the SP rule, it was difficult for women to leave their homes in Uttar Pradesh, people were afraid to buy land, mafias used to illegally occupy lands and orders were issued to release rioters from jail. Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath’s government has worked tirelessly to free Uttar Pradesh from the clutches of corruption and mafia rule. In this meeting, all the leaders of the NDA alliance are sitting on one stage but all the leaders of the INDI alliance are never able to come together on one stage, these people gather only to get photographed. 

Respected Prime Minister pointed out that SP had left no stone unturned in ruining this area. In the SP government, sugarcane farmers were not paid, sugar mills were sold for insufficient amounts and the condition of roads was pathetic but I had promised to rebuild the closed sugar mills in 2017 and I have fulfilled my promise. The BJP government is setting up ethanol units to increase the income of farmers. Continuous work is also being done to increase the connectivity of Basti, Siddharthnagar, Dumariyaganj. The BJP government is going to change the picture of this region by constructing Gorakhpur Link Expressway, Basti Pilibhit Four Lane Highway and Basti Ring Road. This will give new strength to the sugar industry of Basti, brass products of Sant Kabir Nagar and furniture industry of Maharajganj and will create new employment opportunities for the youth.

Shri Modi stated that the governments of SP, BSP & Congress were never concerned about the development of Shrawasti and about the heritage of the country. The BJP government is working to give Shrawasti a separate identity on the map of the country. The BJP government has built an airport in Shrawasti. The foundation stone of the Shrawasti Balrampur-Khalilabad rail project has been laid, Maa Pateshwari University is being constructed, a medical college is being built and the Saryu River project is being implemented for protection from floods. If SP and Congress get a chance, these people will stop the ongoing work and embezzle the money.

Respected Prime Minister stated that one vote of the people will bury the politics of appeasement in the graveyard and will ensure the future of the country. In the third term of BJP, 80 crore people will continue to get free ration and the poor will continue to get health cover up to ₹5 lakh, new houses will be built for 3 crore poor people, 3 crore women will benefit from Lakhpati Didi Yojana and the people who have not yet received the benefits of the schemes of the BJP government, it will be ensured that the benefits of the schemes reach all of them. I have to provide a permanent house to every poor person in this country. Modi does not come from a Shahi Parivar, I am also the son of a poor mother. I do not have to earn anything for anyone but I want to make the country so strong that these nepotistic parties cannot weaken the country again. All these benefits will be possible with the votes of the people, that is why there should be a huge voting in favor of NDA. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji appealed to the crowd present to make the local candidates victorious with a huge majority and contribute in the form of their votes to form the Modi government in the country once again and to prove the resolution of a Viksit Bharat.

Hon’ble Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh addressed public meetings in Karnal, Kurukshetra & Bhiwani in Haryana on Wednesday. Shri Singh emphasized on the developmental initiatives and welfare measures undertaken during the BJP administration under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji,  the corruption of Congress and Aam Aadmi Party was vehemently criticized. During the events were State Government Panchayat Minister Shri Mahipal Dhanda, Rajya Sabha MP Shri Karthikeya Sharma, former Haryana CM and Karnal Lok Sabha candidate Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Kurukshetra Lok Sabha candidate Shri Naveen Jindal, Lok Sabha Candidate Shri Chaudhary Dharamveer Singh and other others.

Union Minister Shri Singh stated that the entire country is currently undergoing Lok Sabha elections, and in six months, Haryana will face its Vidhan Sabha elections. This results in a waste of both resources and time. Hence, in its manifesto, the BJP has clarified that if it comes to power this time, it will establish “One Nation One Election,” ensuring that Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections are held simultaneously. This should have been implemented much earlier in independent India, but for some reason, it was not.

Respected Shri Singh mentioned that when the BJP proposed “One Nation One Election” to streamline Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections, Congress and other parties questioned its feasibility. However, if any political party has the capability to achieve the impossible, it is the BJP, and we will demonstrate this. The people of Haryana are known for their pride and honor. They cannot compromise on their dignity, which is their greatest asset.

Hon’ble Shri Singh mentioned that the greatest asset of a person is their credibility and reputation, someone who fulfills their promises is truly human. While all political parties make promises, they often fail to deliver. The people gave Congress 60 years of uninterrupted rule in this country. Leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Dr. Manmohan Singh all promised to eradicate poverty, yet poverty persisted. For the first time in independent India, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has successfully lifted 25 crore people out of poverty. If the BJP remains in power, it will take only 10 to 15 years to completely eradicate poverty in India.

Respected Shri Singh asserted that the BJP has always fulfilled its promises. In 1951, when the Bharatiya Jana Sangh began its political journey, they promised to abrogate Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, once they formed the central government. The BJP has fulfilled its promise and BJP also pledged that once they had a majority in both houses of Parliament, they would create conditions for the construction of a grand Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Hon’ble Shri Singh noted that in 1984, when BJP members chanted “Ram Lalla Hum Aayenge, Mandir Wahi Banayenge,” the opposition mocked them, saying, “Ram Lalla Hum Aayenge, Mandir Wahi Banayenge, Tareekh Nahin Batayenge.” However, on January 22, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, after a 12-day fast led by religious leaders, performed the “Pran Pratishtha” of Ram Lalla. This significant cultural and religious milestone marks the establishment of Ram Rajya, as Ram Lalla has moved from his humble hut to a grand temple.

Respected Shri Singh stated that the establishment of “Ram Rajya” in India will occur when every citizen becomes aware of their duties. Even Shri Ram had to go into exile because Kaikeyi was more concerned with her rights than her duties, which caused a crisis. Once people awaken to their sense of duty, “Ram Rajya” will be realized in this country. BJP promised to abolish the practice of triple talaq, and despite criticism from other parties claiming it interfered with religious matters, the BJP fulfilled its promise. The BJP stands against oppression and will always support women of any religion facing injustice. Criticizing the Aam Aadmi Party for not adhering to their promises and for betraying their mentor, similar to how Congress disregarded Mahatma Gandhi’s advice to disband after independence.

Union Minister Shri Singh emphasized that true credibility comes from fulfilling promises, contrasting the BJP’s consistent delivery with Congress’s failures over decades. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has achieved significant progress in poverty alleviation, something previous Congress leaders failed to do. The BJP’s commitment to their promises, such as the abrogation of Article 370 and the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, which have both been fulfilled.

Hon’ble Shri Singh recalled that when the BJP members chanted for the Ram Mandir in 1984, the opposition mocked them. However, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s leadership led to the fulfillment of this promise. The establishment of the Ram Mandir marks the beginning of “Ram Rajya” in India. Aam Aadmi Party for making false promises and betraying their supporters. Congress of similar betrayals, highlighting how they continued to operate under the same name despite Mahatma Gandhi’s advice. There is a need for their political elimination to fulfill the aspirations of leaders like Anna Hazare and Mahatma Gandhi.

Respected Shri Singh mentioned that Rajiv Gandhi once expressed his helplessness by saying that out of 100 paisa sent from Delhi, only 14 paisa reached the people. Dr. Manmohan Singh also couldn’t address this issue. However, the current Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, accepted this challenge and created the “Trimurti” of Jan Dhan, Mobile and Aadhaar. This system ensures that when money is sent from Delhi’s banks, 100% of it reaches the people. Merely making noise cannot end corruption; systemic changes are necessary. He asserted that only by transforming the system can corruption be eradicated.

Hon’ble Shri Singh noted that he never criticizes a Prime Minister out of respect for the institution. However, he highlighted the failures of previous Congress governments to control inflation and corruption. He praised Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji for creating a system where public funds reach their intended recipients, eliminating corruption at the grassroots level. Questioning Congress’s history of corruption, contrasting it with the clean record of BJP governments under leaders like Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The opposition for misleading the public and claimed that despite allegations, no BJP leader has faced corruption charges.

