Hon’ble National President of Bharatiya Janata Party, Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed a public meeting in Chitrakoot and Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh on Thursday and strongly criticized the policy of appeasement practiced by the Samajwadi Party and the Congress and highlighted the achievements of the Shri Narendra Modi government in the past 10 years. During the event BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Chitrakoot Shri R.K. Singh Patel, Fatehpur Candidate Sadhvi Niranjana Jyoti, Chitrakoot BJP District President Shri Lavkush Chaturvedi, Banda BJP District President Shri Sanjay Singh and other leaders were present.
Shri Nadda stated that from the enthusiasm and energy shown by the people, it’s evident that the residents of Chitrakoot have reaffirmed their decision to elect Shri R.K. Singh Patel as their Member of Parliament, thus entrusting Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji with the nation’s leadership for the third time. Chitrakoot is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and is distinguished by numerous sacred sites and revered pilgrimage destinations. Bhagwan Shri Ram lived in Chitrakoot for a period of 11.5 years during his exile. Shri Nadda said that vote has great importance in politics. If the vote is cast at the right place, it leads to development and if the vote is cast at the wrong place, it leads to destruction. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav had applied for remission of sentence of the accused of Lucknow, Varanasi and Gorakhpur bomb blasts. These people are special to Akhilesh Yadav and supporters of terrorists. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Modi Ji and UP CM Shri Yogi Adityanath Uttar Pradesh has witnessed a shift towards maintaining Law and Order and the goondas-mafia have fled from Uttar Pradesh.
Hon’ble BJP National President said that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has redefined the concept of politics in India. Ten years ago, the image of politics in the minds of the people had become extremely negative, but after Shri Narendra Modi Ji came to power, there has been a paradigm shift in Indian politics, and the nation has progressed towards the vision of a Viksit Bharat. Previously politics in the country was synonymous with casteism, nepotism, individualism, corruption, vote bank politics, and appeasement politics. Over the past decade, the Hon’ble Prime Minister has abolished casteism, nepotism, and regionalism, while advancing a politics of development based on the mantra “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.” Today, the country is witnessing a politics of performance.
Shri Nadda observed that no Congress leader has ever displayed their performance record before the public. The culture of the Modi government is characterized by delivering on promises made and even fulfilling unspoken commitments. There was a time when India was considered among the lagging nations of the world. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the global economy has faced challenges. However, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India’s economy has risen from the 11th to the 5th position worldwide. With Shri Narendra Modi Ji elected as Prime Minister for the third time, India’s economy is set to become the world’s third-largest. In the past, India relied on importing medicines, but now it has transformed into a global pharmacy. India’s pharmaceutical exports have surged by up to 138%, propelling India to become the world’s second-largest pharmaceutical producer. India is now known for manufacturing some of the most affordable and potent medicines worldwide. Additionally, India’s petrochemical exports have also witnessed a remarkable growth of up to 106%. A decade ago, mobile phones used in India were predominantly manufactured in countries like Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan, but today, India has become a hub for mobile phone production. Furthermore, India has risen to the second position globally in steel manufacturing. Ten years ago, statues of Bhagwan Ganesh worshiped on Diwali were also made in China, but today India is making idols for the world.
Hon’ble BJP National President stated that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has, with his policies, worked towards empowering the village, poor, marginalized, Dalit, youth, farmers and women, based on the mantra of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas Sabka Prayas”. Today, under the scheme Pradhan Mantri Gareeb Kalyan Ann Yojana, 5 kg of wheat or 5 kg of rice and 1 kg of lentils are being provided per person per month to 80 crore people. This has made a significant impact, as even the IMF acknowledges that 250 million people in India have moved out of poverty, and the extreme poverty in India has reduced to less than 1%. The public will send Shri Patel to the Lok Sabha by voting, ensuring the continuation of the Prime Minister Gareeb Kalyan Ann Yojana for five years, providing meals to every poor person.
Shri Nadda emphasized that under the scheme Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 40 million pucca houses have been provided to the public, equipped with a drawing room, bedroom, courtyard, kitchen with gas connection, and toilet. Furthermore, it has been decided that the electricity bill for households will be waived, and solar energy will be installed in every household under the scheme Surya Ghar Yojana, providing free electricity to the people. The savings from electricity will be utilized by the government, enhancing people’s income sources and saving their money. Gas connections, previously provided to individuals, will now be delivered through pipelines at lower prices. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has initiated the world’s largest health scheme, Ayushman Bharat, providing annual health coverage of up to ₹500,000 to fight serious illnesses, benefiting 107.4 million families and 500 million people, with 40% of India’s population covered based on profession and not just caste.
