Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Jan Jatiya Mahasabha in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, where he expressed his gratitude and offered his respects to the people of the region. The event witnessed an overwhelming turnout, indicative of the strong support and enthusiasm of the people towards the government's initiatives and vision for the state, PM Modi expressed happiness.

PM Modi commenced his address by paying homage to Lord Deva Zhiri Mahadev and acknowledging the sacred soil of Jhabua. He extended his respects to the indigenous communities, mothers, and sisters of the region, expressing heartfelt joy in meeting them, akin to meeting his relatives. Reflecting on the deep-rooted connection between Jhabua and Gujarat, PM Modi emphasized the geographical and emotional ties shared by the people of both regions.

Amidst the preparations for Bhagoria, PM Modi conveyed his best wishes to the community for the upcoming festivities. He announced the release of the development fund for the Adarsh Gram Yojana and the initiation of major railway projects in Madhya Pradesh, underscoring the government's commitment to enhancing connectivity and fostering progress in the region.

PM Modi clarified that his visit was not for the promotion of Lok Sabha elections but to express gratitude to the people of Madhya Pradesh. He lauded the support received in the assembly elections and highlighted the increasing public endorsement of the BJP government's governance model.

Drawing a contrast between the governance eras in Madhya Pradesh, PM Modi praised the transformative efforts of the double-engine government in propelling the state towards development. He criticized the Congress party's neglect of tribal welfare and highlighted the BJP government's initiatives aimed at empowering tribal communities.

He said, “Young people may not even remember, but today Madhya Pradesh, which was once counted among the sickest states in the country before the BJP government, is rapidly progressing on the path of development. The biggest reason behind making Madhya Pradesh sick was the Congress' hate-filled attitude towards villages, the poor, and tribal areas. They never cared about the development of tribal society or thought about their dignity. For them, the tribal people only meant some votes. They remembered villages, the poor, and the backward only when elections approached.”

PM Modi emphasized the government's focus on education, healthcare, and infrastructure development in Madhya Pradesh. He underscored the significance of the ownership scheme in providing land documents to the people and highlighted the PM JANMAN Yojana's impact on the rapid development of tribal communities.

“For us, the tribal society is not just a vote bank, but it is the pride of the nation. Your respect and your development, both are guaranteed by Modi. Modi does not approve if even a single tribal child falls behind due to lack of education. Our tribal society has been sustaining itself on forest resources for thousands of years. During the Congress era, legal barriers were imposed on the rights of tribals. By amending the forest laws, our government has returned forest rights to the tribal society” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing the Congress party's divisive tactics, PM Modi warned against their attempts to incite unrest and divide communities for political gain. He condemned Congress' attitude towards tribal society and criticized their opportunistic approach during elections.

“Congress has been in power for so many years. However, they did not worry about the untimely deaths of tribal youths and children. They knew that innocent tribal people would not hold their government responsible for diseases. This wasn't just an election issue,” said PM Modi.

Highlighting the government’s initiative towards tribal communities and their upliftment, PM Modi said, “Those who are the most deprived, the most backward, are the top priority in our government. The tribal society, which was cut off from the mainstream of development till now, has now started rapid development under the PM JANMAN Yojana. Its benefits will be for tribal communities like Baera, Bharia, and Sahariya in this region.”

Speaking of the infrastructural developmental journey in Madhya Pradesh, the Prime Minister said that the government is focusing equally on modern infrastructure in MP. In the ten years of the Congress government, MP received as much money for railway development as we are sending 24 times more to MP today.

PM Modi lashed out at Congress’ and its allies' intentions when it comes to public welfare. He said, “Those who neglect the public face this fate. Congress is now trapped in its own sins. It will struggle as much to get out of it as it struggles more. Congress and its friends have only two strengths. When they are in power, they loot. When they are out of power, they incite people. In other words, loot and unrest are the oxygen of Congress. When these are stopped, the political strength of the Congress party starts to wane. In most states, the public has shut down their loot by rejecting them from power. Now, they are trying to divide people based on caste, language, and region to regain power. But the country is watching their actions. The country will not let their schemes succeed.”