Union Minister Shri Singh addressed accusations that a strong BJP victory would threaten democracy, reminding people of Congress’s imposition of emergency in 1975, which stifled democracy. He shared his personal suffering during the emergency, emphasizing his commitment to democracy and the sacrifices made. The hypocrisy of AAP leaders who once claimed integrity but faced corruption charges themselves. Under previous administrations, agencies like the ED and CBI were not allowed to function properly, giving politicians free rein to engage in corruption. Before 2014, during the Congress regime, these major agencies only managed to confiscate ₹32 lakh under corruption charges. However, since Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji took office, nearly ₹22,000 crore in cash have been recovered, and assets worth over ₹1 lakh crore have been seized.

Respected Shri Singh stated that the BJP government passed the Citizenship Amendment Act to grant Indian citizenship to refugees facing religious persecution in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The BJP is a party that advocates for humanitarian and just policies. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has explicitly included the Ayushman Bharat Yojana in the party manifesto. Upon government formation, every citizen above the age of 70 will receive free medical treatment up to ₹5 lakh. Shri Singh asserted that no one dares to point fingers at Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, neither for corruption nor for his character. Such individuals are considered saints in politics. The nation is advancing and India’s stature in the world has surged. Previously, India’s voice was not heard seriously on the international stage, but now, when India speaks, the world listens attentively.

Union Minister shri Singh pointed out that during the Congress government’s tenure from 2004 to 2014, India consistently held the 11th position in the global economy. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s leadership has been transformative, as today, India stands out as the world’s fastest-growing economy, a fact recognized worldwide. In 2014, when the BJP government took office, India was ranked 11th economically, but within just 8 years, it has surged to become the 5th largest economy globally. Leading international financial firms predict that India’s rapid progress will inevitably lead it to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2027.

Shri Singh stated that the way India is progressing, it will become a global superpower. In Pakistan’s parliament, their parliamentarian Fazal-ur-Rehman has stated that India is on the path to becoming a global superpower, but Pakistan is begging in front of people to save itself from its own destruction. India aspires to become a global superpower not to invade any country but for the welfare of the world. Indian culture teaches its citizens, not just those residing within its borders but all people around the world, to consider everyone as a member of their family, spreading the message of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”.

Hon’ble Shri Singh highlighted Rahul Gandhi’s proposal for a survey of public wealth, suggesting that any excess would be redistributed. Rahul Gandhi’s advisor, Sam Pitroda, suggests that in India, if the head of the household dies, 55% of their assets should be seized by the government and the remaining should be given to their family. BJP advocates for a healthy democracy in the country. Shri Singh stated that Members of the INDI Alliance claim they will introduce reservations based on religion. In 1985, they attempted to implement religious-based reservations in Jamia Millia and Aligarh University, but the Supreme Court overturned this. The Constitution of India does not provide for reservations based on religion.

Union Minister Shri Singh emphasized that India is not lagging behind in defence affairs. In 2006, the Congress government initiated Sachar committee to ascertain the religious demographics within the military, a matter that wasn’t acceptable to the courageous soldiers of Haryana. While Congress discussed One Rank One Pension on par with equality, they only allocated a modest provision of ₹500 crore in the budget, raising doubts about its implementation. In contrast, it was the BJP government that invested significant resources, amounting to crores, for the welfare of border security personnel. 

Respected Shri Singh highlighted that a key AAP leader has been released from jail and is due to return on June 1. Previously, he had pledged to Anna Hazare and the nation never to reside in government accommodations if he became Delhi’s CM. However, he now inhabits a ‘Sheesh Mahal’ built with taxpayers money. Allegations of misconduct involving a female MP from their party have surfaced in the same palace. The personal assistant who mistreated a woman is now seen accompanying Delhi’s CM.

Hon’ble Shri Singh emphasized that if the government is formed, no person named poor will be left poor, those living in makeshift shelters should be provided with pucca houses, and “Nal se Jal” was made available to mothers and sisters. He said that the COVID crisis emerged as the greatest challenge of the 21st century. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji convened a meeting and directed all scientists to allocate funds for combating the pandemic, urging for the swift development of the COVID vaccine. With remarkable speed, the vaccine was developed, administered in two doses to the entire populace, not only in India but also in 100 other countries worldwide. 

Respected Shri Singh highlighted that Fawad Hussain, a former Pakistani Minister who admitted in their Parliament that Pakistan was behind the Uri and Pulwama attacks, is now publicly praising Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on social media, stating “Rahul on Fire.” Shri Singh emphasized that after the terrorist attacks in Uri and Pulwama, India responded forcefully, showcasing its ability to strike across the border if necessary. He remarked, “If I were in Rahul Gandhi’s place and Pakistan praised me, I would reject such praise. National pride is the strongest emotion in a person. Figures like Chandra Shekhar Azad, Sardar Patel, Khudiram Bose, and Ashfaqullah Khan possessed this sentiment. They willingly embraced the gallows to break the shackles binding Bharat Mata. That’s how India gained its freedom. But Rahul Gandhi seems to have lost this sense of pride, seeking applause from those who attacked our sleeping soldiers.” Shri Singh asserted that India has become a strong nation. He emphasized that if necessary, India can strike not only on this side of the border but also across it.

Union Defence Minister Shri Singh stated that under Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership, India is undergoing a transformation with a new vision. The people of Karnal are fortunate to have a candidate like Shri Manohar Lal Khattar. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji also praises Shri Manohar Lal Khattar. Those who make baseless accusations should examine themselves first. India is no longer a weak nation but has emerged as a formidable global force. While India does not seek confrontation, it possesses the capability to respond decisively if provoked. Today, India has the strength to defend its borders and, when necessary, to retaliate across them.

Hon’ble Shri Singh highlighted BJP’s longstanding reverence for women’s empowerment. He attributed India’s economic upturn to BJP’s majority government. Presently, Indian banks are yielding profits of ₹3 lakh crore. Referring to Maa Lakshmi’s symbolism, he urged the public to support the ‘lotus’ symbol and elect Shri Manohar Lal Khattar to Parliament, showcasing their support.

In a heartfelt address at the Mahila Sammelan in Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed his unwavering confidence in the people of Banaras and highlighted the significant strides his government has made towards women’s empowerment and development over the past decade. PM Modi also urged the attendees to prioritize their health during the campaign period.

|PM Modi emphasized, highlighting the transformative impact of his administration’s policies on women’s lives. He said, “For the first time in the past 10 years, women have come to the forefront of the government’s policies and decisions. Although it hasn’t been discussed much, it is a major factor in India’s success story. Tell me, when the home cannot run without you, how can the country run without you? This was something that the governments did not understand for 60 years. What did the Congress-SP governments give to women? Only neglect and insecurity.”

Addressing the safety concerns, PM Modi stated, “The INDI alliance’s mentality has always been anti-women. The INDI alliance opposes women’s reservations. Wherever their government comes to power, it becomes difficult for women to live. The people of Banaras are familiar with the jungle raj in UP and Bihar. It was difficult for our sisters and daughters to step out of the house. Daughters had to leave their studies and stay at home due to safety concerns.”

“For the first time, there is a government at the center that has cared about the dignity of women and provided them with respect. They were given toilets. Modi opened bank accounts for even the poorest women so that any money they receive remains safe. Modi registered millions of PM Awas in the name of women. Now women have become property owners. These were not just schemes, they gave new confidence to women’s power. This was my mission, this was my vision,” PM Modi declared, outlining the various initiatives taken to uplift women.

PM Modi also addressed the economic measures taken to alleviate the burden of inflation and improve the quality of life. “Congress comes, inflation rises. If there had been a Congress government, the budget of your kitchen would have increased two to three times. But this is BJP, this is Modi, the son of a poor man, who strives to reduce your expenses and increase your savings. Modi has implemented a free ration scheme, saving each family about 12,000 rupees annually. The Ujjwala cylinder you receive saves you over 300 rupees per cylinder,” he explained.

