Congress Party strengthen the forces that divide the country, break the society and weaken the nation: Jagat Prakash Nadda

| Published on:

Hon’ble Bharatiya Janata Party National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed a public meeting in Dahod and Matdata Samvad in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on Friday. Shri Nadda highlighted the development works accomplished under the BJP rule, led by Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, and accused the Congress Party of jeopardizing the security of the state and the country for the sake of vote bank politics. During the event, State Vice President Shri Gordhanbhai Zadafia, General Secretary Shri Rajni Patel, Karnavati Mahanagar President Shri Amit Shahdahod, Dahod Candidate ShriJasvantsinh Bhabhor and other leaders were present on the stage.

Shri Nadda declared his mission to secure victory from the people for Shri Jawant Singh Bhabhor, emphasizing that this election held a larger purpose beyond just Shri Bhabhor. Bharatiya Janata Party’s foundation rested on Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership, aimed at advancing the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat.’ The significant transformation in India’s political landscape over the past ten years under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s tenure. Congress’s politics revolved around caste, religion, and appeasement, fostering conflicts between castes, communities and creating vote banks. However, since Shri Narendra Modi Ji assumed office, there has been a paradigm shift towards development and accountability-oriented politics. Under the leadership of PM Shri Modi Ji, politics has become proactive and pro responsive. Gujarat has consistently provided leadership to the country in various aspects. It has been at the forefront among states in producing saints, social reformers, and advocates for social justice. India achieved independence under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, and the process of unification began under the leadership of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, both hailing from Gujarat.

Hon’ble BJP National President stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, India has transformed from being a nation that used to beg to a self-reliant India. India today stands not as a nation seeking help, but as an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, has shifted from being a nation concerned about the last person standing in the line to one that practices the politics of reforms, performance, and transformation. The approach is now about bringing change first, working on that change, and then transforming the nation through that change. While all parties engaged in politics with the tribal communities, it was only the BJP that refrained from politics and worked towards changing their image and destiny, thereby restoring their self-respect. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji is being invited to attend major global forums, underscoring his status as a respected global leader. With his leadership, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji is playing a pivotal role in shaping the global agenda. Today, with great pride, it can be said that after 70 years, nobody had ever suggested making a tribal woman the first citizen of the country. This remarkable initiative was undertaken by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, thus giving her the dignity of becoming the President of India. There is immense honor and pride, and a significant voice echoing not only in India but throughout the world, the tribal population has received respect, and this has happened solely under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Until 10 years ago, whenever India was discussed on the international stage, Pakistan was often mentioned in the same breath. However, thanks to the efficient and effective leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, India’s name is now associated with pride and progress, independent of Pakistan. During Congress rule, discussions with leaders of other countries often revolved around terrorist encounters between India and Pakistan. Under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership, the conversation has shifted towards topics like semiconductor manufacturing and digitalization, reflecting India’s advancements in technology and innovation.

Shri Nadda highlighted that on November 15th, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji decided to celebrate National Tribal Day and pay respect to Bhagwan Birsa Munda. The budget for tribal welfare has also been increased threefold. In the Eklavya residential school, the budget has been raised by 21 times, ensuring better education access for tribal children. Additionally, 1.5 crore toilets have been constructed in tribal areas, empowering both women and tribals. Under the PM-JANMAM initiative, approximately ₹24 thousand crore is being allocated. Vandhan Kendras are creating new opportunities for tribal producers, and Van Dhan Vikas Kendra has received an allocation of ₹4 thousand crore, with ₹400 crore already disbursed for people’s development. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana was initiated, providing farmers with Rs 2,000 every month. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has issued orders for immediate action by the Army when necessary. Under the Modi Ji government, an all-weather road has been constructed from Arunachal Pradesh to Ladakh, enabling the country’s army to reach any border area within a day. India, which once lacked bulletproof jackets, is now manufacturing them, along with helicopters and fighter planes, showcasing significant advancements in defense manufacturing capabilities.

Hon’ble BJP National President highlighted that India has made remarkable strides, moving from the 11th to the 5th largest economy globally, surpassing countries like Britain. Under PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership, India is poised to become the world’s third-largest economy within 2 years. After the Corona period and the Russia-Ukraine war, the economies of all countries are facing uncertainty and instability, but under PM Shri Modi Ji’s leadership, India’s economy is now considered a bright spot by the world. 

Shri Nadda highlighted that India ranks second in the pharmaceutical industry, offering effective and affordable medicines, with export figures soaring by 138 percent. India has also surpassed Japan to become the third-largest automobile producer, with ambitions to surpass both the US and China in the coming years. The petrochemicals sector has experienced remarkable growth, with exports increasing by 106 percent. In the manufacturing of toys, India now holds the third position globally. India has climbed to the second position in steel production from fourth. Moreover, with the ‘Made in India’ initiative, 97% of mobile phones are now manufactured domestically, and India has become the second-largest exporter globally. In the last 5 years, approximately 55 thousand kilometers of national highways have been constructed, alongside the electrification of 52 thousand kilometers of railway tracks. In Saurashtra, AIIMS has been established, highways are under construction, and development initiatives are underway. Prime Minister Shri Modi Ji has brought about transformation in villages, uplifted the poor, marginalized, and oppressed, while also empowering youth, women, and farmers. Through the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, free food grains have been distributed to 3 crore 40 lakh people in Gujarat and 80 crore people across the nation. These initiatives have lifted over 25 crore people above the poverty line. Additionally, under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 4 crore concrete houses have been provided to people, with approximately 40-50 houses constructed in each village. Prime Minister Shri Modi Ji has pledged that under his third term, an additional 3 crore concrete houses will be constructed. Under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, 55 crore poor individuals received health cover of ₹5 lakh annually for the treatment of severe illnesses. The BJP has pledged to provide healthcare facilities worth ₹5 lakh annually to all individuals aged 70 and above, as well as individuals from the transgender community, irrespective of their caste, religion, or income group. Prime Minister Shri Modi Ji has also pledged to make 3 crore ‘Lakhpati Didis’. Additionally, under the women’s reservation act, 33 percent of all seats in Lok Sabha and State legislative assemblies will be reserved for women. The Modi Ji government established 7 new IIM’s and 7 new IIT’s, significantly expanding the educational infrastructure in the country. The number of AIIMS institutions has tripled under their leadership.

Hon’ble BJP National President highlighted that it took 25 years for Tuberculosis medicine, 28 years for Tetanus medicine, and 100 years for Japanese encephalitis medicine to be introduced in the country. In contrast, under PM Shri Modi Ji’s leadership, two doses for Corona vaccine were developed within just 9 months, demonstrating a remarkable feat in ensuring India’s security. During the Corona period, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji emphasized ‘Jaan Hai toh Jahan Hai’. Taking a bold decision, he imposed a nationwide lockdown, preparing India to combat the pandemic within just 2 months. In the future, India aims to become a global market for food grains.

Shri Nadda highlighted that Gujarat is fortunate to have two semiconductor units established in Dholera and Sanand, totaling three units in India with one in Assam and two in Gujarat. Additionally, six cities in the state have been designated as smart cities, with ₹11,400 crore allocated for their development, including Dahod. There has been a 24-fold increase in the budget for rail infrastructure, and plans are underway for bullet trains to operate between Ahmedabad and Mumbai in the next five years. The metro in Ahmedabad has also been operationalized, along with the opening of eight new airports and the construction of Surat’s new airport. Ahmedabad is being connected to Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai through corridors. Furthermore, the Sudarshan Setu, the longest cable bridge, has been operationalized by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. An investment of ₹840 crore is being made in Dahod’s water supply, and a 9000 HP Electric Locomotive production unit is being established in the region, creating 20 thousand direct and over 1 lakh indirect employment opportunities.

