Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh addressed a public meeting in Khunti,  Jharkhand on Tuesday. During the event, Union Minister and Khunti Lok Sabha candidate Shri Arjun Munda, state BJP President Shri Babulal Marandi, AJSU National President Shri Sudesh Mahto, Khunti MLA Shri Nilkanth Singh Munda and other leaders were present. Shri Rajnath Singh emphasized the developmental efforts of the BJP in Jharkhand and honored the legacy of Bhagwan Birsa Munda. He criticized the opposition alliance for misleading the public and engaging in appeasement politics.

Praising Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the three former Chief Ministers of BJP in Jharkhand, Shri Babulal Marandi, Shri Arjun Munda and Raghubar Das, Shri Singh said that the clean record of the Chief Ministers in Jharkhand, including Shri Babulal Marandi, Shri Arjun Munda, and Shri Raghubar Das, stating that no corruption charges have been alleged against them. Shri Singh took a jab at former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren and mentioned an incident where Soren went missing for 1.5 days, expressing shock over the situation. He underscored the importance of politics focused on societal and national development rather than personal gain. Shri Singh lauded Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s tireless dedication to the country, citing his rigorous schedule of working up to 18 hours a day, attending multiple public meetings, and conducting late-night sessions. He noted the transformation in India’s global image, shifting from a perception of poverty to one of progress and development.

Shri Singh highlighted India’s rapid development under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership. He noted that when Shri Modi took office in 2014, India ranked 10th globally in terms of economy, but now it stands at 5th place, with economists worldwide acknowledging this progress. Shri Rajnath Singh predicted that within two and a half years, India would join the ranks of the world’s top three economies, alongside the United States and China.

Defence Minister Shri Singh also praised the contributions of legendary figure Bhagwan Birsa Munda in unifying society and resisting British rule, emphasizing that it was the BJP that honored Munda’s legacy. Shri Singh described Jharkhand’s land as remarkable, acknowledging Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s efforts in bringing it to the forefront. Shri Singh emphasized the significance of honoring individuals like Tilka Majhi, Chand-Bhairav, Nilambar-Pitambar, Tana Bhagat and Siddhu Kanho, who represent the pride and struggle of society, highlighting the BJP’s commitment to uplifting every stratum of society.

Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted that the first Tribal Affairs Ministry in independent India was established by Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Shri Rajnath Singh mentioned that the budget for the Tribal Affairs Ministry has been increased sixfold. Shri Singh emphasized that for the tribal population, who were previously overlooked, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Jan Dhan Yojana has been a game-changer, reaching 36,000 villages that had never received attention before. Shri Singh credited Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for lifting 25 crore people out of poverty, a feat acknowledged by institutions like NITI Aayog and others. Shri Singh pointed out the prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine spanning two years, marked by the exchange of missiles, artillery, and bombs, resulting in casualties on both sides. With 22,000 Indian students studying in the region, their parents sought Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s intervention for their evacuation due to safety concerns. Acting swiftly, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi engaged with Russian President and Ukrainian President, securing a temporary ceasefire of four hours, enabling the safe return of the Indian students home.

Attacking Congress’s announcement of conducting property survey, Mr. Singh said that the significance of dignity and honor in life, stating that while wealth and prosperity are important, self-respect and dignity are the most crucial aspects of human existence. Shri Singh underscored that one can endure hunger but cannot compromise on their self-respect, reflecting the character of Jharkhand. Shri Singh criticized the Congress, questioning their proposal to conduct surveys on wealth. Shri Singh remarked that when agencies like the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation inquire about wealth, individuals often struggle to provide accurate information. Shri Singh accused the Congress of attempting to divide the nation along religious lines, alleging that they prioritize Muslims over other minorities. Shri Singh asserted that while the BJP does not discriminate between Hindus and Muslims, the Congress has fragmented the nation on religious grounds, neglecting the welfare of the entire populace.

Shri Singh emphasized that the Congress government established several commissions, with their reports suggesting that out of the 27% reservation for OBCs, 6% should be allocated for Muslims and 2% for minorities. Additionally, these reports noted that if a person from the Scheduled Caste converts to another religion, they would not be exempted from reservation benefits. Furthermore, the Congress terminated reservations for SC/ST in Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University. Shri Singh emphasized that the nation is curious about the Congress’s intentions regarding resource surveys and distribution. He pointed out that government schemes such as housing, sanitation, and electrification were provided to beneficiaries without any discrimination based on religion. Similarly, initiatives like 5 Kg of free ration distribution were aimed at addressing the needs of those who require assistance, without any religious bias. The INDI Alliance realized it was losing ground in the elections, prompting them to resort to misleading the public and stoking religious divides. In contrast, the Bharatiya Janata Party aims to garner public support through love and trust, rather than resorting to fear mongering tactics. 

Union Defence Minister mentioned that the BJP Surat candidate won unopposed, marking the victorious journey of the BJP. However, the Congress and other opposition parties stated that it is a threat to democracy. Shri Singh highlighted the irony that during Congress rule, if their candidates won unopposed, democracy was considered strong, but when a BJP candidate won, it was considered a threat to democracy. In the 2012 Kannauj Byelection, Dimple Yadav won unopposed, and then no one questioned the victory. Shri Singh highlighted that Jharkhand is known for setting records, and voters must ensure a significant victory margin of more than 3-5 lakh votes for Shri Arjun Munda.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah addressed a road show and public rally in Malda Dakshin and Raiganj, West Bengal on Tuesday and Shah highlighted the rampant corruption under Mamata Banerjee’s rule in Bengal. In his address, Shri Shah emphasized that BJP can curb corruption and violence in Bengal, unlike Mamata Banerjee. Shri Amit Shah stressed the importance of re-electing Modi as PM for a peaceful, corruption-free Bengal. During the event, BJP State President Shri Sukanta Majumdar, BJP candidate from Maldaha Dakshin, Smt. Sreerupa Mitra Chaudhury, BJP Lok Sabha Candidate Shri Kartik Paul along with other party leaders, were present on the stage. 

Shri Shah commenced his address by paying tribute to the land of West Bengal, which was graced by Vivekananda, Ramkrishna Paramahansa, Rabindranath Tagore, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Syama Prasad Mukherjee. He sought the blessings of Bhairavi Mandir, Kali Mandir, Adi Kali Mandir, and Shwetambar Mandir. Shri Shah extended greetings on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. Shri Shah highlighted that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been working on the establishment of the Ram Mandir. Bhagwan Ram had been residing in a tent for the past 500 years. When the people of West Bengal gave 18 seats to the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019, PM Shri Narendra Modi performed the ‘Bhoomipujan’ ceremony for the Ram Mandir and the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Ram Lalla. Mamata Banerjee and the Congress party opposed the Ram Mandir, but after West Bengal gave 18 seats to BJP, the temple was built in Ayodhya. He added that if BJP wins 35 seats in West Bengal, the state will be freed from intruders.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Shah stated that the BJP has set a target of 35 seats in Bengal. Mamata Banerjee should understand that the people of West Bengal have now become aware, and the ‘lotus’ will bloom in 35 seats in the state, including Raiganj. When the people of West Bengal gave BJP 18 seats, it crossed 300 seats. Now, if they bless the party with 35 seats, ‘400 Paar’ will definitely be achieved.