“In the past 10 years, over 300,000 people in Banaras have undergone cataract operations. At Jan Aushadhi centers, medicines are available at an 80% discount. This has saved Banaras residents millions of rupees on medical expenses. Over 90,000 pregnant women in Banaras have benefited from the PM Matru Vandana Yojana. Under this scheme, each pregnant woman has received 6,000 rupees directly into their bank accounts for nutrition,” PM Modi highlighted the healthcare initiatives that have significantly benefited the residents of Banaras.

“Through the Ayushman Bharat scheme, more than one and a quarter million people in Banaras have received free treatment. And now, Modi has decided that every mother over 70 years old in Kashi will receive free treatment,” he announced, reaffirming his commitment to the healthcare of senior citizens.

PM Modi also spoke about the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which has already installed solar plants in more than 2,000 homes in Banaras, saving families two to two and a half thousand rupees in their electricity bills every month. He promised further expansion of this scheme after June 4.

The Prime Minister assured the audience, outlining his vision for the future, and said, “The leaders of the INDI alliance talk about the destruction of ‘Shakti’, but after June 4, the Modi government will make your ‘shakti’ into a ‘Mahashakti’. I am continuously working for you.”

“Today, in the entire Banaras, the rates of shops, lands, hotels, and homestays have increased because such a large number of people are coming here. The Banas dairy that opened in Kashi has also proved to be a boon for Banaras. After the Banas dairy opened, more than 14,000 livestock farmers from Banaras alone were connected. After the Banas dairy came, the annual income of livestock farmers in Banaras has increased by more than one and a quarter lakh rupees,” PM Modi highlighted the economic benefits brought about by his government’s initiatives.

PM Modi concluded his address by expressing his gratitude and rallying the audience for the upcoming elections. He said, “I am grateful to all of you mothers and sisters. Remember, we have to win every booth, we have to make the lotus bloom at every booth. For this affection of Kashi, once again, thank you all very much.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge public gathering in Prayagraj, emphasizing the cultural and spiritual significance of the region, highlighting the progress made under his government, and drawing sharp contrasts with previous administrations.

“Prayag is a land of penance. It is the land of the grandeur of Kumbh. The blessings of Tirthraj Prayag, mean the blessings of the entire world,” said PM Modi, as he opened his speech, acknowledging the rich heritage and cultural vibrancy of Prayagraj.

“This election of 2024 will decide the direction in which the Triveni of India’s future will flow,” PM Modi said, emphasizing the critical nature of the upcoming elections in shaping the country’s future trajectory.

Highlighting India’s progress, the Prime Minister stated, “India is now identified by its expressways and high-tech infrastructure. Major countries tell me, they also want India’s digital technology. India is now raising its voice strongly in the world. When India hosts the G-20, the world is amazed.”

PM Modi drew parallels between the spirit of Prayagraj and the modern Indian ethos: “The people here do not live under pressure from anyone. Nor do they live in fear of anyone. The vitality I have seen in the people of Prayagraj is rarely found. And this is the temperament of today’s India as well.”

PM Modi criticized the opposition parties, particularly the SP, Congress, and the INDI alliance, for their inability to digest India’s progress. “The Shehzada of Congress goes abroad to insult India. On what agenda are these INDI alliance people fighting the election? Their agenda is to reinstate Article 370 in Kashmir. Their agenda is to cancel the CAA. Their agenda is to repeal the stringent laws against corruption. Will you vote for them to do all this?” he questioned the audience.

Recalling the days of SP and Congress rule, PM Modi said, “During the SP-Congress times, Prayagraj faced a lot of discrimination. Do you remember how you were made to suffer for electricity? There was the noise and smoke of generators outside every shop. Today, under Yogi Ji’s government, every district is getting equal and ample electricity. Before 2017, farmers had to stay awake all night to irrigate their fields. Today, even farmers are getting electricity easily.”

“Modi’s mantra is, ‘Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi’. A grand Ram Mandir has been built in Ayodhya. Now, the development of Nishadraj’s Shringverpur will also be done. Shringverpur will become a major pilgrimage site on the Ram Van Gaman Path. Would the SP-Congress people ever do this work?” he asked, highlighting his government’s commitment to preserving cultural heritage while pursuing development.

Addressing the first-time voters, PM Modi said, “There are many first-time voters in UP, who might not know much, what used to happen during the days of the family-oriented party? How it was difficult for our sisters and daughters to step out of the house. Industries and businesses were ruined.”

But Congress and SP are preparing to give reservations meant for Dalits and backward classes to their vote bank against the Constitution. “In Karnataka, the Congress government has given the OBC quota to Muslims. Now, they want to do the same across the country. But today, Modi is here on the land of Prayagraj to guarantee. I will not let them take away the reservations meant for Dalits and backward classes. And this is Modi’s guarantee.”

Concluding his speech, PM Modi urged the people of Prayagraj to support the BJP candidates in the upcoming elections. “The votes you give them will strengthen Modi. Tell me, will you send them to win on June 4th? Say loudly, will the lotus bloom in both seats?” he said.

PM Modi addressed spirited public meetings in Champaran and Maharajganj, Bihar, emphasizing the transformative journey India has undertaken under his leadership and the urgent need to continue this momentum. PM Modi highlighted the significant achievements of his government while exposing the failures of the opposition, particularly the INDI alliance.

Reflecting on the election progress, PM Modi declared, “In the first phase, the INDI alliance was already weakened. In the subsequent phases, the INDI alliance was crushed, and now, the INDI alliance has been completely defeated. Those who considered themselves the masters of the people. The public will deliver such a resounding defeat to them that the world will watch in amazement.”

PM Modi outlined the critical importance of the upcoming election phases. “India of the 21st century cannot move forward with the sins of the INDI alliance. Therefore, in every election, the public is delivering a severe blow to parties like Congress and RJD.”

Drawing inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi’s movements, PM Modi criticized Congress for failing to uphold these values. “Here in Champaran, revered Bapu practiced Satyagraha and Swachhagraha. After independence, Congress should have initiated a movement for cleanliness inspired by this. But they focused all their attention on promoting one family. Congress and its allies wasted 60 years of the country.”

Highlighting his government’s achievements, PM Modi said, “It was only after 60-70 years of independence when Modi came, that toilets reached every household, that electricity reached every house. This is Modi who took the initiative to provide gas to every home. This is Modi who is working so hard to provide tap water to every household.”

PM Modi emphasized his dedication to the poor, contrasting his administration’s efforts with the previous governments. “The importance of the poor began in this country only when this son of the poor became Prime Minister. In the last 10 years, a lot of Modi’s time has gone into filling the potholes left by previous governments. The work done in 10 years, and even more work will be done in the next 5 years. That is why I need a very strong government at the center.”

Expressing his resolve, PM Modi said, “Removing Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. Constructing the Ram Temple. Modi has resolved decades and centuries-old issues. Modi is not like those who betray the poor. I am presenting my report card. I ask the INDI alliance members. What is your record?”

PM Modi detailed the development initiatives in Bihar under his leadership. “Bihar has witnessed decades of migration, but due to the efforts of the NDA government, migration is stopping. The youth of Bihar are getting employment opportunities right here. A central university has been established in Champaran. A research center for agriculture. The Sardar Patel Cooperative Training Institute. A cylinder plant. IFFCO markets. A large dairy plant. Bridges, highways, modernizing railway stations. All these have created employment and development opportunities.”

PM Modi reaffirmed his commitment to social justice and the protection of SC/ST/OBC rights. “The truth is, if Baba Saheb Ambedkar had not been there, Nehru Ji would not have allowed SC/ST reservations. From Nehru Ji to Rajiv Ji, all the prime ministers from this family opposed the OBC reservation. Congress has betrayed the poor-SC/ST/OBC, women, and everyone.”

“Modi’s track record is before you. Our government gave the Backward Classes Commission constitutional status and implemented OBC reservation in Central Schools and medical education. If the interests of SC/ST/OBC are most secure anywhere, it is with BJP, it is with NDA,” he added.

PM Modi urged the people to support the NDA candidates and ensure a strong government. “To fulfill every guarantee of social justice, you need to form a strong Modi government at the center.”