Hon’ble BJP National President stated that the opposition INDI alliance doesn’t care about the people of the country, they are in politics for their family. PM Shri Modi Ji has a progressive vision, while the INDI alliance relies on dynastic politics. While PM Shri Modi Ji advocates for “Bhrashtachar Hatao”, the INDI alliance focuses on “Bharashtachariyon ko Bachao”. In BJP, individuals come from humble backgrounds, but in the INDI alliance, nepotism and dynastic politics are prevalent. Shri Nadda underscored the prevalence of dynastic politics within the INDI Alliance, citing examples such as Farooq Abdullah, Umar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, the Chautala family, the Badal family, Mulayam Singh, Dimple Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav, Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav, and Tej Pratap Yadav. The familial nature of Mamata Banerjee’s party, represented by Abhishek Banerjee, as well as KCR, KTM, and Kavitha’s factions. Furthermore, the involvement of the Thackeray family with Uddhav Thackeray and Aditya Thackeray, and the Gandhi family’s influence, including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi. These political figures prioritize their own and their family’s interests over the welfare of the people, lacking genuine connections with the electorate.

Shri Nadda asserted that all these parties are centered around families, and they are all corrupt. Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Sanjay Singh, Lalu Yadav, TMC and DMK leaders are out on bail, while Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, Azam Khan, TMC and DMK leaders are in jail. ‘INDI Alliance’ of corrupt individuals and stated that the public won’t let such people come forward.   INDI Alliance for being against Sanatan and the nation. He cited instances like Uday Nidhi Stalin calling Sanatan as diseases like dengue and malaria, and A. Raja likened it to HIV.  Such people should not be allowed to lead. INDI Alliance for being anti-national, referring to slogans like “Afzal Hum Sharminda Hain, Tere Qatil Zinda Hain” raised at Jawaharlal Nehru University. He linked Rahul Gandhi’s association with them to their lack of respect for the nation and its interests.

Hon’ble BJP National President stated that they used to say “Bharat Tere Tukde Honge, Inshah Allah Inshah Allah!” Rahul Gandhi stood with the ‘Tukde Tukde Gang’ and now he has been made the candidate for Lok Sabha elections. They are standing with anti-national forces. Recently, the INDI Alliance has initiated a new scheme; in the Congress manifesto, work has been done to look at minorities differently. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar had said that no reservation will be based on religion, reservation will be for social justice. Their conspiracy is to snatch reservation from India’s OBCs, Dalits, Tribals, Most Backward Classes, and Extremely Backward Classes, and give reservation to a special class. This will be an attack on the Constitution of India. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has challenged Congress to formally commit in writing that they will not alter SC, ST, and OBC reservations or allocate them to specific communities under Congress-led state governments. These attempts have been made four times in Andhra Pradesh and twice in Karnataka. While the Congress had previously implemented reservation for a specific class in Karnataka, the BJP abolished it and granted their rights to OBCs. However, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seeks to reintroduce it. Congress strengthens anti-India forces and attempts to divide and break the country’s social fabric. 

Hon’ble BJP National President urged everyone to progress with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s vision of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’, and called for support for the lotus symbol on May 7th.

 

Despite being launched 20 times, Rahul Gandhi has not achieved success: Amit Shah

| Published on:

Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation and Senior BJP leader Shri Amit Shah addressed a public meeting in Hukkeri, Karnataka on Friday. He criticized the Congress government for engaging in appeasement politics, emphasizing the contrast with the developmental initiatives spearheaded by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. During the event, Chikkodi Lok Sabha candidate Shri Annasaheb Shankar Jolle, Hukkeri MLA Shri Nikhil Katti and Chikkodi District President Shri Sathish Appajigol among other leaders were present. 

Shri Shah commenced his address by paying homage to Guru Santeshwar Mutt, Jagatmata Holamma Devi, Tai Bhuvneshwari Devi and Shivaji Maharaj. He highlighted Shivaji Maharaj’s significant contributions to establishing Hindvi Samaj and advocating for Swaraj. Karnataka has bestowed its resounding mandate on PM Shri Narendra Modi twice and in 10 years, the BJP has delivered on its promises. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi spearheaded the construction of the Ram Mandir despite a decade-long opposition from the Congress. He performed the Bhoomipujan and Pran Pratistha of the Ram Mandir. However, Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge chose not to attend, seemingly to avoid displeasing their vote bank. PM Shri Narendra Modi has not only focused on the Ram Mandir but also worked on various other development projects like the Kashi Vishwanath corridor, the redevelopment of Somnath Mandir with gold and the redevelopment of Kedar Dham and Badri Dham. The Congress’ indulgence in appeasement politics has hindered these development endeavors.

Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation emphasized that AICC President Mallikarjjun Kharge questions the connection of Kashmir with Rajasthan and Karnataka. He should understand that every child in Chikkodi is ready to sacrifice their life for Kashmir. For 70 years, the Congress party treated Article 370 like an ‘illegitimate child’. On August 5, 2019, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi abolished Article 370. Rahul Gandhi had claimed that rivers of blood would flow in Kashmir after the removal of Article 370, but five years have passed and not even a stone has been lifted. Shri Narendra Modi has ended terrorism in the country and banned PFI

Shri Shah highlighted that the Congress government in Karnataka has gained support from SDPI. Recent events, such as the bomb blast at a cafe in Bengaluru initially labeled as a cylinder blast, have raised concerns. Investigations by the NIA have indicated SDPI involvement. As Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi secures his third term, Karnataka’s safety will remain a top priority. In the recent Neha Hiremath case, Congress stated that it was a personal matter. If Congress cannot do justice, they should hand over the case to the CBI. 

Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation mentioned that Shri Annasaheb Shankar Jolle, a proactive figure in Chikkodi’s development, faced competition from a leader involved in illegal mining, extortion, and anti-Hindu remarks. Under BJP governance, farmers received ₹10,000 (with ₹6,000 from the center and ₹4,000 from the state), while Congress halted the ₹4,000 payout. Government bus numbers decreased, leading to water crises and power cuts, with Congress suggesting more cuts if not voted for. PM Shri Narendra Modi initiated irrigation schemes worth ₹13,000 crore in North Karnataka, allotted ₹1500 crore for National Highways expansion and ₹930 crore for railway expansion. In Chikkodi, over 11,000 houses have been builded, 3 lakh households received water connections and LPG cylinders. Over 2 lakh farmers benefited under the Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme and the fair price for sugarcane in 2024-25 was set at ₹340 per quintal.

Shri Shah stated that Rahul Gandhi and his company are incapable of ensuring the safety of the nation, while only PM Shri Narendra Modi possesses the capability to do so. During Sonia-Manmohan’s governance, bomb attacks purportedly occurred regularly across the nation, with little action taken to address them due to their Vote Bank. However, the response to attacks such as those in Uri and Pulwama was swift and decisive under PM Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership, with surgical and air strikes against Pakistan conducted within 10 days. Over the past decade, PM Shri Narendra Modi propelled India from being the 11th largest economy to the 5th largest globally. Now, it is Modi Ki Guarantee, to elevate India further to become the world’s 3rd largest economy upon securing another term in government. The launch of Chandrayaan-3 was successful under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership. During the G20 summit, world leaders together paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been honored with the highest civilian awards from 17 countries worldwide. On the other hand, Sonia Gandhi has been trying to launch Rahulyaan for nearly 20 times and has failed every time. Now he has run from Amethi and is contesting from Raebareli. BJP’s candidate Shri Dinesh Pratap Singh is set to defeat Rahul Gandhi from Raebareli. PM Shri Narendra Modi ensured free COVID-19 vaccine to 130 crore citizens. Rahul Gandhi tried to mislead the public terming the vaccine as ‘Modi Teeka’ however, when no one paid attention to him, he took the vaccine secretly.

Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation Shri Shah highlighted the contrasting records of the Congress party, accused of involvement in scams worth ₹12 lakh crore and PM Shri Narendra Modi, who has served the nation as both Chief Minister and Prime Minister for 23 years without facing any allegation. He also pointed out the difference in approach between Rahul Gandhi, who reportedly takes frequent foreign vacations and PM Shri Narendra Modi, who hasn’t taken a single leave in the past 23 years and prioritizes celebrating festivals with the country’s brave soldiers. Shri Shah appealed to the public to support Shri Annasaheb Shankar Jolle and expressed that every vote on the ‘Lotus’ symbol will strengthen PM Shri Narendra Modi and will make him Prime Minister for the third time.

TMC opposes CAA due to vote bank politics, despite people’s wholehearted support: PM

| Published on:

Tapping into the vivacious energy of Lok Sabha Elections, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi graced public meetings in Bardhaman, Krishnanagar & Bolpur. Addressing the crowd, he outlined his vision for a Viksit Bharat while alerting the audience to the opposition’s agenda of looting and dividing the nation. Promising accountability, he assured the people that those responsible for looting the nation would be held to account.