Shri Shah highlighted that under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, substantial progress has been made for the welfare of the entire country in the last decade. Shri Shah asserted that under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, free rations have been provided to 80 crore people, up to 12 crore toilets have been constructed, Pucca homes have been provided to over 4 crore people, gas connections under the Ujjwala scheme have been given to 10 crore people, and ‘Nal se Jal’ to 14 crore people. Shri Shah observed that Mamata Banerjee obstructed the implementation of PM Shri Narendra Modi’s schemes at the grassroots level, fearing that widespread adoption would sway the people of Bengal in favor of PM Shri Narendra Modi.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation emphasized that he has come to reassure people with “Modi ki Guarantee,” and if BJP secures 35 seats, Mamata Banerjee will lack the courage to deny the rights of Bengal’s poor. Shri Amit Shah stated that the BJP will put an end to the ongoing ‘Cut-money’ system in Bengal.

Shri Shah highlighted that Mamata Banerjee is opposing granting citizenship to Hindu, Buddh, Sikh, and Jain refugees who came from Bangladesh. Shri Amit Shah emphasized that infiltration should be stopped, and Hindu, Buddh, Sikh, and Jain refugees should be granted citizenship. Shri Amit Shah stated that the Congress has stated that after coming to power, they will abolish the CAA. Shri Shah emphasized that neither the Congress party nor Mamata Banerjee have the courage to touch the CAA under BJP government. Every Hindu refugee will definitely get citizenship. Shri Amit Shah emphasized that infiltration should be stopped. He emphasized that with PM Shri Narendra Modi at the helm, the BJP can stamp out hooliganism and corruption in Bengal, a feat West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has failed to accomplish.

Criticizing Mamata Banerjee for giving protection to those who harass women, Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that in Sandeshkhali, Mamata Banerjee allowed oppression of poor, helpless women for the sake of vote banks. These women struggled, and after the High Court took note of the situation, Mamata Banerjee’s goon was imprisoned. Shri Shah stressed that Mamata Banerjee is incapable of delivering justice to the women of Sandeshkhali. He stated that only PM Shri Narendra Modi and the BJP can ensure justice for the victims.

Attacking the height of corruption and crime in Mamata government, Shri Shah said that the High Court suspended 25,000 jobs yesterday due to TMC leaders taking bribes of 10-15 lakh rupees for the positions. A search of TMC minister Partha Chatterjee’s home revealed 51 crore rupees in cash, leading to his imprisonment. Despite this, Mamata Banerjee has not suspended him. Shri Shah stated that the corruption in jobs and the ‘cut money’ practice must stop in Bengal, which Mamata Banerjee can never do. Under Mamata Banerjee’s rule, there is electoral violence in West Bengal, with 200 people killed in panchayat elections. Even after Lok Sabha and legislative assembly elections, violence occurs only in Bengal, and the reason for this is the TMC.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation stated that Mamata Banerjee came with the slogan ‘Maa, Maati, and Maanush’. She betrayed ‘Maa’ in Sandeshkhali, handed over the ‘Maati’ to Bangladeshi infiltrators, and destroyed the ‘Maanush’ with corruption and violence. Shri Shah noted that now, the time has come to teach TMC a lesson and for the people to support the ‘lotus’ symbol.

Shri Shah pointed out that there was a plan to establish an AIIMS in Raiganj, but Mamata Banerjee intervened and relocated it to Kolkata. There is no AIIMS in all of North Bengal, but the ‘Modi ki Guarantee’ is that by winning 35 seats, the construction of a separate AIIMS for North Bengal will be pursued. People used to farm on the banks of the Kulika River, but Mamata Banerjee’s goons have taken away the land from poor farmers. Shri Shah mentioned that after the Lok Sabha, and when a BJP government is formed in West Bengal, work will be done to discipline Mamata Banerjee’s goons. The connectivity between Bihar and Raiganj promotes business growth and benefits both states. While the Bihar government has given the NOC for it, Mamata Banerjee is not providing the NOC.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation stated that in West Bengal, maize and rice are grown. When Mamata Banerjee was part of the UPA government, the MSP for rice was ₹1,300, but PM Shri Narendra Modi increased it to ₹2,203 per quintal. Shri Narendra Modi also raised the MSP for maize from ₹1,310 rupees to ₹2,290. Shri Amit Shah mentioned that the UPA government had provided Bengal with ₹2 lakh 9 thousand crore, while Shri Narendra Modi’s government has provided ₹7 lakh 75 thousand crore over the course of 10 years. Additionally, ₹1 lakh 50 thousand crore has been allocated for roads, railways, and airports. He mentioned that the funds sent by the Central Government were misused by TMC through cut-money, where ₹7 lakh crore sent by Shri Narendra Modi was devoured. TMC leaders, who used to live in huts and roam on bicycles ten years ago, now have four-storey houses and travel in cars. He stated that this money was meant for the development of Raiganj, which TMC has looted.

Shri Shah emphasized that the path to freeing Bengal from violence, halting infiltration, granting citizenship to refugees, and ensuring women’s respect, as in Sandeshkhali, lies in re-electing Shri Narendra Modi as Prime Minister for the third time. Shri Amit Shah appealed to the people to secure a resounding victory for Shri Kartik Paul and Smt Sreerupa Mitra Chaudhury by supporting the ‘lotus’ button and winning more than thirty seats in Bengal is vital for building ‘Mahan Bharat’.

Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh addressed a public meeting in Gautam Buddha Nagar in Noida on Tuesday. During the event, Lok Sabha candidate from Gautam Buddha Nagar Shri Mahesh Sharma, District President Shri Satyendra Sisodia, Bulandshahar district President Shri Vikas Chauhan  and other leaders were present. Shri Rajnath Singh praised the collaborative efforts of PM Shri Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh CM Shri Yogi Adityanath in addressing the law and order issues in the state and working for its development. He criticized the Congress for misleading the nation and indulging in divisive Hindu-Muslim appeasement politics.

Shri Singh expressed his homage to the late Meghnad Singh and highlighted his contributions in his life. He stated that Noida was the epicenter of corruption in the previous government, but today, under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh CM Shri Yogi Adityanath, Noida has emerged as the ‘Business center of India’. Earlier, the state was under mafia rule, and people used to migrate from the state, but under the double-engine government, this trend has become history.

Describing the benefits of double engine government, Shri Singh remarked that today, not just Uttar Pradesh but the entire country considers Noida as a destination for tourism and law enforcement. Under the leadership of UP CM Shri Yogi Adityanath, Noida is not just known for its religious events record, but also for the significant investments pouring in from all corners of India and the world, as well as its well-maintained expressways, making it a preferred choice for better law and order. Shri Singh highlighted the commitment of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and UP CM Shri Yogi Adityanath to build a major airport on Jewar’s land, which has now begun progressing rapidly.

Shri Singh emphasized that Uttar Pradesh, once considered among the poorest states, can now boast significant progress under the double engine government, with its economy expected to reach a size of 1 trillion dollars in just a few years. This achievement, constituting a fifth of the entire economy, is substantial and indicative of Uttar Pradesh’s potential. Shri Rajnath Singh also pointed out the familiar pattern of political parties making promises before elections and forgetting them afterward, contrasting this with BJP’s commitment to fulfilling its pledges. Shri Rajnath Singh urged anyone skeptical of BJP’s promises to review their electoral manifestos, emphasizing BJP’s track record of delivering on its commitments.