Addressing his second public meeting in Maharajganj, Bihar, PM Modi reaffirmed his commitment to the people and outlined his vision for a developed Bihar and a prosperous India. PM Modi highlighted the increasing criticism from the opposition as June 4th approaches, and said “INDI alliance cannot tolerate that the people of this country are going to choose Modi again for the next five years.”

Highlighting the evil intentions and approach of the INDI alliance, PM Modi said, “When they gather, three evils are visible. First, these INDI alliance people are extremely communal, 100% communal. Second, these INDI alliance people are extremely casteist. Third, these INDI alliance people are extremely dynastic. These are the people under whose governments the country burned in the fire of communalism. These are the people who for years divided the country with casteism and deprived the backward classes of their rights.

He also spoke about his government’s efforts to uplift the poor, stating, “This son of the poor is working day and night to make your life easier. Today, millions of poor people are receiving free grains. Today, water is reaching every home, there is electricity, and there are toilets. Modi has delivered affordable gas cylinders to sisters. Sisters tell me that they have greatly benefited from the free treatment scheme.”

PM Modi concluded his address with a call to action, urging the people of Maharajganj to support local candidates and ensure a strong government at the center. “Your vote is not just to elect an MP. Your vote will elect a strong PM for a strong India.”

Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation and Senior BJP leader Shri Amit Shah addressed public meetings in Sambalpur, Keonjhar, Dhenkanal & Puri in Odisha on Tuesday. He criticized Naveen Babu’s government for corruption and asked the public to give ensure ‘a double-engine government in the state. During the rally, Odisha BJP President Shri Manmohan Samal, Union Minister and Sambalpur Lok Sabha candidate Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Bhubaneswar Lok Sabha candidate Smt Aparajita Sarangi, Baleshwar Lok Sabha candidate Shri Pratap Sarangi, Kendrapara Lok Sabha candidate Shri Baijayant Panda, Keonjhar Lok Sabha candidate Shri Shri Ananta Nayak and Union Minister Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste, Dhenkanal Lok Sabha candidate Shri Rudra Narayan Pany, Puri Lok Sabha candidate Dr Sambit Patra among other senior leaders were present. 

Hon’ble Union Home Minister commenced his address by seeking blessings from Mahaprabhu Jagannath, Samleshwari Mandir, Ghanteshwari Mata, and Vimbaleshwar Shiv Mandir. He praised the candidates and mentioned that after conducting ground surveys in all constituencies, it is evident that the BJP will excel, with the ‘Lotus’ blooming both at the Centre and state levels. With the conclusion of the fifth phase of elections, the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi-led government is already leading with over 300 seats. In the upcoming sixth and seventh phases, the public must ensure ‘400 Paar’ for Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. For the people of Odisha, achieving ‘400 Paar’ is not the sole objective; they should also strive to secure 75+ seats in the state assembly elections. The election is not just about making India secure and prosperous but also about ensuring a prosperous and developed Odisha, reinstating respect for Odia literature and culture. 

Shri Shah emphasized that each vote will contribute to re-electing Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji as the Prime Minister of India for the third times. Each vote will play a role in empowering the lives of the poor and tribals. Each vote will aid in making Odisha developed and prosperous. The Congress hasn’t done anything for Adivasis, whereas former Prime Minister Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee made a separate Tribal Affairs Minister. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has worked to eradicate Naxalism from Odisha, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. He also paid tribute to Bhagwan Birsa Munda by commemorating his birth anniversary as ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’. Next year, on the 125th anniversary, the Hon’ble Prime Minister plans to celebrate it as ‘Adivasi Gaurav Varsh’ across the country. Keonjhar is known for its rich mineral resources, but the public has not benefited due to the corrupt BJD government. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has established the District Mineral Fund, under which ₹85,000 crore has been allotted.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation highlighted that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has consistently shown respect for and worked towards the pride of Odia culture and literature. He emphasized how Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji appointed Smt. Droupadi Murmu, who comes from a humble tribal background in Odisha, as the President of India. Additionally, during the G20 summit, global leaders were pictured alongside Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji in front of a portrait of the Konark Sun Mandir of Odisha, contributing to the global recognition of this cultural icon. While the Odisha government has neglected the significant Paika Rebellion and the contributions of the Paikas to the independence movement, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has taken steps such as releasing a commemorative coin and postal stamp to honor the Paika Rebellion. The BJD government led by Naveen Patnaik imposed ‘Babushahi’ on Odisha. Naveen Babu has disrespected the culture and self-respect of the Odia people and literature. Shri Shah stated that ‘No Tamil babu cannot rule great Odisha’. I want to say that only a leader born in Odisha who knows the Odia language can efficiently run a government in Odisha and take forward the traditional heritage of Mahaprabhu Jagannath. 

Shri Shah expressed concerns that the BJD government is compromising the culture and traditions of the revered Shri Jagannath temple under the guise of promoting tourism, aiming to transform it into a commercial hub. He highlighted instances where sacred sites and institutions were disrupted and attempts were made to halt the Jagannath Rath Yatra. However, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji ensured that the Yatra continued with its traditional essence intact. Despite being one of India’s most prosperous states, Odisha harbors a significant population living in poverty. The state possesses abundant mineral resources, yet the Naveen Patnaik ‘Babu’s exploits these resources for personal gain. With the BJP government in power, there will be a focus on establishing a robust production chain to ensure that the wealth generated from these minerals benefits the common citizens of Odisha. The BJP is committed to developing Odisha to such an extent that no individual feels compelled to leave their family and migrate to other states in search of employment. He emphasized that under the BJP government, prosperity in Odisha would be ensured through the appointment of a diligent, youthful, and dynamic Chief Minister. The BJD government has a history of neglect and injustice towards the western region of Odisha. However, the BJP has an unwavering commitment to the comprehensive development of every part of the state. In Puri rally, Union Home Minister said that Health schemes, education schemes and infrastructure has derailed in the government of Navin Patnaik.  Navin Patnaik must address the whereabouts of the keys to the Ratna Bhandar. Was a counterfeit key created? Was the Ratna Bhandar opened using this fake key, or was it left untouched? Furthermore, why is the inspection report of the Ratna Bhandar being concealed? If the BJP government assumes power in Odisha, they pledge to swiftly address those responsible for looting the treasure trove within 100 days. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has taken a pledge, ‘Prosperous Odisha, Self-reliant Odisha, and Odisha at the forefront.’

Union Home Minister pointed out that 27 lakh families do not have a home in Odisha even today. When Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji started providing water, until then only three percent of the people here had water, and even today, 26 lakh families do not have water. Even today, 6,400 villages are cut off from roads, 8,000 schools have closed, and our Odisha ranks 29th on the ladder of development. In Odisha, Naveen Patnaik’s government is a “Jhola government”, because when Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji gives 5 kilograms of grain to the poor, Naveen Patnaik takes the credit by putting his name on the bag. 

Shri Shah stated that if the BJP government comes to power, the BJP will showcase the accounts of every penny in the Ratna Bhandar of Prabhu Jagannath before the people of Odisha, through advertisements. The entire evaluation of the Ratna Bhandar will be done by the Reserve Bank of India and made public. Within 90 days of the BJP government coming to power, we will work on rectifying any discrepancies in the provident funds of bidi workers and Tendu Patta Pluckers. The BJP government will also work on converting a 500-bed hospital in Sambalpur into a medical college for the benefit of laborers. The BJP government will implement the “PESA Act” to empower tribal communities and prevent the selling of tribal lands, following the example of the Madhya Pradesh government. Over the past 10 years, ₹2.5 lakh crore has been invested in the oil and gas sector in Sambalpur. An LPG bottling plant has been set up in Balangir, a new production depot has been established in Jharsuguda, and the Paradip refinery is generating revenue of ₹1,500 crore annually. Additionally, a medical college has been built at a cost of ₹1,500 crore, an IIM has been established in Sambalpur, an IIT in Bhubaneswar, an NIT in Rourkela, and the BJP government is working to upgrade the Central University in Koraput at a cost of ₹600 crore to a world-class institution.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation stated that during the Congress regime, only ₹25,000 crore was allotted for the Tribal affairs ministry but the BJP government allotted ₹1,25,000 crore for Tribal affairs. Modi government has established 740 Eklavya Model Residential schools in the country. Around 1,00,000 students are availing education in these schools. Around 40,000 teachers belonging to tribal communities were recruited setting a big milestone of tribal empowerment under the Modi government. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji also established a mission to end sickle cell anemia in the tribal region. A 500-bed hospital will be constructed in Keonjhar and Sambalpur. 