“I am incredibly blessed, beyond what I could have imagined. If my aim was merely to hold the position of Prime Minister, to enjoy its perks, I could have achieved that in just one month. But I am here with a singular resolve—to serve you, to serve our nation,” PM Modi commenced his speech and added, “my life’s purpose is to fulfill your dreams. I am here to serve each and every one of you, every citizen of our country. Your children are not just your future, they are the future of our nation, and I am committed to shaping that future, together with you.”

PM Modi reiterated his vision and confided in the audience that, “Witnessing poverty fuels my anxiety. But India’s progress fills me with hope. 25 crore people lifted out in a decade proves we can eradicate poverty entirely. That’s why I’m relentlessly working for a poverty-free India.”

In a sharp rebuke to the Opposition, PM Modi remarked, “What are these TMC-Left and Congress people doing? They say break Modi’s head with a stick… They say shoot Modi… But I remain resolute. The more they hate me, the more I will serve my countrymen.”

Expressing the extreme sorry state of affairs of Bengal, PM Modi established, “Left-Congress and TMC lack vision for development and focus on dividing society for votes. In Bengal, Hindus are made second-class citizens and have objections to proclamations, temples, and Ram Navami processions. The TMC government has been protecting the culprit, Shahjahan Sheikh, in Sandeshkhali, despite the country’s demand for action. Appeasement has become more than a human being for these people.”

“All of the families involved in the current political game, including the Congress royal family, the TMC family, and the Left family, are tacitly endorsing Modi’s vote jihad plea by remaining silent,” PM Modi added further.

“Congress leaders will be conducting X-rays of homes, shops, farms, and jewellery to confiscate earnings and distribute them to their vote bank. Even the TMC and Left haven’t opposed them, as this aligns with their agenda,” PM Modi revealed the harsh realities of the opposition and their malicious intentions.

In an open dialogue, PM Modi highlighted that the Constitution prohibits religious-based reservation in India, a stance endorsed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. However, he criticized the Congress for attempting to amend the Constitution to provide reservation rights to SC/ST/OBC communities, a move that has faced backlash in Karnataka. The PM issued three challenges to ensure that the OBC quota is not reduced, the SC/ST/OBC reservation is not revoked, and the Constitution remains unchanged.

“Bengal exemplifies Congress’s divisive politics based on religion. In contrast, Modi’s CAA promises protection to minorities such as Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Christians, including a significant number of oppressed Dalit, Naamshudra, and Santhal families. Regrettably, in a callous move, the Congress, TMC-Left, and INDI Alliance have announced plans to abolish the CAA,” expressed PM Modi.

“Media and experts are still speculating about the election outcome, but there’s no need for opinion or exit polls. The result is clear. I predicted that their big leader would opt for the Rajya Sabha due to fear of defeat, and it happened. Similarly, I said Shehzada would seek another seat due to fear of losing in Wayanad. Now, he’s fled Amethi for Rae Bareli. Congress will have fewer seats this time. It’s becoming evident that they’re contesting just to win and divide the country,” PM Modi openly censured the opposition.

Issuing a stern warning against TMC over teacher recruitment scam, PM Modi said, “I know how much the lives of the victims of the teacher recruitment scam have been ruined. Due to the scam, the lives of these innocent people have been surrounded by difficulties. The BJP will provide legal assistance to such candidates and will work with full force to ensure justice for them. And you have Modi’s guarantee. TMC’s goons will not be allowed to run amok. TMC’s thuggery won’t be tolerated anymore, only Modi’s guarantee. Every loot, every scam will be investigated.”

Addressing his second rally of the day in Krishnanagar, West Bengal, PM Modi began his passionate speech by highlighting Bengal’s industrial decline due to misgovernance by the Congress, Left, and TMC. He assured the crowd from Krishnanagar, Ranaghat, and Baharampur that those who have suffered under the TMC will be brought to justice.

PM Modi exclaimed, “The Matua community’s suffering is understandable and undeniable. It is only to remove the suffering of every such person that our government had the courage to bring CAA, still, the TMC opposes CAA due to vote bank politics, despite people’s wholehearted support.”

Sharing an excerpt from his visit to Bengal, PM Modi said “Yesterday, upon my arrival in Bengal, I had the opportunity to meet with several Ex-Servicemen. It saddened me to hear about the challenges they are facing. Today, I want to assure them that the Bharatiya Janata Party and our government stand with them. We are committed to providing full support to every Ex-Serviceman in need.”

The PM also made the audience aware of some of the developments and reflected, “Modi ensures direct transfer of funds to beneficiaries’ bank accounts, cutting out middlemen. However, TMC insists on channelling funds through their accounts. Modi’s approach is a direct benefit, while TMC obstructs central government schemes by insisting on controlling funds.”

“For Bengal’s progress and development, it’s crucial to elect as many BJP MPs as possible,” he urged further.

During his third consecutive rally of the day in Bolpur, PM Modi addressed a massive crowd, emphasizing his aim to modernize and ensure quality in India’s education system. He highlighted plans to open more educational institutions across the country, intending to prevent students from struggling to find higher education opportunities by creating a shortage of seats.

“In 2014, only 4-5 Indian institutes were included in global university rankings. This year, approximately 70 institutions are in the top 400, with many even ranking in the top 50. Moreover, the number of Institutes of National Importance has increased from 75 to around 150,” PM Modi also pointed out.

PM Modi underscored the lack of accountability within the TMC, listing a series of scams: “TMC leaders have a record of committing various types of unimaginable scams – from Ponzi schemes, ration, and recruitment scams, to coal and animal trafficking scams. Each scam is worth several hundred crores of rupees, reflecting how these people have looted the public in every way.”

“I have asked the Bengal BJP to establish a legal cell and social media platform to assist the youth who have become victims of these scams. Today, I assure the youth of Bengal: Modi will not let those who have made you suffer rest in peace. I won’t spare the corrupt, this is Modi Ki Guarantee,” PM Modi remarked that all these steps and efforts have been taken to ensure justice for the youth of Bengal.

“Whenever I come to Bengal, I wonder: Is this the Bengal our ancestors envisioned? The bloody and corrupt politics of the last few decades would surely disappoint them. TMC has allowed anti-social elements to exploit the people, capturing villages, hospitals, police stations, and mines. This is mafia rule, not governance. The recent incident in Sandeshkhali is a result of this. Investigating agencies are attacked, and the government supports the attackers. TMC is running a mobocracy, not a republic. The court has to reprimand the government daily. It’s crucial to stop such anti-democratic activities. Strengthen Modi to safeguard democracy and the Constitution,” the PM urged the audience, emphasizing the need to curb such assaults on democracy.

In his closing words, PM Modi reminded the crowd, “Every vote directly supports Modi. Visit every household and convey Modi ji’s greetings.”

Congress ‘Report Card’ is a ‘Report Card’ of scams: PM

| Published on:

Ahead of the impending Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed powerful rallies in Anand, Surendranagar, Junagadh and Jamnagar in Gujarat. He added that his mission is a ‘Viksit Bharat’ and added, “24 x 7 for 2047 to enable a Viksit Bharat.”

Speaking on the robust development ushered by the BJP in 10 years compared to the 60 years of Congress, PM Modi said that our goal has been to enable the last-mile reach of development benefits to all. He said, “Congress provided water to only 16% of households in 60 years and we raised it to 75% in 10 years.” He said that we have provided various developmental benefits to the people of India.

Highlighting the situation of our neighbouring country, PM Modi said, “The country that exports terror is struggling to import ‘Atta’.” He added that this same country’s reign of terror was prominent during Congress times, but our government’s all-round development model has kept the country at bay. He said that Pakistan is experiencing its most considerable pain based on India’s growth and development. He added, “Congress’ deep partnership & collaboration with Pakistan has been exposed.”

Lamenting India’s enemies, PM Modi said, “India’s enemies hope for a weak government that existed before 2014.” He added that the enemies of India wanted a government that existed during India’s 26/11 terror attack. He said that the enemies of India wished for a corrupt government in India. He added that, unlike the above, India today is a bright spot in the global economy and a ‘Vishwamitra’. He said that India is ensuring the safety of all through the Tiranga today.