Referring to Modi Guarantee, Mr. Singh emphasized that since 1951, when BJP was working under the banner of Bharatiya Jan Sangh, it had pledged to abolish Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir once it gained a clear majority in both houses of Parliament, and it fulfilled this promise. Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted that BJP had declared since 1984 that upon forming the central government, a magnificent Ram temple would be constructed in Ayodhya. Despite opposition skepticism, the temple construction was completed, evident in the inauguration of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Shri Ram on January 22nd, led by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, showcasing BJP’s commitment.

Shri Singh expressed the belief that Shri Ram has now left his temporary dwelling and entered his grand abode, symbolizing the establishment of Ram Rajya in India. Shri Rajnath Singh explained that while Ram Rajya arrives when individuals possess a sense of duty and responsibility, it cannot be established if there’s a sense of entitlement. Shri Rajnath Singh cited the example of Kaikeyi, whose sense of entitlement led to Maryada Purushottam Shri  Ram’s exile, but Shri Ram, the epitome of virtue, accepted the decision graciously, upholding the principles of righteousness.

Hon’ble Unoin Minister Shri Singh reiterated the BJP’s commitment to nation-building, emphasizing the party’s fulfillment of promises, including the abolition of Triple Talaq. He dismissed accusations of the BJP engaging in Hindu-Muslim politics, asserting that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi works for the welfare of all religions. Singh underscored that the BJP’s political agenda is centered on serving the nation rather than seeking power for its own sake. 

Attacking the appeasement politics of Congress, Mr. Singh said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s reference to the Congress’s manifesto promise regarding the survey of assets, raising concerns about potential division of the nation’s resources by the Congress. He criticized statements made by former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, alleging that they prioritized resources for Muslim minorities over others. Shri Singh stated that everyone should have equal rights to the resources of the country. The same Congress government made several commissions; the commission reports highlighted that out of 27% OBC reservation, 6% reservation should be for Muslims and 2% for minorities. The commission also highlighted that if a person from Schedule Caste changes his religion, he would not be exempted from the reservation. The Congress also ended reservation for SC/ST in Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh University. Shri Singh mentioned that the BJP does not work to divide Hindu-Muslim, but the government believes in inclusive development and making the country developed on a global scale.

Criticizing the conspiracy by Indi Alliance to weaken constitutional institutions, Shri Singh said that the BJP Surat candidate won unopposed, marking the victorious journey of the BJP. However, the Congress and other opposition parties stated that it is a threat to democracy. Shri Singh suggested that instead of misleading the public, the Congress should focus on the benefits of the public. He highlighted the irony that during Congress rule, if their candidates won unopposed, democracy was considered strong, but when a BJP candidate won, it was considered a threat to democracy. In the 2012 Kannauj Byelection, Dimple Yadav won unopposed, and then Congress, SP, and BSP did not questioned the victory. Shri Singh mentioned that today, India is developing at a rapid pace. During the previous government, when India was represented on the global stage, no country paid attention to our thoughts, but today the world listens carefully to what India speaks.

Shri Singh pointed out that back in 2014, India held the 10th position in the global economy rankings. However, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, within just 7 years, India has ascended to become the world’s 5th largest economy. Renowned financial institutions globally acknowledge India as the fastest-growing economy. It’s anticipated that by 2027, India will further climb to become the third-largest economy worldwide. Shri Singh questioned the opposition’s stance, asking whether they are uncomfortable with India’s rising prominence on the global stage. While the opposition has the right to critique the government, it’s equally important for them to acknowledge and commend the government’s beneficial initiatives.

Shri Singh highlighted that a conflict had been ongoing between Russia and Ukraine for two years, during which missiles, artillery, and bombs were being exchanged, resulting in casualties on both sides. Concerned about the safety of 22,000 Indian students studying in the region, their parents approached Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, urging for their evacuation. Without delay, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi engaged with Russian President and Ukrainian President successfully negotiating a temporary ceasefire of four hours, allowing the Indian students to return home safely.

Hon’ble Union Minister Shri Singh addressed the opposition’s accusation of BJP dividing the nation, asserting that if India has received the highest honor from five Arab Muslim countries, it’s a recognition of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership. As the Defence Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh noted the significant progress in India’s defence capabilities, from not manufacturing fighter aircraft previously to now producing missiles and aircraft domestically. Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted that India has exported defence equipment worth over ₹21,000 crore to other countries, demonstrating the nation’s strength and self-sufficiency in defence production.

Shri Singh appealed, stating that Dr. Mahesh Sharma has contributed significantly to the development of Noida and tirelessly worked for the progress of his Gautam Buddha Nagar constituency. Therefore, he emphasized the need to re-elect Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the goal should be to determine who can elevate India’s status globally as Prime Minister, with this aim, Dr. Mahesh Sharma should be elected by the people of Noida with more than 500,000 votes, rather than just 200,000 or 300,000 votes.

At the Aligarh event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was greeted with love and admiration from all corners of Uttar Pradesh. He shared his transparent vision of a Viksit Uttar Pradesh and a Viksit Bharat with the crowd, reaffirming his commitment to serving every citizen of the country.

Initiating his spirited speech, the PM remarked, “When I first came to Aligarh, I asked you to lock away the factories of nepotism, corruption, and appeasement. You locked them so tight that even the two Shehzaades can’t find the key. Today, I’m back to urge the people of Aligarh and Hathras. You hold the key to a better future and a Viksit Bharat. It’s time to rid our country of poverty, corruption, and dynastic politics.”

Painting a vivid contrast, PM Modi highlighted the stark difference: “Once, bombs and shells rattled our borders daily, but now, all is calm. Terrorist attacks and serial blasts were routine, but not anymore. Under Article 370, separatists thrived in Jammu and Kashmir, but now they’re silenced. Curfews were a daily ordeal in Aligarh, but not anymore. Under the SP government, riots, murders, and gang wars plagued us. Today, under Yogi ji’s governance, peace reigns, and our sisters and daughters walk freely, without fear.”

“Parties like Congress-SP always practised appeasement politics and never did anything for the political-social-economic upliftment of Muslims,” the PM added.

PM Modi enlightened the audience about several developmental initiatives aimed at uplifting various sections of society, PM Modi reflected that he had requested the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia to increase the Haj quota. “Today, not only has India’s Haj quota increased but visa rules have also been made easier. The government has also allowed women to go for Haj without Mehram,” the PM mentioned.

Taking a firm stand against the opposition and their selfish motives, PM Modi emphasized, “The INDI Alliance members are hopeless, unwilling to look towards the future. They question why I speak of a developed India or making us the third-largest economic power. All they care about is their family and power greed.”

“Today, I must warn the people of Aligarh and the nation about the dangerous intentions of the Congress and INDI Alliance. The Congress and its allies have set their sights on your hard-earned money and property. The Congress leader has openly declared that if they come to power, they will investigate everyone’s earnings and property, even down to how much gold women possess, how many FDs employees have, and how much land farmers own. They plan to confiscate property and money as they see fit, based on a survey they conduct. This is akin to communist ideology, which has ruined many countries. Now, they want to implement this policy in India. They want to seize your hard-earned money and property. These family-oriented politicians have amassed vast fortunes by looting the people. They have never shared their wealth with the poor. Now, they have their eyes on the wealth of the people,” the PM exposed the harsh realities of the opposition.