Shri Shah stated that the BJP government will also initiate the teaching of Medical Sciences in Odia language in Odisha. The BJP has declared in its Sankalp Patra that within 18 months, all the accused in the Chit Fund scams will be behind bars. The BJP government will procure rice from farmers at ₹3,100 per quintal and deposit the money into their accounts within 48 hours. Under the Subhadra scheme, women will receive a cash voucher of ₹50,000 within two years. 25 lakh women will benefit from Lakhpati Didi Yojana and every fisherman will receive an annual allowance of ₹10,000. Every weaver will receive a weaver fund of ₹3,000, and the BJP government will provide transparent government jobs to 1.5 lakh youths. Industrial corridors will be established in Rourkela, Sambalpur, Paradip, and Dhamra. IT parks will be set up in Bhubaneswar, Rourkela, Berhampur, and Balasore. Homes will be provided to 15 lakh poor people. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has undertaken numerous initiatives for the welfare of the poor over the past decade. Under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, free ration has been provided to 80 crore people. Additionally, 12 crore toilets have been constructed nationwide.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation pointed out that the Congress party kept the Ram Mandir issue unresolved for 70 years. Following Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s second term, the case was successfully resolved within five years, with the Bhoomi Poojan ceremony conducted, and the Pran Pratishtha of the Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22nd. When the whole country was immersed in the celebration of Ram Navami, the government of the BJD in Odisha used to prevent Ram devotees from participating in the festivities. Shri Shah appealed to the people of Odisha, saying that this time, by electing a government with an absolute majority, give BJP a chance; we will work to improve the future of Odisha. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has worked to make this country safe and prosperous. Article 370 had been in place in Kashmir for so many years, leading to an increase in terrorism. However, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji ended Article 370, thereby working to free the country from terrorism. The upcoming 25 years are crucial for India. Congress and the BJD cannot protect the country from epidemics like Corona, cannot give Pakistan a befitting reply, and cannot even take Chandrayaan to the moon. Only Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji can accomplish these tasks.

Shri Shah stated that Naveen Babu has made Odisha backward in 25 years. Twenty-five lakh people in Odisha still do not have a home, and approximately 26 lakh houses here lack access to drinking water. Forming a BJP government today, within two years, the BJP will ensure that every person has a house and access to drinking water. Wherever there is a BJP government, the price for paddy crops is ₹3,100 per quintal, but Naveen Babu does not provide this to farmers. After the BJP’s victory, the government will ensure ₹3,100 per quintal for paddy crops. As Naveen Patnaik has grown older, he is unable to provide government jobs for Adivasi people. However, a youthful and dynamic BJP Chief Minister will ensure 1.50 lakh government jobs for Adivasi youth. Industrial corridors will be built in Rourkela and Sambalpur, and IT parks will be established in Bhubaneswar, Rourkela, Brahmapur, and Balasore. More than 15 lakh houses will be constructed, and the government will also provide ₹5 lakh health coverage under Ayushman Bharat. The public has entrusted Naveen Babu for 25 years; now, give just 5 years to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, and we will elevate Odisha to become the number one state in India.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation, while addressing the people of Odisha, urged them by stating that the current administration in Odisha, led by Naveen Patnaik, does not do anything for the state and that it is the Babu culture that is running Odisha. Therefore, this time, the people of Odisha should elect a leader of the soil as their Chief Minister because governance cannot be run through dynastic rule, and only the BJP government can accomplish this task. Shri Shah appealed to the people to vote for local BJP legislators and MP candidates to establish a double-engine BJP government in Odisha.

Lok Sabha election 2024 campaigning gathers pace as PM Modi, the NDA’s star campaigner, intensifies efforts ahead of the 5th phase. Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a euphoric crowd in Jhargram, West Bengal, delivering a message that resonated all the way to Tamluk. He promised to improve the state’s declining situation through his tireless efforts.

In his address to the people, PM Modi highlighted the desperation within the TMC as they faced inevitable defeat. The PM remarked “Despite their attempts to rally support, the people of Bengal are not swayed. Seeing their downfall, TMC resorts to abusing the BJP and threatening the public. Yesterday they attacked Congress, but today they claim to be part of the INDI Alliance. The people of Bengal are wise; they see Congress as a sinking ship and know TMC’s vessel is also leaking. Even if they cling to each other, they will still drown.”

PM Modi emphasized the country’s rejection of those who held India back for decades. He reminded the nation of the Congress government’s record of scams while the world advanced. “For 60 years, they chanted slogans of eradicating poverty, yet failed to deliver. The country knows it is Modi who made India the world’s fifth-largest economy, lifted 25 crore people out of poverty, and resolved long-standing issues. Article 370 was removed, terrorism buried in Kashmir, Pakistan given a fitting response, Naxalism broken, and corruption curbed. This son of the poor is dedicated to the welfare of every citizen,” he added.

Calling out loudly against the damaging anti-development policies of TMC, PM Modi remarked, “Government jobs are under the grip of TMC’s syndicate. There’s a rate card for jobs. Have you seen how they looted in the Teacher Recruitment Scam? I assure you… The end of this looting will come with the press of the lotus button.”

“In our schools, temples of education, they did not spare even those. TMC ministers openly sold jobs, jeopardizing the future of our new generation. Do you know who is protecting these scams? Who is shielding the accused of corruption? Who is preventing CBI from doing its job,” he added.

In a sharp critique of TMC, PM Modi said, ” TMC poses a threat not only to the people of Bengal but also to Bengal’s identity. Today, the entire country is concerned about Bengal. Every day there is violence in Bengal… BJP karyakartas are attacked. Even in Jhargram, BJP karyakartas were murdered. Communal riots are becoming common in Bengal. There are attempts to erase the identity of tribal brothers and sisters.”

PM Modi criticized the current government for welcoming infiltrators, stating, “TMC is concerned only about its vote bank. They are allowing infiltrators to settle in Bengal, leading to a decline in the population of Bengal’s border areas. These infiltrators come into our country and occupy the lands of our Dalits, backward classes, and tribals.”

Furthermore, he said, “TMC and Congress together want to legalize the occupation of infiltrators. The Congress party is saying they will investigate everyone’s property. Then they will give your money, your land to their vote bank. Do you accept this? Will you let this happen?”

Slamming the opposition, PM Modi stated, “Baba Saheb Ambedkar opposed religion-based reservations, a misconception of our Constitution. Despite this, the Congress-led alliance seeks to provide reservations to SC, ST, OBC across the country for electoral gains. They have revoked OBC reservations in Karnataka, reallocating them to Muslims. On April 23rd, I challenged Congress and the INDI alliance, demanding a commitment that they won’t revoke SC, ST, OBC reservations or grant reservations to Muslims. Since then, they have fallen silent out of fear.”

Unveiling the bitter truths, PM Modi exposed the grim realities of the Congress party, the PM said, “I have just seen a video of Congress Shehzada on social media today. In this video, the Congress Shehzada openly says that Congress will give reservations to Muslims. On one hand, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh kept saying repeatedly that Muslims have the first right to the country’s resources… and on the other hand, controlling the government remotely, the Shehzada is banging the rhythm to say that Congress will give reservations to Muslims. This is the truth of Congress, they will give reservations to Muslims and that too, by taking away reservations of SC, ST, OBC. In this 2024 election, Modi has removed the veil of Congress’s Muslim league thought and exposed it. That’s why these people are restless.”