Exposing the Congress-led box of lies, PM Modi said, “Congress has emerged as a ‘Fake Factory’.”

“Congress is selling lies from its Mohabbat ki Dukaan”, he said. He added that Congress has resorted to lies while subscribing to the ideals of the ‘Muslim League’ in the Manifesto. He said that Congress has only made false promises for ‘Garibi Hatao’ and has not even solved the minor problems ordinary people face. He said that Congress has betrayed the trust of the people of India.

PM Modi elaborated on Congress-led vote-bank politics, “Congress has only indulged in ‘Minority vote-bank’ politics.” He added that their appeasement politics is making them give minorities a religion-based reservation at the cost of reservation meant for SC-ST-OBCs. He added, “Congress has been anti-OBC since the 1990s and even opposed the constitutional status to OBC Commission.” He added that BJP has always enabled ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’; hence, our Central Ministries constitute 60% of Ministers from the SC-ST-OBC communities.

PM Modi challenged the opposition and said, “I have three challenges for the Congress.” Addressing a rally in Anand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he has three challenges for the Congress: First, they must not indulge in religion-based reservations disregarding the Constitution. Second, they must not reduce the reservations meant for the SC-ST-OBCs. Third, they must not play the card of appeasement politics in any state of India.

Attacking the Congress-led dangerous trend, PM Modi said, “I.N.D.I alliance aims for ‘Vote Jihad’ in India.” He added that this is a dangerous tendency as, on the one hand, they wish to promote reservations to minorities at the cost of SC-ST-OBCs, and on the other hand, they wish to do a ‘Vote Jihad’.

Talking about the ‘Report Card’ of governance, PM Modi said, “Congress ‘Report Card’ is a ‘Report Card’ of scams.” He added that their record is a replete of scams be it 2G, CAG, Commonwealth and Chopper scam. He added that the BJP’s report record was synonymous with unprecedented development. He added that our report card has actually shown the reduction of poverty empowering all.

Criticizing Congress’ defeatist attitude, PM Modi said, “Congress’ in its frustration of loss has divided the Indian society.” He added that their appeasement-politics also makes them against century-old traditions. He said that the Congress even boycotted the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram in Ayodhya. He added, “Congress aims to create a conflict between ‘Ram Bhakti & Shiv Bhakti’.” He said that the President of Congress party has tried to create conflicts between Shiv and Ram Bhakts, aiming to create unneccesary divisions in the country.

Reposing the government’s commitment to safeguarding the India Consitution, PM Modi said, “Surendranagar is a witness to Modi’s commitment towards the Constituion.” He added that as CM of Gujarat he also took out a Gaurav Yatra to celebrate 60 years of the Indian Constitution. He also said that it’s our government that has commemorated the 26th November as ‘Constitution Day’ and will celebrate its 75th anniversary grandly.

Addressing a rally in Junagadh and attacking the Congress’s intent of divisive politics, PM Modi said, “Congress opposes abrogation of Article 370 and CAA to enable divisive politics.” He added that Congress aims to divide India into North and South. He said that Congress aims to keep India insecure to play its power politics.

Developing the coastal ecosystem of Gujarat and India, PM Modi said, “We have always aimed to develop a robust coastal infrastructure in Gujarat.” He added that in keeping with the Coastal economy we have developed a huge harbor in Gujarat that will also enable trade and connectivity. This has also been coupled with better production and processing facilities for our fishermen, said PM Modi.

Addressing a rally in Jamnagar, PM Modi said “It’s owing to the efforts of Maharja Digvijay Singh of Jamnagar that India has great relations with Poland.” He added that Maharaja Digvijay Singh gave safe haven to Polish citizens fleeing the country owing to World War-2.

PM Modi further spoke of his close association with Jam Saheb’s entire family for decades. “I have been receiving special affection from Jam Saheb. The kings and emperors of our country had sacrificed their lives for generations to create a united India. This country can never forget his contribution,” he added.

Speaking on the unprecedented development of Jamnagar in the last decade, PM Modi said, “Jamnagar today hosts the WHO for Global Traditional Medicine and is the world’s largest refineries hub.” He added that the Sauni Yojana has played a pivotal role in enabling ‘Har Ghar Jal’ and ‘Har Khet ko Pani’ in the various areas of Jamnagar and the adjoining areas.

In conclusion, PM Modi thanked the people of Gujarat for a large turnout and expressed confidence that they would vote for a stable government and support its future development imperatives.

Over the past decade, significant developmental strides have been undertaken under the esteemed leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Respected Shri Singh stated that today, under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India is moving forward quickly, and its position in the world is getting stronger. Earlier, other countries didn’t pay much attention to when India used to speak on International Platform, but now, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s strong and efficient leadership, India’s voice is heard and respected globally.  India’s economy has made remarkable strides under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership. Within a decade, India has ascended from the 11th to the 5th position globally. Projections suggest that by 2027, India is poised to become the world’s 3rd largest economy. Furthermore, numerous economists and financial firms have recognized India as the world’s fastest-growing nation. 

Senior BJP leader Shri Singh highlighted that under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, significant measures have been taken to address terrorism and Naxalism. Today, India has emerged as a powerful nation on the global stage, with its borders completely secure. If any neighboring country trespasses into Indian territory and engages in any unlawful activity, the Indian Army can retaliate from within or beyond the border if necessary. While previous governments made big promises to tackle corruption, not a single minister in the Congress Party has been accused of corruption. No minister in the BJP government, under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, can be accused of corruption, not even a single penny. The Prime Minister, regardless of political affiliation, represents not just an individual but an institution. Rajiv Gandhi once expressed that out of 100 paisa sent by the central government from Delhi, only 14 paisa reached the people, with 86 paisa being lost to corruption. However, under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the central government has taken effective steps to curb corruption and ensure that the entire 100 paisa reaches the people. In 1947, upon India’s attainment of independence, Mahatma Gandhi remarked that the Congress party, which led the fight for freedom, should now dissolve itself, and no political entity should carry the name Congress. Presently, Congress stands at the brink of extinction, evident from the significant votes cast by the public. The Congress party faces the prospect of extinction akin to the disappearance of dinosaur species from the Earth. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has received the utmost respect from five Muslim-majority nations in the Arab world

Senior BJP leader Shri Singh remarked that addressing corruption cannot be achieved merely through speeches. If we intend to curb corruption, we must bring about changes in the system and structure, which is precisely what our government is doing. Bihar’s Congress and RJD governments, despite facing numerous allegations of corruption, still seek votes from the public. If someone is accused of corruption, they should feel ashamed to ask for votes from the people. Democracy cannot function without dignity. Shri Rajnath Singh appealed to the public, urging them to vote with their eyes closed for any candidate from BJP, JDU, or NDA. The return of the “Lalten Era” should never happen in Bihar. These individuals have manipulated Bihar, sometimes claiming that the era of the shepherd will come, and sometimes claiming that the era of the lantern will return. They demand reservations based on religion, but such provisions are not in our constitution. Shri Rajnath urged Congress and RJD to practice politics by looking into the eyes of the people rather than deceiving them. A leader from the INDI Alliance suggests that after our government comes into power, consideration should be given to depositing 55 out of 100 paise of a deceased family head’s property into the government treasury, leaving the remaining 45 paise for the family. Many prominent economists have also opposed this idea.

Hon’ble Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh stated that those who have not yet received a permanent house, those whose homes lack access to water, and any farmers deprived of benefits from the PM-KISAN scheme, as well as those who have not benefited from the Ayushman Bharat facility, will be provided with all the benefits of progress by our government in the next two years. Until now, the Ayushman Bharat scheme has provided free treatment up to 5 lakh for a specific income group, but in this year’s announcement, the BJP has declared the provision of free treatment up to 5 lakh under the Ayushman Bharat scheme for all individuals above 70 years old. Within one month of our government coming into power, this facility will be made available free of cost to all individuals above 70 years old.

As long as Modi is alive, no one can take away ST-SC-OBC reservation: PM

| Published on:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed public meetings in Banaskantha and Sabarkantha, Gujarat, marking the celebration of Gujarat’s Foundation Day. PM Modi began his speech by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to seek blessings for his third term in the central government, emphasizing the significance of Gujarat in his political journey.

PM Modi commended the people of Gujarat for their discernment in not allowing political instability to take root in the state. He lauded their decision to reject short-term temptations and maintain stability, which has been instrumental in Gujarat’s progress.