Hon’ble BJP National President highlighted that in this country, anyone above the age of 70, regardless of their mother tongue, caste, religion, creed, place of residence, or income, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji will provide a health cover of ₹500,000 under Ayushman Bharat. Anyone today can get themselves admitted to the hospital by presenting their Ayushman card and signing, and then return home after treatment, that is why Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has worked towards empowering the rural, poor, marginalized, and women, from a developmental perspective. 12 crore “Izzat Ghar” have been constructed for sisters, granting 12 crore sisters the right to live with dignity under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership, which we see as empowerment of women. Today, Uttar Pradesh’s share of taxes has increased fourfold, and Uttar Pradesh’s grant-in-aid has also increased fourfold. Previously, Uttar Pradesh was considered a “Bimaru State,” but under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath, it has emerged as a leading state and is progressing towards development.
Shri Nadda emphasized that Chitrakoot has been included in the Defence Industrial Corridor, and when this corridor is established, it will change the landscape of Chitrakoot and Banda and provide employment opportunities to the youth. AIIMS has also been provided, along with 27 new medical colleges, and similar green field expressways are being constructed, with the Bundelkhand Expressway already completed. The value of land around these expressways has increased, leading to development. Within a year, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has allocated ₹10 lakh crore for the development of Uttar Pradesh. There was a time when Banda was not safe for sisters, and traders were leaving their businesses, but now traders are being encouraged to do business here, showing the changing scenario. The circumambulation of Kamath Nath was showered with flowers, whereas once bullets were fired at pilgrims. The public will remember those incidents. The Ken-Betwa irrigation project, which will change the entire landscape of Bundelkhand and benefit farmers greatly, has been sanctioned with ₹44,000 crore by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, bringing about a complete transformation in Bundelkhand.
Hon’ble BJP National President pointed out the significance of light being understood when one experiences darkness and the pleasure of paying homage to a full moon when one is mindful of the new moon. The public has witnessed the era of Congress and Samajwadi Party, and now, a “Ghamandia Alliance” was formed, where “Shehzade Bhai” are holding joint press conferences. This alliance revolves around two ideologies: Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s call to “Remove Corruption” and their call to “Bhrashtachariyo ko Bachao.” Congress has been involved in scandals during the “Bhrashtachari Hatao” Commonwealth Games, submarine deals, the AgustaWestland deal, the 2G scam, rice scams, and numerous others. Similarly, the Samajwadi Party, during Akhilesh Yadav’s tenure, was associated with laptop scams, the mismanagement of the Gomti riverfront project, grain scams, land scams in exchange for jobs, the AlkaTara scam, and various other corrupt activities. Leaders of Mamata Banerjee’s party were involved in teacher recruitment scams, bridge scams, cow smuggling, coal scams, and ministers of the DMK were associated with scams, amassing wealth beyond their legitimate income sources. In Jharkhand, 30 crore rupees were found at the home of a political aide, and 300 crore rupees were found at the home of a minister. All of these individuals are corrupt, and Arvind Kejriwal is embroiled in a liquor scam, while K. Kavitha is serving jail time for a liquor scam. This “Ghamandia Alliance” is a congregation of corrupt individuals.
Shri Nadda pointed out that Omar Abdullah succeeded Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti followed Mufti Mohammad, Sukhbir Badal took over from Prakash Singh Badal, Akhilesh succeeded Mulayam Singh, and Rabri succeeded Lalu Yadav. In Bengal, the legacy continues with Mamata and Abhishek, while in Telangana, it’s KCR and KTR. Sharad Pawar and Supriya, Uddhav and Aditya, Sonia and Rahul are all examples of dynastic politics. Leaders like Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Lalu Prasad, Tej Pratap, numerous leaders from the TMC, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, Azam Khan, several leaders from the DMK and Stalin are either in jail or out on bail. The Ghamandia alliance is such a coalition where leaders are either on bail or in jail.
Hon’ble BJP National President criticized the Congress, alleging that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wants to alter the reservation written by Baba Saheb Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar in the Constitution by replacing reservation for Dalits and backward classes with reservation based on religion. He also condemned the controversial remarks made by Congress leader Sam Pitroda about differences in appearance among people from different regions, likening North easterners to Chinese, Northerners to English, Westerners to Arabs, and Southerners to Africans. He questioned whether this is not an insult to the sentiments of the Indian people and the country’s culture. Similarly, Karnataka’s Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s brother had suggested dividing India into North and South, implying the creation of a separate country for the South. On one hand, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, India is advancing on the path of development with the ideology of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat,’ and on the other hand, during the Congress era, India was divided along the lines of caste, religion, and ethnicity. Shri JP Nadda appealed to the people of Chitrakoot to press the ‘Lotus‘ button in the upcoming elections, ensuring the victory of Shri RK Patel and contributing to the development of India and Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.