PM Modi lashed out at the TMC, stating, “In Bengal, TMC is responsible for attacking your faith. TMC leaders deem the Ram Mandir unholy and the government halts Ram Navami celebrations. TMC goons orchestrate attacks on Ram Navami processions. The Chief Minister herself threatens Hindu saints. Ramakrishna Mission, ISKCON, Bharat Sevashram, pillars of Bengal’s spirituality, face threats from the CM’s platform. This intimidation emboldens TMC goons further. Recently, vandalism at Ramakrishna Mission ashram in Jalpaiguri highlights the escalating situation. Threats to Ramakrishna Mission in Bengal, vandalism in ashrams – no one ever imagined this. But to appease their vote bank, the TMC government is crossing all limits.”

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi made a heartfelt request to the people of Jhargram. He urged every voter to support the BJP for a developed Bengal and to vote for progress and prosperity. The PM emphasized that their support would elevate Bengal to new heights. He promised to work tirelessly to fulfil their dreams. He encouraged the crowd to visit every village, spreading his greetings and gratitude.

The campaigning for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 as well as the State Assembly Election has gained momentum as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed two public meetings in Dhenkanal and Cuttack, Odisha. Addressing the huge gathering, the PM stated, “BJD has given nothing to Odisha. Farmers, youth and Adivasis are still struggling for a better life. People who have destroyed Odisha should not be forgiven.”

Kickstarting the rally, PM Modi said, “During this election time, many experts from around the world are traveling across the country, gauging the pulse of Indian voters. Everyone is surprised and astonished by the public support and blessings. Everyone wants to bring back the Modi government for a third time, especially with the high enthusiasm of our mothers, sisters, and youth. Here, one slogan resonates: For the first time in Odisha… a double engine government!”

Seeing the sorry state of affairs in Odisha, PM Modi said, “Why are the people of such a prosperous Odisha so poor? The reason is the BJD government. Even small leaders in the BJD have become millionaires. The BJD government of Odisha has not let you benefit from the state’s mineral wealth. Modi has created a new mining policy. Under this, Odisha gets more royalty. Modi has created a District Mineral Fund… so that a portion of every mineral extracted here is used for local development.”

Questioning the Ratna Bhandar’s missing keys, PM Modi stated, “In the BJD government, even the temple of Lord Jagannath is not safe. For the last six years, there has been no trace of the key to the Shri Ratna Bhandar. A big secret behind this is being hidden by the BJD government and close associates of the Chief Minister. The entire Odisha wants to know what is in the investigation report that the BJD has suppressed it. The silence of the BJD is deepening people’s suspicion. I assure you today that as soon as the BJP government is formed in Odisha, the truth will come out. The BJP government will make the investigation report public.”

“Those who are not sensitive to the heritage of Odisha cannot protect it either. Only the children of Odisha can drive the rapid development of Odisha. That is why Modi has given you a guarantee. Form a BJP government here, and the BJP will make a son or daughter of Odisha the Chief Minister of Odisha. And you know the date of the swearing-in ceremony, right? June 10th… On June 10th, the double-engine government will take the oath here,” he added.

Coming down heavily on the BJD, PM Modi remarked, “For the first time, the BJD government’s flaws are being exposed to the entire nation. The state government is completely neglectful of tribal interests. We have created the Van Dhan Yojana for tribal families, purchasing forest products at MSP. There are over 3,500 Van Dhan centers across the country, with nearly 200 in Odisha, buying over 80 forest products at MSP. But what does the BJD government do? It doesn’t even give you the correct MSP for forest produce. It’s been 25 years, and the BJD government hasn’t implemented the PESA Act for tribal land rights, leaving many issues unresolved.”

Further illustrating the BJD government’s lax attitude, PM Modi asserted, “For instance, Modi sends money from Delhi to provide you with free rice, but BJD officials put their photos on it and sell your share outside. Therefore, the BJP has devised a significant plan for the women of Odisha. The Subhadra Yojana will greatly assist every sister in Odisha. Modi is also working to reduce your electricity bills to zero. The PM Surya Ghar-Muft Bijli Yojana is expanding rapidly, with the Modi government providing over ₹75,000 for solar panels on your homes, allowing you to use up to 300 units of free electricity and earn from the surplus.”

In his second public meeting in Cuttack, the PM criticized the BJD, stating, “Odisha is tired of their corruption. They deceive the poor with scams like chit-funds. What has the BJD delivered? Land, sand, coal, and mining mafias thrive under their MLAs and ministers. How can infrastructure, investment, and jobs flourish under such conditions?”

Speaking at the event, PM Modi said, “Modi government is focusing on education, skill development, and building a self-reliant India. In the last 10 years, Odisha has received institutions like IIM, IISER Berhampur and Institute of Chemical Technology – Bhubaneswar. Many such institutions have been established. From technology and textiles to ethanol, the Modi government has set ambitious goals in every sector.”

Also, PM Modi spoke about development and heritage, which are part of the BJP’s agenda. He mentioned the G-20 summit held in Delhi, where world leaders posed for photos in front of the chariot wheel of the Konark Sun Temple. This event brought Konark’s glory to the entire world.

“To ensure a double-engine government in Odisha, elect BJP candidates as MLAs and MPs, and send them to Bhubaneswar and Delhi respectively. Also, I urge you all to go door to door and convey Modi Ji’s greetings and respects to everyone,” said the PM.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah addressed public meetings in Karnal, Hisar and Jhajjar, Haryana on Monday. Shri Amit Shah criticized the previous corrupt Congress government and highlighted various beneficial schemes for farmers in Haryana, initiated by the BJP government. During the event, Haryana Chief Minister Shri Nayab Singh Saini, former Haryana CM and Karnal Lok Sabha Candidate Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Rajya Sabha MP Shri Kartikey Sharma, BJP National Secretary Shri Om Prakash Dhankar, Rajasthan MLA Baba Balaknath, Hisar Lok Sabha candidate Shri Ranjit Singh Chautala, and Jhajjar Lok Sabha candidate Shri Arvind Sharma, along with others, were present.

He began his address by paying respects to Manjit Singh Gurudwara, Puccapur Dham and Chulkana Dham. Haryana is one of the few states in the country that significantly contributes to ending hunger in India, emphasizing that the granaries of the nation are filled due to the immense contribution of Haryana’s farmers. The responsibility of safeguarding the nation’s borders is undertaken by the soldiers from Haryana. Additionally, in any sport, whether played nationally or internationally, Haryana’s “Dhakkad” athletes are prominently seen at the top of the medal tally.

Shri Shah praised Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for making substantial efforts in these areas. The long-pending issue of “One Rank One Pension” was addressed by the esteemed Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, who resolved it in his first term in 2014.He criticized former Haryana Chief Minister and INC leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda, questioning why the OROP issue remained unresolved during the Congress government’s 40-year tenure. Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for providing the much-needed OROP to the soldiers and their families, a feat unaccomplished by the previous administration. 

Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation stated that for sports, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has provided extensive infrastructure, facilities, transparent selection processes and international training, which have greatly benefited Haryana’s athletes. Shri Manohar Lal Khattar served as Haryana’s Chief Minister for ten years, dedicating himself to the state’s service. Now, the party has decided that he will serve the nation and BJP in Delhi. Under Shri Manohar Lal Khattar’s leadership, the practice of selling government jobs in Haryana was abolished. Young people receiving appointment letters in every village are a testament to his work. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji there has been establishment of seven IITs and seven IIMs nationwide. Furthermore, the nation has witnessed the establishment of 15 new AIIMS, 390 universities, and 700 medical colleges, all of which have contributed to its development and Haryana has also received many benefits.

Shri Shah highlighted the contributions of Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, mentioning that he provided 12 expressways, 77 colleges, 13 universities, eight medical colleges, two airports, and initiated the opening of 16 new hospitals. In the span of ten years, the BJP has worked towards the development of Haryana. The comprehensive development initiatives taken by Shri Khattar, under the guidance of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, have significantly advanced Haryana’s progress.