PM Modi criticized the Congress party for its lack of vision and commitment to serving the people, citing examples from past elections where Congress resorted to personal attacks instead of addressing substantive issues. “Even today Congress neither has issues nor the passion to work for the people. Do you remember, what were the issues of Congress in 2014? What will a Chaiwala do? But the country responded to them… Those who once occupied 400 seats were reduced to 40,” PM Modi added.

PM Modi underscored the importance of preserving the principles of the Constitution and ensuring social justice for all sections of society. He assured that the BJP government would safeguard the interests of ST-SC-OBC communities and prevent any attempt to politicize reservations based on religion.

PM Modi called out Congress for resorting to desperate tactics in the ongoing elections, including spreading fake videos and misinformation. “The party which ruled the country for 60 years has become a fake factory. What they called Mohabbat Ki Dukan is actually a fake factory. Congress’ videos are fake, Congress’ words are fake, Congress’ promises are fake, Congress’ slogans are fake, Congress intentions are fake,” the PM remarked. He emphasized that the BJP stands firm against such deceitful practices and remains committed to serving the nation with honesty and integrity.

PM Modi urged the people of Gujarat to support the BJP in the upcoming elections, emphasizing the importance of voting in large numbers. He said, “To accelerate every work of welfare and nation-building, you must vote for the BJP on May 7th. Vote in large numbers at every booth. Remember, first voting, then feasting.”

Addressing his second public meeting in Sabarkantha, Gujarat, PM Modi highlighted the progress made in the region and reiterated his commitment to serve the nation with dedication and integrity. PM Modi reminisced about the timeless bond between him and the people of Sabarkantha, emphasizing that despite the changes over the decades, the love and familiarity remain steadfast. He said, “If your love hasn’t changed, how can Modi change?”

Reflecting on his achievements, PM Modi highlighted the decisive steps taken by his government, including the historic decision to abrogate Article 370. “The Congress scared the country that if Article 370 is removed, there will be chaos. Article 370 is history now, and there is no chaos in the country. And the tricolor is flying high at Lal Chowk,” he stated.

PM Modi also addressed issues such as terrorism, triple talaq, and CAA, emphasizing his government’s commitment to national security and social justice. He criticized the Congress for its divisive politics and highlighted the failures of the opposition party during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said, “The situation of the Congress, which ruled for 60 years, is very worrying. They are openly trying to divide the country. The only strategy of Congress and its INDI alliance is to spread lawlessness and instability in the country. They want to set the country on fire, no matter what, to defame Modi. They did the same during the biggest disaster in the country, the Corona pandemic. Their COVID mission failed, their vaccination mission failed, so they tried to set the country on fire. When we brought the CAA law, they tried to set the country on fire again.”

The Prime Minister stressed upon importance of the first-time voters’ awareness and said, “The young voters casting their votes for the first time this time don’t have the experience of those old days. When Congress was ruling, for those whose parents sent them out, electricity, water, school, everything was just a dream. From Ambaji to Umargam, there were no schools for science education in the entire tribal area. Today, see, there are schools everywhere. There are medical colleges. There is adequate electricity available now.”

PM Modi emphasized his government’s efforts to address healthcare challenges, especially in tribal communities. Warning against the divisive politics of the opposition, PM Modi urged the people to vote for stability and progress. He called upon voters to support BJP candidates in the upcoming elections, emphasizing the need to defeat forces that seek to spread chaos and instability.

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi reiterated his commitment to serving the nation and called upon the people of Sabarkantha to support the BJP in the upcoming elections. He urged them to make the lotus bloom at every booth, ensuring a resounding victory for the BJP and the continuation of the Modi government’s transformative agenda.

Union Defence Minister addresses public meetings in Aonla and Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh

| Published on:

Hon’ble Union Defence Minister and Senior BJP leader Shri Rajnath Singh addressed a public meeting in Aonla and Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday. During the event, Dataganj candidate Shri Dharmendra Kashyap, Badaun candidate Shri Durg Vijay Sakhaya, District President Shri Rajeev Kumar Gupta, Deputy President Shri Santosh Singh, Dataganj MLA Shri Rajeev Kumar Singh, Fatehpur Sikri BJP District President Shri Giriraj Singh Kushwah, Fatehpur Sikri Lok Sabha candidate Shri Rajkumar Chahar and others were present. Shri Singh emphasized BJP’s decade-long commitment to progress under PM Modi’s leadership, citing India’s elevated global status due to economic growth and diplomatic strength.

Shri Singh highlighted that over the past ten years, the nation has witnessed the BJP government led by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi working diligently towards progress and development. The increased political awareness among the Indian populace since the advent of electoral processes after independence, emphasizing the critical role of public participation in shaping the country’s future. The destiny of India, its potential to prosper, and its global standing are not subject to external judgments but are firmly grounded in the hands of its people. India’s elevated stature on the international stage, where its opinions are now listened to with attentiveness and respect, owing to its robust economic growth and diplomatic prowess.

Union Minister Shri Singh highlighted the remarkable economic strides made by India under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Despite past administrations’ promises to eradicate poverty, it was only under the BJP government that significant progress was achieved. Citing reports from leading global economic institutions like the IMF, Shri Singh reiterated their acknowledgment of India’s unprecedented success in lifting 25 crore people out of poverty within a decade, attributing it to the nation’s unwavering determination and credibility. India’s trajectory towards becoming one of the world’s top three economies by 2027, with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision setting the stage for India’s emergence as a global powerhouse by its centenary year in 2047.

Hon’ble Shri Singh highlighted the transformative initiatives spearheaded by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, particularly in the realm of international diplomacy and yoga diplomacy. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s pioneering efforts in promoting yoga on the global stage, citing the unprecedented support garnered from 172 countries for the International Day of Yoga. Shri Rajnath Singh emphasized the profound impact of yoga in enhancing human well-being and extending India’s cultural influence worldwide. BJP government for fostering India’s diplomatic clout, as evidenced by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s historic address at the United Nations General Assembly and the widespread recognition of India’s leadership in various international forums.

Senior BJP leader Shri Singh began by emphasizing the BJP’s overarching vision of fostering India’s development and positioning it as a global powerhouse. India’s strength lies not in asserting dominance over others but in its age-old tradition of inclusivity, where the ethos of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” has been deeply ingrained. This ethos, he noted, signifies India’s belief that the entire world is one family. BJP has fulfilled every assurance it made to the people. In 1984, the BJP declared, “Ram Lalla Hum Ayenge, Mandir Wahi Banayenge,” while opposition parties retorted with “Ram Lalla Hum Aayenge, Tithi Nahin Batayenge.” However, on January 22nd, the grand Ram Mandir construction commenced in Ayodhya, under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, with the “Pran Pratishtha” ceremony performed, symbolizing the beginning of Ram Rajya in India. BJP had promised to revoke Article 370, granting special privileges to Jammu and Kashmir, and after securing majority in parliament, it swiftly abrogated the article, ensuring that Jammu and Kashmir’s status aligns with other states. Additionally, the BJP pledged to abolish triple talaq, despite opposition questioning its intervention in matters concerning different religious communities. BJP reiterated its commitment to treating all Indians as equals, safeguarding the honor and dignity of women, and maintaining that regardless of religion or background, every citizen is part of the Indian family, deserving equal protection.

Union Minister Shri Singh underscored the BJP’s dedication to upholding equality and justice for all citizens, irrespective of their religious or cultural backgrounds. BJP’s unwavering stance on abolishing discriminatory practices like triple talaq and its staunch advocacy for the rights and dignity of women. BJP’s belief that every individual, regardless of religion or background, is an integral part of the Indian family, deserving equal respect and protection. The sacrifices made by India’s brave soldiers in defending the honor and dignity of women firmly rejected any external interference in India’s internal affairs.

Shri Singh stated that Rajiv Gandhi, when he was Prime Minister, expressed his helplessness, stating that when he sends 100 paisa from Delhi’s banks, only 14 paisa reaches the people, with the rest being siphoned off through corruption. Former Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi was showcasing this helplessness, whereas Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi embraced the challenge by creating the triumvirate of mobile, Aadhar, and Jan Dhan accounts. Today, when 100 paisa is sent from Delhi, it reaches the people in full, without a single paisa being lost to corruption. This demonstrates that if any party possesses the art of governing, it is the BJP, as evidenced by its corruption-free governance over the past two decades. During Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure, not a single minister faced allegations of corruption. Contrastingly, during Congress’s 50-year rule, there were instances where their leaders faced corruption charges, some even serving time in jail. A sharp contrast between the proactive governance of the BJP and the lackluster performance and corruption prevalent in past administrations. 

