9 YEARS OF MODI GOVERNMENT

MEGA PUBLIC RALLY AT AJMER, RAJASTHAN

Inaugurating the mass outreach program on 31 May, 2023 Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed a massive rally at Ajmer in Rajasthan. Speaking to the people PM Shri Narendra Modi remembered the greats of Rajasthan who have nurtured the great land. The PM acknowledged the contributions of Prithiviraj Chauhan’s valour, Mirabai’s devotion and Pathik Singhji’s courage. He also paid tributes to Ahilyabai Holkar on her anniversary who championed the cause of women empowerment guiding India towards freedom.

9 years dedicated towards good governance and welfare of poor

PM Shri Modi said, “These nine years have been dedicated towards good governance and welfare of poor. The governance has been directed towards ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. The previous regime can be characterized as ridden by corruption, cities being constantly attacked upon by terrorists, unsafe conditions for women, lack of basic amenities for the poor among others.” He added that the Congress-led UPA government’s Prime Minister was controlled by a superpower, the Congress Party which was a remote- controlled Government creating unstable and inefficient policies only pandering votes for appeasement.

India has gained a position of prominence

Elaborating on the situation in the country before 2014, PM Shri Modi said, “It was your vote that changed this system of maladministration and converted it to Good Governance. Today, India has gained a position of prominence and has achieved tremendous exports. The Congress-led misrule has also fooled the people of this country on Garibi Hatao”. One big example of Congress led misrule is the universal vaccination programme for the women and children, he added further.

Distributed over 19 crore gas connections

The PM remarked, “We all have seen our mothers cook food using wood as a fuel, and the Congress government only showed apathy towards women. In 2014 there were only 14 crores gas connections showcasing how an entire generation was deprived of gas connections in the country.” To this PM Modi added, “A situation like this was simply unacceptable to me and that over the past nine years we have distributed over 19 crore gas connections to the people of this country and have subsequently improved the lives of the womenfolk in this country.” Highlighting how the BJP-led NDA Government has addressed drinking water issue, the PM stated, “BJP Government has provided the state with 9 crore water connection in 3 years.”

‘One Rank One Pension’

Mentioning about the ‘One Rank, One Pension’ scheme, the Prime Minister said,” The very soldiers who protect our country against dangers were denied pension under the ‘One Rank One Pension’. The Congress only allocated Rs. 500 crores for this while we resolved the issues by allocating Rs. 18,000 crores for the same. We also cleared the arrears.”

BJP supported small and marginal farmers

Stating that the BJP has supported the small and marginal farmers, PM Shri Modi said, “The BJP Government has increased the budget allocated towards Agriculture by six times.” Shri Modi cited the various farmer-friendly initiatives like hike in MSP, farmers’ access to markets under E-NAM, PM Fasal Bima Yojana neem coating of urea, Soil Health Cards and PM-KISAN.

Corrupt Congress

Criticising the Congress for rampant corruption, PM Shri Modi said, “Today, people are witnessing development at unprecedented levels. For this it is important that the funds meant for development are used in its entirety. Quoting Former PM Rajiv Gandhi, ‘Who said for every rupee released for development, 85 paise is taken as commission’ PM Shri Modi said this showcases the corrupt nature of the Congress Party and its motto of 85 percent commission.”

On the contrary, he said, the BJP Government has spent over Rs. 24 lakh crores on infrastructure creation off which had the Congress party been power would have siphoned off Rs. 20 lakh crores.

New Parliament building

Speaking about the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Shri Modi said that the people of India at all times have shown great grit and persistence and this was very much visible during the COVID pandemic. He appreciated the ability of the people that has enabled India attain a position of prominence globally. “However, even during the inauguration of the New Parliament Building, the Congress-led opposition forces were continuously demeaning our sense of pride, they disregarded the efforts of the 60,000 Shramiks associated with its construction,” he added.
Stating that the Congress Government only promoted appeasement, misgovernance and encouragement to crimes in the state, making it unsafe for women, PM Modi shed light on the various measures undertaken by the BJP-led NDA Government for the welfare of citizens, particularly women.

Congress lacking agenda for development

Elaborating that the Congress Party lacked any agenda for development of Rajasthan, PM Modi mentioned, “The Congress Party has only indulged in falsity and fake guarantees and does not care about the genuine concerns of the people of Rajasthan and hence for this very purpose it is important that the people of Rajasthan are vigilant and do not fall prey to these false traps set by the Congress Party.”

Concluding his remarks, Shri Narendra Modi said, “The coming seven years are going to be crucial in ushering the process of development of our country across sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, education, tourism among others and for this very purpose the support and blessings of Rajasthan as a state are extremely important and imminent.”