Union Home Minister highlighted that in the past, Haryana was trapped in a cycle of corruption and nepotism. When one family came to power, corruption would reach its peak, and when another family took over, nepotism and hooliganism would cross all limits. Shri Manohar Lal Khattar ended corruption and nepotism in the state. Previously, the Chief Minister’s focused only on the development of Rohtak and Sirsa, but for the first time, a Chief Minister emerged who worked for the development of the entire state of Haryana. Shri Manohar Lal Khattar undertook the development of the whole state, addressing the concerns of all communities. 

Shri Shah emphasized that the leadership mantle has now been passed to Shri Nayab Singh Saini, who continues the development work initiated by Shri Manohar Lal Khattar. The comprehensive efforts to eliminate corruption, nepotism and to ensure inclusive development have significantly transformed Haryana. Shri Shah praised the effective governance and development strategies that have brought progress to all parts of the state.

 Union Home Minister emphasized that Kashmir is an integral part of India. He criticized AICC Leader Mallikarjun Kharge for questioning the connection between the people of Rajasthan and Haryana with Kashmir, asserting that every child in Haryana is ready to lay down their life for Kashmir. Congress leaders who suggest showing respect to Pakistan and refraining from claiming PoK because Pakistan has nuclear weapons, specifically referring to Manishankar Aiyar. Addressing Rahul Gandhi from the land of Angraj Karna in Karnal, Shri Amit Shah stated that regardless of Congress’s stance, the BJP government asserts that PoK was, is, and will remain a part of India. Congress party of keeping Article 370 intact for 70 years for appeasement politics, which led to increased terrorism. However, when the people elected Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji for a second term, he abolished Article 370 on August 5, 2019, and now the Indian tricolor flies proudly in Kashmir.

Shri Shah highlighted that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji elevated India’s economy from the 11th to the 5th position globally, and if elected again Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji aims to bring it to the 3rd position. Ram Mandir issue, stating that the Congress party kept it unresolved for 70 years, but when Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji was re-elected, the case was won, and the foundation ceremony was conducted. On January 22, the temple performed “Pran Pratishtha” with chants of “Jai Shree Ram”. Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, for not attending the Ram Utsav despite invitations due to their fear of losing their minority vote bank. In contrast, BJP leaders, unafraid of such consequences, not only supported the Ram Mandir but also restored the Kashi Vishwanath temple, which was demolished by Aurangzeb, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji.

Union Home Minister stated that the Congress only talks about the poor but does nothing for their welfare. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi talks about farmers but insulted Shri Jagdeep Dankar, a farmer’s son who is a representative leader for the Jaat farmers. Before the Modi-led government came to power, the Congress government’s budget for farmers was ₹22,000 crore. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji increased this to ₹1,25,000 crore. Shri Manohar Lal Khattar has worked towards providing Minimum Support Price to farmers for all crops by including all crops under the Bhavantar Yojana. 

Shri Shah emphasized the development projects initiated by the Bharatiya Janata Party government for the advancement of Karnal. Karnal has been transformed into a smart city.

Vigyan University has been established with a cost of ₹760 crore and Medical University has been established. Under the Bharat Parimala scheme, Ring Road has been constructed at a cost of ₹1,800 crore. Under-bridges for railways have been constructed at a cost of ₹300 crore. The initiation of Rapid Rail will be done. Additionally, the Mod-ledi government is also working on building a museum in Panipat. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, 1 lakh 33 thousand poor households in Karnal Vidhan Sabha were provided Nal se Jal. 40 affordable medicine shops were opened for the poor under PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra Yojana, and toilets were constructed for 40 thousand poor individuals. Additionally, 36 thousand women were provided gas cylinders, and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji initiated the distribution of 5 kg of grains per person per month for free to 20 lakh people.

Union Home Minister stated that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has vaccinated 130 crore citizens, ensuring protection against COVID-19. During the pandemic, Congress and Rahul Gandhi indulged in politics, attempting to mislead the public. However, when people across the country got vaccinated, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi also got vaccinated. When a crisis hits the country, everyone comes together to face it, but Rahul Gandhi introduced low-level politics during the COVID-19 pandemic. INDI alliance is contesting the elections, but they don’t have a candidate for the Prime Minister’s position. INDI alliance lacks both leadership and policy. The leaders of the INDI alliance have made plans to take turns becoming Prime Minister. 

Shri Shah stated that the Prime Minister of a country with 130 crore citizens should be someone who gives a befitting reply to Pakistan, ensures safety from COVID, ends triple talaq, retrieves Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, ends Naxalism, implements the Uniform Civil Code, and takes India to the forefront globally. The entire country, including all regions like the North, South, East and West, believes that the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji is the most effective representative for the country. The chant of “Modi-Modi” is now emblematic of national progress. Only Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, can lead the nation towards complete development, making Bharat Atmanirbhar, prosperous, educated and technologically advanced. 

Union Home Minister said that during its rule, the Congress Party was involved in various scams, including the Bofors scam, helicopter scam, army vehicle scam, farmers’ fertilizer scam, rice scam and Commonwealth scam. He accused the Congress Party of only working to benefit itself during its time in power. Highlighting that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji purchased grains worth ₹20 lakh crore from farmers at support prices. Since independence, the Modi-led government has bought the most food grains at support prices. Hon’ble Prime Minister has tripled the sports budget and is preparing to bring the Olympic Games to India by 2036. 

Shri Shah stated that there are two camps in the upcoming elections. On one side is the Congress Party, which has committed scams amounting to ₹12 lakh crore. On the other side is Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, who has not been accused of even 25 paisa in corruption despite being in politics for 23 years. Shri Shah contrasted Rahul Gandhi, born with a silver spoon, with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, who was born into a poor tea seller’s family.  Shri Shah also pointed out the difference in dedication between the two leaders. He mentioned that Rahul Gandhi goes to Thailand for a holiday as soon as it gets a little hot, while Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji does not take leave even on Diwali, choosing instead to celebrate the festival at the border with army personnel. Shri Amit Shah highlighted that four phases of voting have been completed in the country, and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has already secured a majority by crossing 270 seats, now moving towards achieving 400 seats. 

Union Home Minister stated that Rahul Gandhi, referred to as Rahul Gandhi, is not even going to secure 40 seats and the entire INDI Alliance is going to be wiped out. He remarked that before the 2024 elections, Rahul Gandhi conducted the Bharat Jodo Yatra, but after the June 4 elections, he will need to conduct a Congress Khojo Yatra as the Congress Party will be nowhere to be seen, not even with binoculars. Expressed confidence that in the 2024 elections, the lotus of development will bloom across Haryana, from Sirsa to Sonipat and from Panchkula to Palwal.

Shri Shah highlighted Haryana’s impressive economic achievements, noting its 8% growth rate and status as the top GST collector per capita among states. Haryana’s leading position in Ease of Doing business, boasting 400 offices of Fortune 500 companies situated in Gurugram. Furthermore, Haryana’s agricultural prowess, ranking second in the country, third in milk production, and offering the highest number of social security pensions nationwide. Additionally, Haryana tops the list for health facilities and is a leader in automobile and tractor manufacturing. The previous Congress administration of Bhupendra Hooda of favoritism towards his son-in-law and neglecting the common people of Haryana. He contrasted this with the transformative governance under Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, which has ensured essential amenities like water, toilets and gas cylinders for all households. 

Union Home Minister said that under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, India has emerged as the pharmacy of the world, Shri Shah remarked. He praised Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji efforts in safely rescuing Indian citizens from war zones and highlighted India’s technological advancements, such as the widely recognized Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and the successful Chandrayaan mission to the moon. Shri Shah criticized the Congress party’s resort to spreading falsehoods, particularly their claim that BJP’s victory would lead to the removal of reservation policies. He assured that as long as there is a single BJP MP, reservation policies will remain intact. Moreover, Shri Shah asserted that the BJP government aims to address what they perceive as unconstitutional reservation policies for Muslims, which were implemented by the Congress Party.