Respected Shri Singh highlighted that even wealthier nations like America, as well as countries with smaller populations, cannot boast of ensuring both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for all citizens, a feat unique to India. Our scientists have developed the vaccine during the crisis, and alongside administering two or three doses to Indians, we have also provided the COVID-19 vaccine to 100 countries around the world. Russia and Ukraine have been engaged in a war for over two years now. Thousands of Indian students were studying in Ukraine. When missiles and bombs were being launched from both Russia and Ukraine, posing a threat to the lives of these students, a representative group of their parents met with the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to seek a solution to this issue. No other world leader could accomplish what our Prime Minister did. He held talks with Russia and Ukraine and the war was halted between Russia and Ukraine for a period of 4 and a half hours, resulting in the safe return of 22,000 students to India from Ukraine. Members of the Congress and Samajwadi Party wish to regress the country back to the 18th century by disregarding all the achievements of the BJP.

Union Defence Minister Shri Singh emphasized that in previous governments, India used to import cannon, missiles, bombs, and firearms from other countries, and our soldiers defended the nation with them. India lacks neither capability, nor capacity, nor talent. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the BJP took a decision. Before 2014, our country exported small parts valued at 600 crores to other nations. However, today, our defense exports amount to 21 thousand crores globally. Today, India is exporting bombs, cannons, and tanks. Recently, India also exported BrahMos missiles to the Philippines. India is rapidly becoming self-reliant in the defense sector as well. Shri Singh emphasized that the BJP has fulfilled all the promises made so far. The Congress government only made promises of providing houses but did not fulfill them. I have never deceived the public with false promises but have always engaged in transparent politics. I do not seek support by deceiving people. For those poor individuals who have not yet received a pucca house, I want to assure them that they will be provided with one within two years. Similarly, those households that have not received the ‘Nal se Jal‘ facility will definitely be provided with it. The BJP government, while caring for the dignity of women, ensured the construction of toilets in every household. Concerning the welfare of Indian farmers, under the Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, they have been provided with an annual amount of ₹6000. During the COVID-19 pandemic, free ration of 5 kilograms was provided, and our Prime Minister has decided to continue providing free ration of up to 5 kilograms for the next 5 years. Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, arrangements for free treatment up to ₹5 lakh are available. Additionally, after the third term of the BJP government, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has pledged to provide healthcare benefits worth ₹5 lakh to every individual aged 70 and above, regardless of their caste, religion, or income level, starting from June/July onwards.  In a few days, the meaning of SP will be understood asSamapt Party‘. Just as dinosaurs disappeared from the earth, Congress is also on the verge of extinction.

Senior BJP leader Shri Singh shared that in the past, incidents of terrorism in Punjab and Maharashtra were not addressed seriously. During the time of Congress, there were incidents of terrorism in the country, then Congress used to say that these incidents keep happening. When there were terrorist incidents during Congress government, to express their displeasure they would either hand over the dossier or say that we will not play matches with Pakistan anymore. Not playing a match was absolutely childish. India, today India can act against terrorists on this side of the border and if necessary, it can act against them even across the border. Mentioning how law and order in Uttar Pradesh has improved under Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath, who tackled chaos caused by previous administrations. Uttar Pradesh, once considered economically disadvantaged, is now expected to have a trillion-dollar economy soon. Mahatma Gandhi’s idea that the Congress party should dissolve after independence, but criticized Congress for retaining its name for political gain. BJP’s focus on genuine development without resorting to deceptive tactics.

Hon’ble Shri Singh stated that under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, a new ideology is contributing to the construction of a new India. I want to honestly convey to you that without any deception, the long journey of development that India has undertaken has had some contribution from every government. However, the pace of development witnessed during the BJP’s tenure is unprecedented in the history of independent India.The BJP has ensured the last-mile delivery of welfare schemes. It’s not that the BJP has always been successful, there have been failures too, such as Chandrayaan 2, which was prepared by our scientists but unfortunately failed.Upon hearing the news, our Prime Minister promptly visited the scientists, expressing empathy and boosting their morale. He assured them that regardless of the time and resources required, we will successfully land a rover on the moon’s south pole. Within one and a half years, Chandrayaan 3 was launched, and our lander successfully touched down on the southern pole of the moon, making India the first country to reach the south pole of the moon. The BJP has an impressive track record, with no room for questioning. During a program, the United States, the world’s most powerful country, declared, “To witness the future, visit India; to experience the future, visit India; to be part of the future, visit India.” India is at the forefront of global attention at present. Previously, in developed nations like the United States, individuals of Indian origin were not prioritized for top positions in major corporations. In the present day, among the world’s largest companies, one out of every ten is headed by an Indian CEO. India is moving forward rapidly, and if anyone obstructs its progress, it will not be tolerated. Congress leaders are unable to decide who will contest elections in Amethi and Raebareli. Shri Rajnath Singh appealed to the public to lend their support to the BJP and ensure victory by voting for BJP Lok Sabha candidate Shri Dharmendra Kashyap.

BJP prioritizes women’s safety and respect above all else: PM

| Published on:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public event in Zaheerabad, Telangana, where he expressed his love and admiration for the audience. He shared his transparent vision for a Viksit Telangana and a Viksit Bharat. PM Modi also reiterated his commitment to fighting corruption and ensuring the safety and security of all citizens.

Commencing his speech, PM Modi took pride in his government and mentioned that, “In the last 10 years, the country has seen how far a stable and decisive NDA government can take the country forward. There was a time when the world was progressing, but Congress had trapped India in the quagmire of corruption. The world was making economic progress, but India was a victim of policy paralysis. NDA has brought India out of that period with great difficulty. But, Congress again wants to take the country to the old bad days.”

Inviting an open dialogue with the crowd, PM Modi asked, “The Telugu film industry has given India blockbuster films like RRR. However, today, the Telangana Congress has burdened the state’s people with RR Tax. The film RRR has brought India’s name to the forefront worldwide. But this RR tax is bringing shame to India. There is widespread discussion about this RR tax in Telangana. It is alleged that industrialists and contractors in Telangana are required to pay a certain percentage of RR tax. It is claimed that a significant portion of the total collection here goes to Delhi as RR tax. I know you all are troubled by this RR Tax. I don’t need to delve into further detail. The public is now questioning: Who is this ‘R’, and where does this R-tax end up in Delhi?”

Launching his fiery attack against the Opposition parties, PM Modi remarked strongly, “Congress has found a new way to loot you – inheritance tax. Under their rule, 55 per cent of your lifetime earnings won’t go to your children, but to their vote bank supporters. Beware of their dangerous intentions. BRS looted Telangana, now Congress is following suit. They’re suppressing files of the Kaleshwaram scam they once promised to investigate.”

“Congress and BRS are two sides of the same corruption coin. This was evident in the Delhi liquor scam, where BRS members were involved with a party allied with Congress. When action was taken against this scam, members of this corruption racket came together in support of each other,” PM Modi added.

Taking a staunch stance in support of women’s empowerment and safety, PM Modi established that, “Under Congress rule, not only are women’s rights endangered, but so is their safety. When it comes to choosing between women’s safety and the vote bank, Congress prioritizes the latter. In contrast, BJP prioritizes women’s safety and respect above all else.”

“Today, the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya stands as a testament to the power of a strong, decisive, and patriotic government. This historic moment has been awaited for 500 years, is proof that your one vote can create history. For Congress, their vote bank is paramount, and the faith of those outside their vote bank doesn’t matter to them. That’s why efforts are being made to ban our festivals here in Telangana. Even Ram Navami processions are being banned to appease the vote bank,” PM Modi expressed the sorry state of affairs.

“In Telangana, people of the Lingayat and Maratha community have 26 castes who are demanding to be included in the BC, but the Congress does not want to include the Lingayat, Maratha, and the 26 castes into the BC list, but they included Muslims in the BC list overnight,” said the PM.

