MODI: ACTION AGAINST
said.
“When Modi is fighting corruption with full force, they have formed an INDI alliance, they think Modi will get scared but India is my family. Many corrupt people are in jail, they are not getting bail from courts,” he said.
“Modi is not going to stop no matter how many attacks they launch,” he said.
Criticising the INDIA bloc, he said, “They can neither think about the welfare of the country’s soldiers nor farmers nor fishermen.”
The Prime Minister attacked the Congress for giving away Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka.
“The Congress committed a sin by chopping and handing over a limb of Bharat Maa to Sri Lanka,” he said.
Earlier, Modi began his speech with “Ram Ram”.
The Prime Minister also mentioned developmental works and welfare schemes implemented during his 10-year tenure and sought to connect with farmers in this agricultural belt by reminding people how his government conferred Bharat Ratna on Chaudhary Charan Singh posthumously. “Our government got the privilege of giving him Bharat Ratna, I pay tribute to Chaudhary Saheb,” the Prime Minister said.
After the Modi government had announced the Bharat Ratna decision in February, Jayant Chaudhary had lauded the move with his comment “dil jeet liya” on X.
Thereafter, Jayant joined the NDA, snapping his ties with the Samajwadi Party. It was his first appearance on the stage with Modi here on Sunday.
Addressing the gathering, Jayant Chaudhary expressed his gratitude to the government for conferring Bharat Ratna on Chaudhary Charan Singh.
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath also addressed the rally and said “People have faith in Modi’s guarantee and they will give him a third term as prime minister.”
On his part, the Prime Minister further said, “I have a deep association with Meerut as I started the election campaign in 2014 and 2019 here and now the first rally of the 2024 elections is being held here.”
“The 2024 elections are not only about forming a government but its mandate will make India the third largest economic superpower in the world. When India was the 11th largest economy in the world, there was poverty all around. When it reached the fifth position, 25 crore (250 million) people came out of poverty. When India reaches number three, poverty will not only go away in India, but the country will also get new energy,” he said.
He reiterated “India’s time has come. Today, India is taking unprecedented decisions on
the construction of infrastructure, countless opportunities are being created for the youth, women power is coming forward with new resolve.”
“The whole world is watching India with confidence, our government has also started preparing for its third term. We are making a roadmap for five years, what decisions have to be taken in 100 days after the formation of the government, what is the development plan in 10 years,” he said.
“Modi is not only worried about the present generation but also about the future generations. The 10-year report card of the NDA government is in front of you, many works have been done in the 10 years which were considered impossible. A grand temple of Ram Lalla wase built in Ayodhya. Our soldiers had given up hope of one rank, one pension, we implemented it, gave Rs. 1 lakh crore to the ex-servicemen as their right,” he said.
Modi also said the law against triple talaq has been saving the lives of thousands of Muslim sisters, reservation to women in Lok Sabha and assemblies seemed impossible, but Matra Shakti Vandan Act made it possible and Article 370 has been removed from Jammu and Kashmir.
PM also mentioned multiple welfare schemes and how they have benefitted poor people.
He said he understood the pain and suffering of every poor person. Therefore, the Ayushman Bharat scheme was launched providing health insurance cover for medical treatment of up to Rs 5 lakh, 80 crore (800 million) poor are being given free ration, which no one has done before, he said.
He also said the government opened crores of bank accounts of the poor, gave four crore (40 million) pucca houses, more than 11 crore (110 million) toilets, provided electricity connections in over 2.5 crore (25 million) houses , security and respect to mothers, sisters and daughters in the country. The coming five years are going to be prosperous for women, he said.
He also mentioned ongoing construction of over two lakh godowns for storage of grains.
The country’s first Namo Bharat Corridor is being built from Delhi to Meerut, he said, adding that work is being done on the Meerut Metro as well.
“Expressways are being built, Dhyan Chand Sports University is being constructed in Meerut,” he said.
He appealed to people to ensure the victory of Arun Govil (BJP candidate from Meerut), famous for having essayed the role of Ram in the popular TV serial Ramayan, Rajkumar Sangwan (RLD, Baghpat), Union minister Sanjeev Balyan (BJP, Muzaffarnagar), Chandan Chauhan (RLD, Bijnor) and Pradeep Chaudhary (BJP, Kairana).