Training his guns further at Congress, PM Modi asserted, “The Congress considers it its birthright to plunder the wealth of the people, loot the nation’s assets. The Congress, which engaged in corruption in every defence purchase, could never have built a defence corridor here. But now, our Uttar Pradesh is now becoming a major hub of self-reliant India, a self-reliant army. Just a few days ago, we exported the first batch of BrahMos missiles to the Philippines. In the coming days, these lethal BrahMos missiles will also be manufactured in Uttar Pradesh.”

Stressing how the BJP is strengthening the power of every industry in the region, PM Modi remarked, “BJP is supporting the One District One Product initiative to boost your work. Whether it’s the locks of Aligarh, the asafoetida of Hathras, metal industries, garment industries, or gulal industries, the BJP government is dedicated to bolstering every sector.”

PM Modi also spoke about several development schemes that empower both agriculture and farmers here, stating, “BJP has also pledged in its Sankalp Patra to establish special storage clusters for potato, tomato, and onion farmers, which will greatly benefit the farmers of Aligarh and Hathras.”

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi exhorted the people of Aligarh and Hathras, “Now, to build a developed India, we need a strong government in India. For this, you need to vote for the BJP, vote for the NDA. I have one more request for you. Go door-to-door, tell them that Modi ji has said, ‘First vote, and then refreshment’.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah ji addressed a public meeting in Kanker, Chhattisgarh on Monday and emphasized the achievements of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi government including the construction of the Ram Mandir, eradication of Naxalism and significant progress in Chhattisgarh’s development.  During the event, Chhattisgarh BJP President Shri Kiran Singh Deo, BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Kanker Shri Bhojraj Nag and Chhattisgarh Cabinet Minister Shri Kedar Kashyap, among other leaders were present.

Shri Shah commenced his speech by seeking the blessings of Kank Rishi, Mata Danteshwari, Maa Yogmaya, Kankeshwari, Maa Mahamaya and Sheetla Mata. Shri Shah also paid homage to Shaheed Gaind Sinh. Shri Shah mentioned that he had come to Shri Ram’s maternal home and noted that everyone had witnessed the unique sight on April 17th. Ram Lalla, after residing in a tent for 500 years, celebrated his birthday in his mandir with Surya Tilak. Shri Shah stated that the Congress party had been hindering the issue of Ram Lalla’s Janmbhoomi for years. Shri Shah highlighted that after the public re-elected Shri Narendra Modi for a second term as Prime Minister, he performed the ‘Bhoomi Poojan’ and carried out the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla. Shri Shah highlighted that when the Congress was invited to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla, they did even accept the invitation due to their desire to please their vote bank. The BJP not only undertook the construction of the Ram Mandir, but also the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, Kedardham-Badridham and the reconstruction of the Somnath Mandir with gold.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation mentioned that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has accomplished significant changes within just 10 years. Shri Narendra Modi is a Prime Minister with a 10-year track record and a 25-year plan. Shri Shah emphasized that the Congress party, which ruled for four generations, did nothing for the poor in Chhattisgarh. Congress did not provide funds for the Mahatari Vandan Yojana, did not support farmers financially and did not give bonuses to tendu patta collectors. Congress never provided women with gas cylinders, built homes or constructed toilets for the poor. They did not ensure ‘nal se jal’ or distribute free food grains. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has achieved all these tasks.

Describing the reality of “Modi Guarantee”, Shri Shah said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has made healthcare expenses of up to ₹5 lakh completely free for 60 crore poor people. It is ‘Modi ki guarantee’ that when Shri Narendra Modi becomes Prime Minister for the third time, medical expenses of up to ₹5 lakh will be waived for everyone above 70 years of age. He said that AICC President Mallikarjjun Kharge questions the connection between Kashmir and other states of the nation. He should understand that every child in Chhattisgarh is ready to sacrifice their life for Kashmir. Shri Amit Shah highlighted that for 70 years, the Congress party upheld Article 370. On August 5, 2019, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi abolished Article 370. Shri Shah noted that PM Shri Narendra Modi has eradicated terrorism in the country and has nearly eliminated naxalism.

Criticizing former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel, Shri Shah said that in the past 5 years under the leadership of the ‘Mahadev App Brand Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’, no significant action was taken against naxalites in the state. However, since Shri Vishnu Deo Sai became the Chief Minister and Shri Vijay Sharma assumed the role of Home Minister, over 90 Naxalites have been eliminated within just 4 months. Additionally, more than 123 have been arrested and 250 have surrendered. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has successfully tackled Naxalism in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. He emphasized that after the re-election of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, significant strides have been made in combating naxalism in Chhattisgarh within 2 years. He underscored that as long as naxalism persists in the state, tribal communities continue to suffer from the lack of access to basic necessities such as Tendupatta and electricity, as well as education. Shri Shah warned the naxals and assured them that the government is committed to providing them with livelihood opportunities. However, if they choose not to surrender, the government is determined to eradicate naxalism through decisive action. 

Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri Shah stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party has always worked for the welfare of tribals and even created a separate Ministry for them, which the Congress failed to address. Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee not only formed Chhattisgarh but also worked to ensure a separate Ministry for Tribal Affairs. Shri Shah stated that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi apart from allotting ‘Jal, Jungle and Jameen’ also worked for security, respect and inclusive development for the tribal people. After independence, no leader from the Adivasi community had become the President of the Nation, but Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi appointed Smt Droupadi Murmu, who belongs to a tribal community in Odisha, as the President of the country. Shri Amit Shah highlighted that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi designated Bhagwan Birsa Munda’s birth anniversary as ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’ and allocated over ₹200 crore to build 10 museums across the country to honor the valor of Adivasi freedom fighters. Shri Shah criticized Rahul Gandhi and Bhupesh Baghel, stating that while the Congress allocated only a ₹24,000 budget for the Tribal Affairs Minister, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi allocated ₹1 Lakh 24 Thousand crore to Tribal Affairs.

Shri Shah highlighted the BJP’s efforts to improve the welfare of Adivasis, including the provision of bonuses for tendu patta, the establishment of Eklavya Schools and scholarships for over 1 lakh students. He mentioned that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has challenged the Congress to assess the total assets promised in its manifesto, criticizing the Congress for questioning the Prime Minister’s initiatives.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri Shah recalled a statement by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who purportedly prioritized Muslim minorities over Adivasis and Dalits in terms of resource allocation, contrasting this with the BJP’s stance that the first right on the country’s resources belongs to the poor, Adivasis and Dalits. He accused the Congress of promoting division rather than unity in the country. Shri Shah also mentioned internal conflicts within the RJD, Congress,and INDI Alliance during a recent meeting in Ranchi. He highlighted Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s efforts to unify India, regardless of regional or social differences. He urged voters to re-elect Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji for a third term to propel India to become the world’s third-largest economy.