Exposing the harsh realities of the opposition and their vile intentions, PM Modi reflected, “When Telangana was part of united Andhra Pradesh, Andhra gave a record number of seats to the Congress in 2004 and 2009. Instead of worrying about SC, ST, and BC, Congress started robbing them of their reservation. They made Andhra Pradesh a laboratory of appeasement, removing the reservation rights of BCs and giving them to Muslims. This unconstitutional act, reservation based on religion, goes against Baba Saheb’s sentiments. As this truth started reaching the SC, ST, and BC communities, Congress began sweating. They activated their dirty tricks department, spreading fake videos across the country. Telangana Congress and the Chief Minister himself are implicated in this. Can we expect people holding constitutional posts to behave like this?”

Concluding his remarks, PM Modi urged the people of Telangana to ensure a resounding victory for him in the upcoming elections. He reiterated his guarantee to work tirelessly day and night to fulfil the dreams of every common citizen in the country. The PM also requested the crowd to convey his warmest regards to every doorstep.

A stable government takes care of the present while keeping in mind the needs of the future: PM

| Published on:

PM Modi addressed enthusiastic crowds in Madha, Dharashiv & Latur, Maharashtra, empathizing with farmers’ struggles and assuring them of his government’s commitment to finding sustainable solutions. He warned against the Opposition’s vile intentions, obstructing the path to a ‘Viksit Bharat’.

Inaugurating his speech, PM Modi remarked, “Your love is my wealth. In the last decade, Modi has dedicated every particle of his being and every moment of his time to serving you. Today, the people of Maharashtra witness the stark difference between 10 years of Modi government and 60 years of Congress rule. What Congress couldn’t achieve in 60 years, Modi has accomplished in 10. While Congress promised to eradicate poverty for 60 years, Modi has lifted 25 crore people out of poverty in just a decade.”

Standing in solidarity with the farmers, PM Modi expressed his dismay over Congress’s failure to improve their lives, “For years, the people of Vidarbha and Marathwada have suffered from the agonizing scarcity of water. Despite 60 years of Congress rule, basic needs like water remained unmet. In 2014, 99 long-pending irrigation schemes, 26 of which were from Maharashtra, were finally addressed after decades of neglect. Today, out of the 99 irrigation projects initiated by the Congress, 63 projects have been completed.

“Maharashtra, known for its spirit of cooperation, has seen remarkable contributions from its sugar cooperatives in empowering farmers. PM Modi is dedicated to expanding the cooperative movement across the nation’s rural landscape. Recognizing its importance, a separate Ministry for Cooperation was established in 2019, aiming to form 10,000 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), of which 8,000 are already operational. The government aims to establish 2 lakh cooperative societies in the next 5 years,” PM Modi added in confidence.

Reflecting on the plight of farmers before his government and offering hope, PM Modi shared, “Small farmers often struggle due to inadequate storage facilities, forcing them to sell their produce at lower prices. To address this, we’ve initiated the world’s largest grain storage scheme, with cooperative institutions taking the lead. This will allow farmers to sell their produce at their convenience. In the next 5 years, special storage clusters will be established across the country, benefiting onion farmers in Maharashtra.”

“Farmers in Maharashtra have received Rs 32,000 crores under various schemes. Our sugar mills faced income tax issues and legal battles since the 90s. Despite efforts during my tenure as Gujarat’s CM, the problem persisted until 2014. The NDA government, under Modi’s leadership, provided a solution, granting Rs 10,000 crores in relief to cooperative sugar mills, waiving old income tax demands, and resolving legal matters. This benefited sugarcane farmers immensely.” PM Modi further added.

The PM said, “We have also started the Gobar Dhan Yojana. The NDA government is installing Gobar Gas Plants across the country so that electricity can be produced from animal dung, and farmers can also earn from it. The organic fertilizers produced from it are being made available to farmers at a lower cost.”

Highlighting the government’s initiatives for free electricity,, PM Modi stated, “We’re helping farmers become solar energy producers through the PM Kusum Yojana, installing small solar plants for pumps on unused land. They get free electricity, with surplus sold to the government. Modi’s initiative eliminates electricity bills for all families through the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, installing panels on rooftops and depositing money into bank accounts. Use free electricity, sell surplus to the government – zero bills, earning from electricity, that’s Modi’s guarantee.”

Stressing how Nari Shakti plays a significant role in building a ‘Viksit Bharat’, PM Modi iterated, “In the past 10 years, we’ve connected 10 crore sisters to self-help groups. Today, these sisters are boosting the rural economy. Thanks to our efforts, within a short time, a million sisters have become millionaires. And now, Modi guarantees that 3 crore sisters will become ‘Lakhpati Didi’. That’s why every sister and daughter is saying today – ‘Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’!”

Questioning the opposition for delay in the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, PM Modi said, “Why did it take 75 years for a task that should have been done immediately after independence? The opportunity was there for Congress, but they only created obstacles in this sacred work. One who has faith in Ram could not have delayed such a task. Congress lacks faith in Ram and the courage required for such a task. We have shown the courage needed for this. That’s why the 500-year wait has ended. This happens when you have the power of your vote.”

Addressing the second rally of the day in Dharashiv district, Maharashtra, PM Modi posed critical questions to the crowd, taking a jibe at the opposition, “Terrorists used to attack and flee, while the Congress government merely cried “save, save”. They sang songs of peace while India was glared at by everyone. How could a weak government strengthen the country?”

“Modi is tirelessly working day and night to change your lives, while the opposition, the INDI Agadhi, is using all their strength to change Modi instead. Those whose scams I’ve halted, will they not be furious with Modi? Will they not hurl abuses at him? They’re busy scaring you, sometimes in the name of democracy, sometimes in the name of the Constitution, sometimes in the name of reservation. Now they’ve even opened a shop for fake videos. Serious allegations have been made against the Congress Party and its members for creating fake videos. I ask you, should the shops of those selling such lies be closed or not?” PM Modi added.

Exposing the vile intentions of the Opposition, PM Modi observed, “Congress has now set its sights on your property. They’re saying they’ll X-ray your house and everything inside. They’re preparing to raid your houses and lands and distribute half of it among their vote bank. This is dangerous. Congress intends to snatch the jewellery and Mangalsutras of our mothers and sisters and give them to their vote bank. Is this acceptable to the women here?”

At the third public rally of the day in Latur, Maharashtra, PM Modi launched into his dynamic speech by posing a question, “These people want to divide not just India, but even the post of Prime Minister into pieces. Their plan is to have 5 PMs in 5 years, indicating a systematic attempt to loot the country. Can we afford to give them even a slight chance? This could throw the country into instability, especially in these challenging times.”

Presenting a stark juxtaposition of the BJP era and the time before, PM Modi outlined, “Today, whenever you turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper, you’ll find numerous reports showcasing India’s rapid progress in various sectors—be it the market, manufacturing, space, or defense. But let’s remember the period before 2014. Back then, headlines were filled with news of blasts in Delhi and Mumbai, and India’s struggle against terrorism. Contrast that with today—India is known for giving a befitting reply to anyone who challenges its borders. Earlier, India handed dossiers to Pakistan, now it conducts surgical strikes. Under Congress rule, the economy was in shambles, with headlines lamenting falling growth rates and GDP figures. Every day brought news of a new scam. But now, corrupt individuals are behind bars, and headlines report on the recovery of large sums of illicit money. India’s transformation is evident.”

“Congress consistently delayed and obstructed water schemes like Jalyukt Shivar and the Marathwada water grid. However, the Mahayuti government is swiftly completing every irrigation project. Under Modi’s leadership, it is a guarantee to provide tap water to every sister’s household,” the PM further added.

Encouraging the people of Maharashtra, PM Modi emphasized, “Your vote is crucial for a stronger India and for establishing a robust government. Your votes will also strengthen Modi’s power. Additionally, I urge everyone here: When you depart, spread the word that Modi visited and conveyed his greetings.”

PM has begun politics of development and politics of accountability: Jagat Prakash Nadda

| Published on:

Hon’ble Bharatiya Janata Party National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed an intellectual meeting in Shivamogga Karnataka on Tuesday. Shri Nadda emphasized the developmental initiatives undertaken by PM Shri Narendra Modi’s government, while simultaneously criticizing the opposition for engaging in divisive tactics. During the event, former Karnataka CM and senior BJP leader Shri BS Yediyurappa, Shivamogga Lok Sabha candidate Shri BY Raghavendra, among other leaders were present.