Shri Shah emphasized that Sonia Gandhi’s goal is to elevate her son to the position of Prime Minister, while Bhupendra Hooda aims for his son to become Chief Minister. Those who pursue political careers solely for their children’s advancement neglect the development of the nation’s youth. Only Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji possesses the capability to drive both the nation and Haryana forward. Shri Shah highlighted that under the leadership of the Modi government, Haryana has seen the construction of 21 new national highways, the establishment of AIIMS in Rewari, the extension of IIT Delhi in Jhajjar, the construction of a cancer hospital in Barsa costing Rs 2000 crore, and the creation of the largest bus station in the Jhajjar district, with a cost of Rs 24 crore.

Shri Shah stated that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has a special connection with Haryana. The Congress-led UPA government sent only ₹41,000 crore to Haryana in 10 years, while the Modi-led government provided ₹2,70,000 crore to Haryana in the last 10 years. Under the leadership of Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, the BJP government has propelled the development wagon to its destination, and now the young Chief Minister Shri Nayaab Singh Saini will ensure it reaches the station. Shri Amit Shah appealed for the victory of the BJP on all seats in Haryana and for the formation of the Modi government for the third time.

In dynamic public meetings held in Purulia, Bishnupur & Medinipur, West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a large gathering, emphasizing the failures of the INDI alliance and the commitment of the BJP towards the development and upliftment of the region. The Prime Minister outlined the significant discrepancies between the promises made by the TMC and their actions, particularly highlighting issues related to water scarcity, reservations, and corruption.

Addressing the issue of reservations, PM Modi accused the INDI alliance of attempting to undermine the rights of Dalits, backward classes, and tribals. He asserted, “TMC and its allies want to take away the reservations given to Dalits, backward classes, and tribals. Babasaheb Ambedkar was against reservations based on religion. But today, the INDI alliance wants to provide reservations based on religion.” PM Modi warned that such actions, including the reallocation of OBC quota reservations to Muslims in Karnataka, pose a threat to the established reservation system.

PM Modi also touched upon the safety and dignity of women in Bengal. He expressed concern over incidents like the one in Sandeshkhali, where he alleged that TMC members were involved in crimes against women, particularly from SC/ST communities. “The crime in Sandeshkhali has forced the sisters of Bengal to think. TMC people do not even consider the sisters of SC/ST families as human,” Modi remarked. He urged the women of Bengal to respond to such injustices through their votes.

The Prime Minister strongly condemned the corruption within TMC and Congress, drawing parallels between the two parties. “Whether it is TMC or Congress, they are two sides of the same coin. Look at how mountains of cash are found with Congress ministers and MPs. Similarly, mountains of cash are found with TMC leaders and ministers,” he stated. PM Modi assured the public that after June 4th, his administration would intensify its actions against corruption, ensuring that the looted money is returned to the victims.

Highlighting the BJP’s efforts to alleviate this issue, he mentioned that over the past 5-6 years, more than 12 crore homes have been connected with tap water. However, he criticized the TMC government for hindering this campaign in areas like Purulia, contrasting it with BJP-led states like Uttar Pradesh, where 30,000 homes are being provided with tap connections daily, compared to less than 5,000 in Bengal.

“When Swami Vivekananda went abroad and spoke about India, lakhs of people became his devotees. But there was also a section that hated India. They insulted Swami Vivekananda and tried to intimidate him. But Swami Vivekananda was on a mission for Mother India and was not one to be scared. Today, a similar situation is happening on the soil of Bengal. The TMC government, which instigates fear, intimidation, and violence during elections, has crossed all limits this time,” said PM Modi underlining TMC’s intentions and its governance model.

“Today, ISKCON, Ram Krishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangh are known for service and morality in the country and the world. But today the Chief Minister of Bengal is openly threatening them… warning them from an open stage! There are lakhs of followers associated with these missions all over the world, their aim is only and only to serve the people… But the Bengal government has pointed a finger at them, threatening them by taking their name! So much courage, just to please its vote bank! To please them, TMC has stooped to such a low level,” he added.

Emphasizing the BJP’s commitment to preserving and promoting cultural heritage, PM Modi praised the Chhau dance of Purulia and highlighted the GI tag awarded to Chhau masks under the BJP’s efforts. “Purulia and its famous Chhau dance are well-known. It was the BJP that gave the Chhau mask a GI tag, linking it to Purulia’s identity,” he noted. Furthermore, PM Modi mentioned ongoing infrastructure projects, including the revamping of Purulia Railway Station and the introduction of Vande Bharat trains, to enhance regional connectivity.

PM Modi called upon the people of Bengal to make a decisive choice in the upcoming elections and urged them to spread the message of development and integrity. “The people of Bengal have made up their minds to clean TMC this time. The trends are already beginning to show this,” he declared. Emphasizing the significance of the upcoming elections, he said, “The country will develop when Bengal develops. Every vote cast for the lotus will directly strengthen Modi.”

Addressing his second gathering in Bishnupur, West Bengal, PM Modi reiterated his commitment to serving the people of West Bengal and the nation, stating, “Modi is just a means, a facilitator. Modi, considering your dreams as his resolution, has emerged. Your dreams are Modi’s resolution. Your dreams, Modi’s determination.”

“Whether it’s TMC, Congress, or the Left. These parties are three, but their sins are the same. That’s why they have formed an unholy alliance. They have always only given slogans to the poor, laborers, SC/ST, and women. But wherever they have ruled, They have left those states impoverished. West Bengal is the latest example of this. Once people used to come to Bengal from other states for employment,” said PM Modi lamenting INDI Alliance’s misgovernance in West Bengal and other states.

Touching upon the failures of the incumbent government in West Bengal, PM Modi criticized the TMC, Congress, and Left parties for their track record of corruption, violence, and neglect of the state’s development. He underscored the need for change and urged the electorate to reject the politics of appeasement and vote for a brighter future. He also highlighted various initiatives undertaken by the central government for the welfare and empowerment of women, including reservation in Parliament and Assembly. He assured the people of West Bengal that the BJP is committed to their well-being and progress.

PM Modi, during his third public meeting in Medinipur, West Bengal, condemned the TMC’s actions, accusing them of corruption, terror, and appeasement politics, and said, “In Bengal, TMC means, terror, corruption, and appeasement. To keep their vote bank happy, they are continuously insulting Hindu society and the Hindu faith. A TMC MLA had said that Hindus should be drowned in the Bhagirathi. Saints advised TMC leaders not to engage in such politics. In response, the Chief Minister crossed all limits. She made disgusting accusations against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, and Bharat Sevashram insulting the saintly community.”

PM Modi also highlighted the security concerns and demographic changes caused by illegal infiltrators, criticizing the TMC for prioritizing their vote bank over the safety and identity of Bengal. He said, “TMC’s appeasement has disrupted the demography in Bengal. TMC calls people from other states outsiders. But illegal infiltrators seem like their own to them. Tell me. What is the bigger threat to Bengal? Are infiltrators not a threat to Bengal? Are these infiltrators not disturbing the population balance in Bengal? Have Hindus not become minorities in many areas? Are infiltrators not occupying the lands of Dalits, backward classes, and tribals? Is the safety of our sisters and daughters not at risk?”

Underscoring his commitment to a successful implementation of CAA, PM Modi said, “CAA is a law to grant citizenship. However, TMC has been lying, claiming that if the CAA form is filled, citizenship will be lost. But now their lies have been exposed. Just 4 days ago, more than 300 refugees were granted citizenship. I want to tell the TMC people. CAA is Modi’s guarantee. Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, and Christian minorities will be granted citizenship. And the terror of illegal infiltrators will be stopped.”

PM Modi in his concluding address emphasized the need for a strong BJP government to counteract TMC’s conspiracies and ensure the prosperity and security of Bengal.