Shri Shah stated that the BJP government has brought naxalism to the brink of extinction and has also done a lot of work for the development of Chhattisgarh. During the 10-year tenure of the Sonia-Manmohan government, the backward, Dalit and poor people of Chhattisgarh received nothing. In 10 years at the center, only ₹77,000 crore were sent for the development of Chhattisgarh by Sonia-Manmohan’s government. Shri Amit Shah emphasized that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has sent ₹3,20,000 crore to Chhattisgarh in just 10 years. Additionally, Shri Narendra Modi has allocated ₹25,000 crore for road construction, ₹45,000 crore for railways and ₹250 crore for the airport in Chhattisgarh. 

Hon’ble Union Minister Shri Shah stated that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has guaranteed that as he becomes Prime Minister for a third term, the scheme for providing free food grains to the country’s poor will continue until 2029. Additionally, under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s governance, households will be supplied with gas through pipes. Shri Shah called on naxalites to surrender and assured the public that even if they don’t surrender, the BJP will uproot naxalism from Chhattisgarh in just two years. Shri Shah highlighted that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi aims for ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047, and the biggest beneficiaries of it will be the tribal people, dalits, farmers, youth, poor and women. Shri Shah praised BJP’s Kanker candidate Shri Bhojraj Nag and noted that he would do anything for the betterment of the public. Shri Amit Shah urged the public to press the ‘Lotus’ symbol next to Shri Bhojraj Nag’s name and support him win. Shri Shah highlighted that the people of Chhattisgarh will give all 11 seats to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Campaigning for the 2014 Lok Sabha election has intensified, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the star campaigner for the NDA, amplifying his support for BJP candidates in Rajasthan. PM Modi addressed public meetings in Jalore and Banswara today. Addressing the event, he said, “In the first phase of voting, half of Rajasthan has taught Congress a good lesson. Rajasthan, deeply rooted in patriotism, knows that Congress can never build a strong India.”

The Prime Minister took aim at the Congress leadership saying that the country does not want such a weak Congress government as it was before 2014. “Everyone used to threaten the weak Congress government, everyone was involved in looting the country. No one would question the Prime Minister, the government was run by remote control. Cabinet decisions were passed, ordinances were torn apart in front of the media,” he said while taking a dig at a prominent Congress leader.

Furthermore, PM Modi said, “Some Congress leaders have left the Lok Sabha and entered the Rajya Sabha, that too from Rajasthan, as they don’t have the courage and confidence to contest elections. They are not even campaigning. Congress hollowed the country by spreading the termite of ‘Parivarwad’ and corruption.”

Taunting the Congress party’s struggle to field candidates for elections, Prime Minister Modi remarked, “For a party that once clinched 400 seats, it’s now a challenge to compete on even 300 seats. Congress is struggling to find candidates. The opportunistic INDI Alliance they’ve forged have crumbled before they could even take off. They label it an alliance, yet they’re embroiled in internal conflicts. Approximately 25% of the country’s seats witness their internal clashes.”

Talking to the people of Jalore, PM Modi announced that those who haven’t yet secured a pakka house will be guaranteed by Modi. He mentioned that out of the 3 crore houses to be constructed, one belongs to you. Also, he urged people to inform the sisters of families yet to receive a permanent home that these houses will be allocated in their names.

During the rally, PM Modi also addressed healthcare services, mentioning that in Rajasthan, 10,000 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs have been established to ensure the residents don’t have to travel far for initial treatment. “The establishment of a medical college in Sirohi has proven to be very beneficial. Soon, a medical college will also be ready in Jalore,” he said.

The Prime Minister accused the Congress party of indulging in corruption within the Jal Jeevan Mission and exacerbating the water crisis. He remarked, ” Congress has never been sincere about ensuring that farmers and people here get water, thus ending the biggest crisis of their lives. The Salgaon Dam project serves as a prime example of this. The project was supposed to be made over four decades ago, but now the BJP government is working with determination to swiftly fulfill this commitment.”

“In the last 10 years, numerous tasks have been accomplished with your blessings. But now, this is just the trailer. Now, we have to elevate the development of Rajasthan and the progress of the nation to new heights,” he added.

Later in the day, the Prime Minister addressed another meeting in Banswara, where he spoke on how the BJP is dedicated to the welfare of the poor and works with complete honesty, while on the other side, the Congress’ shop has fear, hunger, and corruption as the only things for sale.

“Congress has always instilled fear in Dalits, sometimes in tribals, sometimes in minorities. Even today, they are spreading fear about democracy, the constitution, and reservation. But Congress doesn’t realize that India has moved beyond all kinds of fear. That’s why their lies are not working anymore. Look at the states across the country with a significant tribal population; Congress is either out of power or is a third or fourth-ranked party,” he added. The PM also spoke at length on work done by the central government for the tribals of the country.

Taking a sharp dig at a Congress leader, PM Modi asserted that, “ISRO is the organization responsible for launching rocket after rocket in the country. It was ISRO that successfully launched our Chandrayaan. Besides ISRO, there is also a political party here that primarily focuses on launching, and that party is Congress. Congress launches its Shehzaade at regular intervals. While ISRO’s launches are celebrated worldwide, Congress has failed to launch its Shehzaade. Similar efforts are being made in this election as well, but you all know the result.”

Focusing on youth, PM Modi said, ” During Congress’ rule, the dreams of youth were played with. Now, our government under the leadership of Bhajan Lal Ji has initiated action against the paper leak mafia as well. The central government has also enacted a stringent law for this purpose. This law will ensure severe punishment for those who deceive the youth – this is Modi’s guarantee.”

PM Modi said, “The situation of the Congress, engulfed in selfishness and opportunism, has become such that even the royal family of the Congress will not vote for the Congress in Delhi. Wherever members of this royal family reside, those seats have also not favored the Congress. And if you look here in Rajasthan, many Congress leaders are going door-to-door saying not to vote for Congress candidates.”

Coming down heavily on the ‘grand old party’ in Banswara, PM Modi iterated, “Congress is trapped in the clutches of the Leftists and urban naxals. What Congress has said in its manifesto is serious and worrying. They have said that if they form a government then a survey of property belonging to every person will be done.  It will be checked how much gold our sisters own, how much money government employees have. They have also said that gold owned by our sisters would be equally distributed. Does government have the right to take your property?”

To make India the world’s third economic power and transform Rajasthan into a developed state, leading to a developed India, PM Modi implored people, especially first-time voters to come out to vote in large numbers for BJP candidates on April 26.

Bharatiya Janata Party National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed a public  meeting in Buldhana, Maharashtra on Sunday. During the event, Maharashtra Cabinet  Minister Shri Gulabrao Patil, Buldhana Lok Sabha candidate Shri Prataprao Jadhav,  State BJP Vice President Shri Chainsukh Sancheti and other leaders were present. Shri  Jagat Prakash Nadda praised the developmental works of the Mahayuti Alliance in 

Maharashtra under the vision of PM Shri Narendra Modi. Shri Nadda expressed  criticism towards the corruption and dynastic politics of the INDI Alliance and urged  the voters to ensure the victory of PM Shri Narendra Modi to save the country from  corruption. 