Shri Nadda lauded the contributions of Shri BS Yediyurappa, highlighting his leadership and unwavering commitment to the welfare of the people. The party finds inspiration in his dedication to societal progress. While the Bharatiya Janata Party, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, continues to lead India towards growth and development, the INDI Alliance lacks direction and resorts to divisive tactics, as observed in their north-south rhetoric. PM Shri Narendra Modi advocates for inclusive development with his mantra of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas aur Sabka Prayas’, while the INDI Alliance indulges in divisive politics. Encouraging such tactics goes against the principles of unity in diversity that PM Modi upholds. Recently, a Congress MP from Karnataka even advocated for the state’s separation, which undermines the unity of the nation. PM Shri Narendra Modi believes in respecting diversity and regional aspirations while striving to unite the country. The statue of ‘Nadaprabhu’ KempeGowda in Bangalore stands as a testament to his remarkable contributions, and it is essential for the nation to recognize and appreciate them. PM Shri Narendra Modi quoted Dattātreya Rāmachandra Bēndre’s poetry in Mann Ki Baat, which makes the people understand that the national poets are being recognized on the national level. Be it on the national level or international level, the country has undergone a sea change. In the past 10 years, the country has undergone a significant transformation. During the times of the UPA government, there was a trust deficit between the people and the government. The political discourse was extremely negative, and people were certain that the scenario would not change, believing that politicians would only care for themselves and not the country. However, under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi the country has aspired to become a developed nation. 

Hon’ble BJP National President highlighted the significant transformation India has undergone in the past decade, particularly in its global standing. India’s presence and influence at various international forums such as G7, G20, QUAD, and BRICS have notably increased. Under PM Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership, India’s relations with neighboring countries have seen a positive shift. PM Shri Narendra Modi’s visit to Nepal marked the first time an Indian Prime Minister had visited the country in 17 years. Similarly, his visit to Sri Lanka was the first by an Indian Prime Minister in 28 years. These visits underscored India’s commitment to fostering strong relationships with its neighboring countries and revitalizing diplomatic ties in the region. Additionally, PM Modi’s extensive diplomatic outreach, with visits to over 60 countries, has amplified India’s voice on the global stage, ensuring its perspectives are heard worldwide. PM Shri Narendra Modi has changed the political culture of the country. 10 years back, politics was based on caste, region and religion, however, PM Shri Narendra Modi works under the ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas aur Sabka Prayas’ policy. PM Shri Narendra Modi has begun politics of development, politics of accountability and politics of report card. The party works on a motive that ‘What we say we did, what we did not say we also did that’.

Shri Nadda stated that Shri BS Yediyurappa’s focus on development in Karnataka contrasts with Siddaramaiah’s purported engagement in divisive politics, highlighting a significant difference for the public to discern. Despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict affecting the economies of major countries like the USA, Japan, China, and Russia, India emerged as a ‘Bright Spot’ in terms of economic recovery. Notably, India’s economy has ascended from the 11th position before 2014 to become the fifth largest globally, surpassing Britain. Projections suggest that India is on track to become the third-largest economy by 2026-2027. Additionally, India has emerged as a leading provider of medical supplies globally, with a remarkable 138% increase in medical exports. The country’s pharmaceutical sector produces cost-effective medicines, contributing significantly to global healthcare. Furthermore, India has witnessed notable growth in petrochemical exports, recording a 106% increase, while toy industry exports have tripled. These achievements underscore India’s growing stature and economic resilience on the global stage. India has become the third-largest Automobile market in the world leaving Japan behind. India became the second-largest steel manufacturer in the world. PM Shri Narendra Modi has committed that the Central government will prioritize the upliftment of the poor, youth, farmers, villages, women empowerment, and marginalized communities. The party has launched numerous initiatives aimed at uplifting every section of society and ensuring their integration into the mainstream. Notably, 25 crore people have been lifted above the poverty line, and extreme poverty in India has decreased to less than 1%, according to the IMF. These efforts demonstrate the government’s dedication to fostering inclusive growth and development across the nation. Under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, the 11 crore 78 Lakh farmers received Rs 2000 per four months in their bank accounts. More than ₹2 Lakh crore has been transferred into the bank accounts of the farmers. Under the Ujjwala Yojana, 10 LPG connections have been provided. More than 12 crore toilets have been constructed by our government ensuring a dignified life for the women. During the COVID period, every Jan Dhan account holder women received Rs 500 from the government and PM Shri Narendra Modi has decided to make 3 crore women ‘Lakhpati Didi’

Respected BJP National President mentioned that during his tenure as Health Minister, he witnessed the financial struggles of the poor when dealing with serious illnesses. PM Shri Narendra Modi has started the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, under this scheme, 10 crore 74 lakh families i.e. 55 crore impoverished individuals received annual financial assistance of ₹5 lakh for the treatment of severe illnesses. After the third term of the BJP government, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has pledged to provide healthcare benefits worth ₹5 lakh to every individual aged 70 and above, regardless of their caste, religion, or income level. Under the BJP government, farmers, women, youth, deprived and marginalized sections of society, as well as other individuals, have experienced empowerment. Karnataka CM K. Siddaramaiah consistently lamented about Karnataka not receiving its rightful share. However, he is unlikely to receive what he expects because he prioritizes commission over mission, which he is unlikely to attain. There is a rise of 275% from the UPA era as far as allocating funds for the development of Karnataka is concerned. For infrastructure development, 30 thousand crore rupees are being invested in railways, with an additional 8 thousand crore rupees spent on the Bangalore-Mysore expressway. Furthermore, a budget of ₹15,767 crore has been allocated for the Bangalore suburban railway project. Additionally, under the Bharatmala project, 614 kilometers of highways have been constructed. The Shivamogga airport stands as a testament to Karnataka’s development, with an allocation of ₹450 crore. Furthermore, ₹5000 crore have been earmarked for the Bangalore airport. In terms of urban development and smart cities, Shivamogga, Mangaluru, Bengaluru, Hubli, Dharwad, Davangere, and Belagavi have all been included, with over ₹14 thousand crore allocated for smart city projects. For irrigation development, ₹5000 crore rupees have been allocated for the Upper Krishna project and ₹1000 crore for the Kalasa Banduri project. In Vijaypur, green airfield airports are under construction. An amount of ₹5000 crores has been spent on the terminal building of Bengaluru airport. Additionally, foundation stones have been laid for the terminal buildings of the Hubli and Belgaum airports.

Shri Nadda emphasized that Karnataka has become a helicopter manufacturing hub. The state is leading in aviation, and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has shown special preference for Karnataka’s development. In Shivamogga, ₹1403 crore have been allocated for seven irrigation scheme projects. Additionally, the Malang region and Shivamogga are part of the Shikaripura railway line project.

Hon’ble BJP National President emphasized the opposition’s agenda of protecting corrupt leaders, contrasting it with PM Shri Narendra Modi’s focus on development. He criticized the divisive nature of opposition politics, especially their use of deep fake videos on social media to spread false information about the NDA government’s intentions regarding reservations. This deceitful tactic undermines trust in politicians. The people of India are aware of the divisive agenda of the INDI Alliance, which has been further exposed by media reports. The distressing and concerning aspect is that the deepfake video was uploaded by Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, as confirmed by investigations. The INDI Alliance is collectively attempting to make the video go viral. These politicians resorting to creating deepfake videos are evidently anxious because they are aware that Shri Narendra Modi will become Prime Minister by securing over 400 seats. The deep fake video exposes the deplorable and divisive mentality of Congress and INDI Alliance leaders. Additionally, the Siddaramaiah government in Karnataka implemented a 4% reservation for Muslims, deducted from the OBC quota. It highlights that Congress is neither sympathetic to Muslims nor OBCs. In undivided Andhra Pradesh, they attempted to allocate reservations meant for SC/ST and OBCs to Muslims. However, the Constitution clearly states that there should be no reservation based on religion. Shri Nadda commended Shri BY Raghvendra for being an articulate speaker in Parliament and consistently advocating for the state’s development. The public should support Shri Raghvendra and ensure Shivamogga’s contribution to achieving the ‘400 Paar’ goal.
