Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed massive gatherings in Palamu and Lohardaga, Jharkhand, where he highlighted the achievements of his government and warned against the dangers posed by the Congress and its allies. Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi emphasized the significance of each vote and the transformative impact it can have on the nation.
PM Modi began his address by reminding the audience of the pivotal role their votes played in the 2014 elections, which led to the formation of the BJP-NDA government and the removal of the corrupt Congress regime. He underscored the remarkable progress India has witnessed under his leadership, citing the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya after 500 years and the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir as significant milestones.
“Today, India’s trumpet is sounding loud across the world. Whether it’s Naxalism or terrorism, now they are taking their last breaths,” PM Modi said, emphasizing the decisive action taken against these threats.
Highlighting the contrast between his government and the previous Congress administration, PM Modi recalled the era of “love letters to Pakistan” and the subsequent terrorist attacks. He asserted, “Today, new India does not give a dossier, it strikes them in their hideouts,” referring to the surgical and airstrike operations that shook Pakistan.
Reflecting on his decades of service, PM Modi emphasized his commitment to serving the nation and his dedication to eradicating corruption. “With your blessings, there is no allegation of corruption against me,” he said, stressing the importance of the trust placed in him by the people.
“I have been serving the country as CM and PM for nearly 25 years. With your blessings, there is no allegation of corruption against me. The prayers of my mother and sisters are enough for me. I am still far from power, prestige, and comfort. Modi was born not for pleasure but for a mission,” he added.
Addressing the issue of wealth accumulation by the leaders of the JMM-Congress alliance, PM Modi condemned their corrupt practices and contrasted their self-serving motives with his vision for a developed India. “My heirs are all of you, your children, your grandchildren,” he declared, highlighting his focus on empowering every Indian.
PM Modi also outlined the transformative impact of his government’s schemes on the lives of the poor and marginalized. He cited the example of Palamu, where initiatives like the Aspirational Districts Programme have significantly improved infrastructure and quality of life.
“Before and after the launch of the Ambitious District Program in Palamu, there’s a huge difference today,” PM Modi said, noting the increase in pucca houses, access to electricity, and digital connectivity in the region.
Warning against the Congress and its allies, PM Modi cautioned the audience about their intentions to undermine reservation policies and exploit resources for political gain. He urged the people to reject such divisive politics and support the BJP-NDA alliance, which has consistently prioritized the interests of tribals and marginalized communities.
“In the last 10 years, Modi has given you a solid house, electricity, gas, water,” PM Modi said, urging the people to continue their support in the upcoming elections. PM Modi reiterated his commitment to the welfare of every Indian and called upon the people of Palamu to vote for development and progress on May 13.
Addressing the second rally in Lohardaga, Jharkhand, PM Modi highlighted the significance of the tribal leader’s legacy. “I am the first Prime Minister of the country to have the honor of paying respects to his village. Bhagwan Birsa Munda is not just a name for me. He is an inspiration for me,” said PM Modi.
PM Modi emphasized his dedication to serving the poor and marginalized sections of society, despite facing criticism. “When I work for the poor, for the tribals, I face many criticisms. But I am only committed to your service,” he stated. Pointing out the transformative impact of his government’s initiatives such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the Digital India program, PM Modi remarked, “Today, see if the situation in villages has changed or not. Today, the youth of my village are social media heroes.”
The Prime Minister criticized the Congress party for its history of corruption and nepotism. “In their 60 years of rule, Congress gave the country nepotism, and corruption. When Congress wears glasses, it only sees one vote bank, and that is the Muslim vote bank,” he said, contrasting it with BJP’s inclusive development agenda.
PM Modi also addressed concerns regarding Naxalism and the security situation in Jharkhand. He highlighted the progress made in combating terrorism and ensuring the safety of tribal communities under his government’s leadership. “It is the policies of Congress that gave rise to Naxalism’s bloody violence in the country. But what is happening in Jharkhand is dangerous. Here, there is a game of promoting infiltrators and snatching the land of tribal families,” PM Modi warned.
During his concluding address, PM Modi urged the people of Jharkhand to support BJP candidates in the upcoming elections. “This election is to form a strong government for a strong country,” he added. Also, the Prime Minister reiterated his commitment to serving the people and ensuring the development of Jharkhand.