Shri JP Nadda expressed his joy at being on such sacred ground, known by the names  of Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Shri Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar and  Savitribai Phule. Shri JP Nadda first and foremost pays homage to the sacred land. Shri  Nadda noted that Shri Sanjay Kute, Shri Pratap Rao and Shri Gulab Rao have portrayed  the image of the nation and the state. However, it is well known to everyone that with  the blessings of the people, Shri Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to become  India’s Prime Minister for the third time. Shri JP Nadda stated that in this election, the  focus is on supporting Shri Pratap Rao, but through Shri Pratap Rao, it is an election  to support the leadership of Shri Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in shaping India  into a ‘Viksit Bharat’ from 2024 to 2047. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has  changed the course of Indian politics, altered its definition and brought about change. 

Shri JP Nadda stated that in the past, politics used to revolve around slogans, enticing  promises and forgetting the people after elections, and if possible, engaging in vote  bank politics, pitting one locality against another, one caste against another, one  religion against another, in any way dividing and manipulating votes to secure  power. But after Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi came to power, Indian politics  shifted towards accountability towards voters, away from vote bank politics towards  accountability, towards a politics based on performance, towards developmental  politics, and India embarked on the path of progress. Therefore, every citizen of the  country established a stable politics, and because of this, the BJP, which had promised  in 1951-52 to remove Article 370, actually did so, because the people of India chose a  stable and strong government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra  Modi in 2019, hence due to the willpower of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and  the strategy of Shri Amit Shah, the BJP government was able to abolish Article 370.  

Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda stated that everyone talked about ending triple talaq  because injustice was being done to Muslim sisters, but there was no political will or  political power. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said that Muslim sisters had been  suffering from oppression for a long time and they should be freed from it. Therefore,  when the people of India elected Shri Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, triple talaq  was abolished, and Muslim women got freedom. 

BJP National President mentioned that while mentioning the construction of the Ram  Lalla Mandir, Shri JP Nadda said that the BJP always said, ‘Ram Lalla Hum Aayenge,  Mandir Wahin Banayenge’ while mocking the opponents who, while changing their  stance, sarcastically said, ‘Mandir Wahin Banayenge, Magar Tithi Nahin Batayenge’,  Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the groundwork for the 

construction of the Ram Mandir was laid, and on January 22, a magnificent Ram  Mandir was inaugurated, with the sacred ceremony known as ‘Pran Pratistha’. Shri JP  Nadda stated that due to the stable government given by the people, the BJP  government was able to establish the CAA in India, to make laws to protect Hindus,  Parsis and Christians who were facing religious persecution in Bangladesh, Pakistan  and Afghanistan, and to provide citizenship to those who had come and were  residing in India, which the Congress party was trying to prevent by not granting  citizenship, but the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Mahayuti, including Shiv Sena,  worked against it and brought the CAA, providing citizenship to them. 

Shri JP Nadda stated that the public should remember the UPA government, which  at that time was only focused on indulging in corruption, promoting nepotism,  enjoying perks, and neglecting the people. Shri JP Nadda stated that under the  leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the BJP-led government gave a  voice to the poor, marginalized, Dalits, oppressed, underprivileged, women, youth  and farmers. 

Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda highlighted the impact of government schemes like Pradhan  Mantri Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojana, providing free food to 80 crore people including  90 Lakh in Maharashtra and 3.5 Lakh in Buldhana. This initiative has lifted 25 crore  people out of poverty. He also mentioned empowering women through Ujjwala  Yojana, which provided 10 crore gas connections, benefiting over 52 Lakh people in  Buldhana alone. The Jal Jeevan Mission provided tap connections to 11 crore people  nationwide, including 75 Lakh in Buldhana. Over 4 crore houses have been built under  PM Awas Yojana for the poor, with plans for 3 crore more in PM Modi’s third term.  Ayushman Bharat Yojana offers a ₹5 Lakh health cover to 55 crore people, making it  the world’s largest health scheme. Additionally, India’s economy has surged, moving  from 11th to 5th largest globally, with projections to reach the third spot by 2027  under PM Modi’s leadership. 

BJP National President highlighted India’s transformation into the ‘World’s  dispensary,’ producing some of the world’s most effective and affordable medicines,  with a 138% increase in medicine exports. The automobile export sector has also seen  a significant upsurge of 106%. Previously, mobile phones were imported from various 

countries, but now over 97% of mobile phones are Made in India. There has been  rapid expansion in infrastructure, including highways, railways, and airports, with  world-class railway stations being developed under the Amrit Bharat initiative.  Medical colleges are being established across the country, including one in Buldhana  and the opening of an AIIMS in Nagpur. Prime Minister Shri Modi has particularly  focused on Maharashtra, with tax revenues quadrupling and grant-in-aid increasing  threefold. Over 13,000 kms roads have been constructed in Maharashtra, and six  Vande Bharat trains have been launched. The Atal Tunnel Setu, built at a cost of  ₹18,000 crore, has been inaugurated, and plans for a corridor from Surat-Nashik to 

Ahmedabad-Sholapur are underway. Additionally, significant progress has been made  in metro expansion projects. 

Shri JP Nadda praised candidate Shri Prakash Rao Jadhav for working towards the  development of Buldhana. Shri Nadda highlighted that on one hand, Prime Minister  Shri Narendra Modi dedicated towards development of the country and pledged for  ‘Bhrashtachar Hatao’, on the other hand, the Maha Aghadi and Ghamandiya alliance  based on ‘Parivaar Bachao’ and ‘Bhrashtachariyo ko Bachao’. Shri JP Nadda  highlighted that the Congress has been implicated in numerous scams, including  Coalgate, 2G-3G, AgustaWestland, Rice, Sugar, Submarine and Commonwealth Games  scams. Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav is entangled in cases related to the  Gomti Riverfront project, the laptop distribution scandal and the Foodgrain Scam. RJD  leader Lalu Yadav and his family are facing charges linked to land-for-jobs, the Alkatara  scam and the fodder scam. TMC leaders are involved in a scandal concerning a  teachers’ recruitment scam. DMK’s MK Stalin has been accused in the DA case for  allegedly possessing property worth 1.34 lakh crore, and DMK leaders were implicated  in the sand scam.  

Bharatiya Janata Party National President Shri Nadda highlighted that leaders from  various opposition parties, including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, P. Chidambaram,  Karti Chidambaram, Lalu Yadav, Sanjay Singh, as well as TMC and DMK leaders, are  currently out on bail. Additionally, notable figures like Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, AAP  Leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain, and Azam Khan are currently in jail. Shri  Nadda stated that the INDI Alliance leaders are either in jail over corruption charges  or out on bail. Shri Nadda pointed out that leaders like Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba  Mufti, Sukhbir Badal, the Chautala Family, Akhilesh Yadav, the Lalu family, Mamata  Banerjee and Abhieshk Banerjee, K Chandrashekhar Rao’s family, the Stalin family, the  Sharad Pawar Family, and the Thackeray family are all embroiled in family politics and  do not work for the development of the country. Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda emphasized  that the election is a fight of two ideologies: on one side is PM Shri Narendra Modi’s  developmental vision for the nation, and on the other side is the corruption model  of the Ghamandiya alliance. Shri Nadda appealed to the voters of Buldhana to ensure  the victory of Shri Prataprao Jadhav and also make Shri Narendra Modi the Prime  Minister for the third consecutive time.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed public meetings in Chikkaballapur and Bengaluru, Karnataka. Speaking to a vibrant crowd, he highlighted the achievements of the NDA government and outlined plans for the future.

Addressing the enthusiastic gathering, PM Modi said, “The enthusiasm of the nation has been uplifted by the voting in the first phase, and I can see this enthusiasm here as well. In the first phase, the voting has been in favor of the NDA, in favor of a developed India.”

He emphasized the lack of leadership and vision in the opposition coalition and said, “The INDI Alliance currently lacks leadership, vision for the future, and their history is filled with scams. The message from Chikkaballapur and Kolar is clear, Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar!”

Presenting his report card to the people, PM Modi sought their blessings and reiterated his commitment to their welfare. He said, “Today, I am among you with my report card, seeking blessings. I consider you all as my family. I have worked day and night for you. Your dream is Modi’s determination. That’s why I not only make plans with true intentions but also guarantee them.”

Highlighting the government’s initiatives for the welfare of the poor, PM Modi mentioned the provision of free rations and healthcare. “The poor of our country never hoped to receive free rations. But this son of the poor, Modi, has shown what no one ever thought of. Modi guarantees that this will continue for the next five years,” he said.

He also emphasized the importance of education and financial assistance for SC/ST/OBC communities. “The biggest beneficiaries of Modi government schemes are SC/ST/OBC families. In the past, they were forced to live in filth and slums, without even basic amenities like electricity and water. Modi’s guarantee has restored their faith. That’s why in the last ten years, twenty-five crore people have been lifted out of poverty,” he added.

PM Modi outlined the government’s focus on women’s empowerment, mentioning the expansion of self-help groups and financial assistance for women. “Serving and securing every mother, sister, and daughter is Modi’s priority. In the last ten years, we have connected ten crore sisters through self-help groups. We have made one crore sisters ‘Lakhpati Didis’. Now Modi guarantees that three crore sisters will become ‘Lakhpati Didis,’ earning over one lakh rupees annually,” he said.

Speaking about the Namo Drone Didi Yojana, PM Modi said, “The NDA government is providing drone pilot training to girls. The day is not far when our daughters will assist in farming using drones in the fields of Kolar and Chikkaballapur.” PM Modi also highlighted the government’s efforts to promote agriculture, improve infrastructure, and develop tourism in the region.

In his second public meeting in Bengaluru, PM Modi addressed a gathering, highlighting the achievements of the NDA government and outlining plans for the future. Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi emphasized the significant strides India has made in the last decade and the transformative impact of government policies on the lives of citizens.

PM Modi recalled the challenges India faced in 2014, being counted among the “fragile five” economies globally. However, through decisive governance and citizen support, India has risen to become one of the top five economies in the world. He credited the people for this transformation, stating, “It’s your vote that has done it.”

Addressing the audience, PM Modi reiterated his focus on the development of 21st Century India, emphasizing the importance of citizen welfare and India’s global image. He highlighted the government’s record investments in social, physical, and digital infrastructure to improve the quality of life for all citizens.

PM Modi expressed concern over the deteriorating situation in Bengaluru under the Congress government. He highlighted the rapid progress made under central government projects, such as the expansion of the Namma Metro network and infrastructure development in suburban areas.

He said, “Nadaprabhu Kempegowda had dreamt of making Bengaluru a magnificent city. But the Congress government has worsened the situation here in a short time. They have turned the tech city into a tanker city and handed it over to the water mafia. Whether it’s agriculture or urban infrastructure, budgets are being cut everywhere. The focus of the Congress government is only on corruption, not on the problems of the people of Bengaluru.”

PM Modi outlined future plans, including the creation of various hubs such as the Green Energy Hub, Pharma Hub, and Electronics Hub to bolster India’s position as a global economic powerhouse. “You’ll remember it was Congress that created a huge uproar over HAL. Today, HAL is achieving record turnovers, and profits, and receiving record orders. Asia’s largest helicopter factory is now in Karnataka. After the United States, Boeing’s second-largest facility is in Karnataka. This is happening when industries are growing in India, and the number of people working in them is increasing,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi assured the audience that the government is committed to fulfilling their dreams and urged them to vote for the BJP and JD(S) alliance in the upcoming elections. He highlighted Congress’ mindset and its misrule and said, “Bengaluru is a powerhouse of youth, talent, and technology. But the Congress and the coalition are against technology. Today, the whole world is praising Digital India and India’s fintech.”

“But don’t forget, Congress opposed Aadhaar. Congress opposed Jan Dhan Accounts. Congress ridiculed digital payments. Congress opposed digital authentication in the ration scheme. Congress opposed the Co-WIN platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. Congress maligned the Made in India COVID-19 vaccine,” he added.

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi urged the people of Bengaluru to support BJP candidates in the upcoming elections. He called for breaking all voting records in Bangalore city and emphasized the importance of every citizen’s vote.

Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi addressed two public meetings in Nanded and Parbhani, Maharashtra amid overwhelming support by the people for the NDA. He bowed down to prominent personalities including Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Nanaji Deshmukh, and Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Speaking on the initial phase of voting for the Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi said, “We have the popular support of the First-time voters with us.” He added, “I.N.D.I alliance have come together to save and protect their corruption and the people have thoroughly rejected them in the 1st phase of polling.” He added that the Congress Shehzada now has no choice but to contest from Wayanad, but like he left Amethi he may also leave Wayanad. He said that the country is voting for BJP-NDA for a ‘Viksit Bharat’.

Lamenting the Congress for stalling the development of the people, PM Modi said, “Congress is the wall between the development of Dalits, Poor & deprived.” He added that Congress even today opposes any developmental work that our government intends to carry out. He said that one can never expect them to resolve any issues and people cannot expect robust developmental prospects from them.

Highlighting the dire state and fragile conditions of Marathwada and Vidarbha, PM Modi said, “For decades, Congress stalled the development of Vidarbha & Marathwada.” He “It is the policies of the Congress that both Marathwada and Vidarbha are water-deficient, its farmers are poor and there are no prospects for industrial growth.” He said that our government has enabled ‘Nal se Jal’ to 80% of households in Nanded. He said that our constant endeavor has been to facilitate the empowerment of our farmers through record rise in MSPs, income support through PM-KISAN, and the promotion of ‘Sree Anna’.

Highlighting the infra impetus in Nanded in the last decade, PM Modi said, “To treat every wound given by Congress is Modi’s guarantee.” He added “The ‘Shaktipeeth highway’ and ‘Latur Rail Coach Factory’ is our commitment to a robust infra.” He said that we aim to foster the development of the Marathwada region in the next 5 years.

Elaborating on the relationship between the Sikh Gurus and Nanded, PM Modi said, “The land of Nanded reflects the purity of India’s Sikh Gurus.” He added that we are guided by the principles of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. “Over the years we have celebrated the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the 400th birth anniversary of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, and the 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh Ji,” said PM Modi. He said that the Congress has always opposed the Sikh community and is taking revenge for 1984. He said that it is due to this that they oppose the CAA that aims to bring the Sikh brothers and sisters to India, granting them citizenship. He said that it was our government that brought back the Guru Granth Sahib from Afghanistan and facilitated the Kartarpur corridor. He said that various other decisions like the abrogation of Article 370 and the abolition of Triple Talaq have greatly benefitted our Muslim sisters and brothers.

Taking a dig at the I.N.D.I alliance, PM Modi said “The I.N.D.I alliance only believe in vote-bank politics.” He added that for this they have left no stone unturned to criticize and disrespect ‘Sanatana’. He said that it is the same I.N.D.I alliance that boycotted the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram.

Addressing a rally in Parbhani, PM Modi said, “One must caution against Congress for a ‘Viksit Bharat’ & ‘Viksit Maharashtra.” He added that it is their divisive policies that caused the partition of India and the imposition of Article 370 going against the wishes of Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Reflecting on the Congress detesting Indian culture, PM Modi said, “Congress & it’s friends detest India’s culture.” He added that it was our government that added the Tiranga on the Navy flag. He said, “Our government made sure the Indian Navy reflected the might of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.” But the Congress even opposes these steps that showcase the vibrancy of our culture.

In conclusion, PM Modi said that we all must strive to ensure that India becomes a ‘Viksit Bharat’, and for that, it is the need of the hour to vote for the BJP-NDA. He thanked the people of Nanded and Parbhani for their overwhelming support and expressed confidence in a Modi 3.0.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended & addressed a public meeting in Wardha, Maharashtra. The PM was enamoured by the audience. The PM too showered his love and admiration on the crowd.

Initiating his virtuous address, the PM regarded Wardha as the land of a great confluence of spirituality and patriotism. PM Modi also reminded his audience that, “this election of 2024 is an election to fulfil the dream of a Viksit Bharat and a self-reliant India.” “Bapu envisioned this dream pre-independence. Today, as the nation takes decisive strides, Wardha’s blessings are crucial. Your overwhelming presence, and the strong backing from Wardha and Amravati, signify that the aim of a developed Maharashtra and India is within reach. Maharashtra echoes today: ‘Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar!’”, the PM added with confidence.

Confiding in the massive crowd, PM Modi shared that, “In a remarkable decade of progress, this humble servant has honoured the unspoken, lifting 250 million out of poverty, illuminating every village, providing water connections to 110 million, granting PM-Awas to 40 million impoverished families, and integrating over 500 million into the economy through banking. Each achievement is a testament to our collective dedication and determination towards a brighter, more inclusive future.”

PM Modi did not hesitate to expose the realities of the opposition and remarked, “The thinking of Congress and Indi Alliance has always been anti-development and anti-farmer. That is why the condition of farmers in the country has remained so bad for decades.” “A stone laid in the family’s name remained unfinished for generations, causing suffering in Vidarbha under Congress rule. Today, our government prioritizes Vidarbha’s needs, with Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis, and Ajit Pawar committed to serving you all,” the PM further mentioned.

Sharing the plight of farmers from Wardha and Amravati, PM Modi observed that, “The irrigation crisis in Wardha and Amravati has long plagued local farmers, with past governments failing to address it sincerely. In 2014, 99 major irrigation projects nationwide, many in Maharashtra, were stalled for decades,” but he also gave hope that, “Under the NDA government, rapid progress is underway, notably with the imminent completion of the Lower Wardha and Lower Pedhi Irrigation Projects, promising to be a lifeline for farmers. Additionally, numerous smaller projects aim to boost irrigation across the region.”

“We have separately identified the oranges of Amravati and turmeric of Wardha under ODOP so that the farmers here can benefit from it. For financial assistance to farmers, money from PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is also being sent directly into the accounts,” PM Modi shared.

In a sorry state of affairs, the PM launched his blistering attack against the opposition and said, “In contrast to BJP’s development agenda, the INDI Alliance struggles with a lack of substantial issues, resorting to a politics of insults. Inviting leaders opposed to Sanatan principles to Maharashtra, they boycott events like the Ayodhya Ram temple inauguration, dismissing it as hypocrisy. However, their denial contradicts the nation’s deep devotion on such occasions, revealing the true face of the INDI Alliance.”

“Eknath Shinde ji’s government has resolved to redevelop ‘Lahanuji Maharaj Sansthan’ here. If these people become strong then they will oppose that also. Therefore, you have to account for the sins of Congress on this land of Shivaji Maharaj,” the PM warned.

“The Congress party admits defeat and resorts to threats of chaos post-elections. Their inclination towards constitutional suppression and emergency echoes past tactics. However, the nation desires a resolute, stable government. Voting for Congress or the INDI Alliance is futile.” Hence, PM Modi urged that “Maharashtra’s votes must prioritize development. To all on April 26th, let’s vote for progress.”

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi encouraged the audience to ensure a resounding victory for the BJP by casting record-breaking votes. He expressed gratitude to every individual in the crowd and motivated them to spread his heartfelt regards to every doorstep in Maharashtra.

Ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi addressed a dynamic rally in Damoh, MP. He said that voting is our duty and that all must vote in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Regarding the importance of the Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi said, “India needs a government that can navigate it through times of war.” He added that the people must vote for a strong government that can secure the future of India. He said, “During the COVID pandemic, our government ensured the well-being of all & worked with the spirit of ‘Nation First’.” He said that only a strong government can ensure the same. He said, “Amidst global uncertainty, even our neighbouring country, the supplier of terror, is struggling for basic necessities, but India is on the path of great progress.” He said that all this has been possible owing to the decisive vote of the people.

Highlighting how Congress weakened India’s defence sector, PM Modi said, “For decades, Congress weakened India’s defence sector.” He added that the Congress stalled various defence deals including the Rafale and Tejas fighter. He said, “Congress was against the Atmanirbharta of India in the defence sector.” He said “India’s defence exports today are worth Rs. 21,000 crores and that India will soon export BrahMos missile to other countries.”

Elaborating on Modi’s guarantee, PM Modi said “Modi guarantees to enable the last-mile reach of development of all & Modi’s guarantee is the fulfilment of all guarantees.” He said, “Har Ghar Jal’ & ‘Har Khet ko Pani’ is Modi’s priority.” He said, “The Pancham Nagar Yojana aims to provide Har Ghar Jal’ & ‘Har Khet ko Pani’.” He added, “The Mudra Yojana has benefitted the deprived sections such as the Dalits, Poor and the Janjatiyas in easily availing of loans.

Showcasing the brave Nari Shakti of MP and India, PM Modi said, “Rani Damyanti is the brave symbol of Damoh’s Nari Shakti.” He added that our model of governance has always prioritized Nari Shakti. He said that be it toilets, drinking water, or cooking gas, we have aimed to facilitate the empowerment of Nari Shakti. He added, “Unlike previous times, Nari Shakti today own houses, 10 crore are part of various S.H.G.s, and 1 crore have become Lakhpati Didis.”

Lamenting the I.N.D.I alliance, PM Modi said, “Modi’s guarantee has given sleepless nights to the I.N.D.I alliance.” He added, “Bundelkhand is the land of ‘Ram Rajya’ & Rashtrabhakti.” He said that despite this, the I.N.D.I alliance boycotted the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram and compared ‘Sanatana’ with ‘Dengue & Malaria’. He added, “I.N.D.I alliance called all people worshipping Shri Ram’s Surya Tilak ‘Hypocrites’.”

In conclusion, PM Modi remarked that voting for the I.N.D.I alliance will not fetch anybody anything, while a vote for the BJP-NDA will enable the creation of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ and an India that will cater to the needs of all sections in the future. He also thanked the people of Damoh for their overwhelming support and expressed his confidence in their support of the BJP-NDA for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