Underscoring the government’s initiatives towards empowering women and self-help groups, PM Modi said, “The Namodrone Didi campaign by the central government is also going to provide modern drones to 15 thousand self-help groups across the country. Soon, Namodrone Didis will also be seen leading the agricultural revolution in Jhabua.”

PM Modi concluded his address by expressing confidence in the continued progress of Madhya Pradesh with the support of its people. He thanked the audience for their overwhelming presence and reiterated his commitment to the state's development and prosperity.

PM Modi addresses a mega public meeting in Ernakulam, Keralam
March 11, 2026
You have given Congress and Left more than 70 years. Now give a chance so that BJP-NDA serves you. You will see a great glimpse of #ViksitKeralam: PM
I am also grateful that the governments in Gulf countries are protecting our citizens. Our Indian embassies are helping them 24x7, says PM Modi
To reduce dependence on petrol and diesel, electric vehicles are being promoted. 100 percent electrification of railways is being carried out: PM Modi
Congress-led UDF is now MMC- Muslim League Maoist Congress, while LDF has long-standing ties with extremist elements like the PDP: PM Modi

Amid a massive gathering in Ernakulam today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the enthusiasm and confidence of the people reflected a strong aspiration for Keralam’s development and a new political direction in the state. He emphasised that the aspirations of the people clearly indicate a desire for faster growth and new opportunities.

Expressing confidence in the people’s mandate, PM Modi said, “The 21st century is a crucial time for Keralam. The state needs a new future and a new beginning. I am happy that the people of Keralam have decided to come out of the cycle of LDF and UDF. The confidence visible in this massive public meeting shows that people are ready for change.”

Highlighting the vision of a double-engine government, He stated Keralam possesses immense natural and human potential. He noted that the state has nature, culture, talent, technology and the blessings of the vast sea. However, he remarked that despite these strengths, development had not progressed at the desired pace due to alternating governments and political patterns that slowed long-term progress.

Calling for a new political direction, PM Modi iterated, “For rapid development, this pattern must change. You have given Congress and the Left more than seventy years. Now give BJP-NDA the next five years and you will see the vision of a Viksit Keralam take shape. You have Modi’s guarantee, what has not changed until now will change and Keralam will move forward.”

The Prime Minister said the vision of BJP-NDA is to position Keralam as a global hub for wellness, tourism and cultural experiences. He said, “For a Viksit Keralam, we must create new opportunities in tourism, talent and technology. The youth of Keralam have tremendous capability, and they should lead new sectors like startups, innovation and emerging technologies.”

Highlighting economic priorities, the PM stated, “Our government has ensured financial support and security for fishermen. Fishermen have been provided access to credit through the Kisan Credit Card and insurance coverage of up to five lakh rupees. Major projects like the Vizhinjam International Seaport show our commitment to strengthening the Blue Economy.”

Addressing concerns related to developments in the Gulf region, PM Modi said the government remains fully committed to the safety and welfare of Indian citizens working abroad. “Whenever any Indian citizen has faced danger anywhere in the world, India has made every effort to bring them back safely. Our embassies and missions are working round the clock to ensure help, food, medical care and support for our people,” he said.

“Whether it was rescuing nurses trapped in Iraq or securing the release of Father Tom from terrorists in Yemen, today’s India does not leave its citizens alone in times of crisis. We also brought Father Alexis Prem Kumar safely back from Afghanistan. Even today, our effort is to ensure safety and every possible assistance for Indians caught in difficult situations,” he added.

Coming down heavily on the Congress, PM Modi said, “It is unfortunate that even in such a serious global situation, the Congress party is indulging in politics. Congress leaders are making provocative statements so that the situation worsens, our people face difficulties and then they can start a campaign of abusing Modi.”

Highlighting the importance of self-reliance, PM Modi said, “India is continuously working to become self-reliant in the energy sector. Solar power capacity is expanding, electric mobility is being promoted and railway electrification is progressing rapidly. These steps are strengthening India’s long-term energy security.”

“On one hand, the BJP-NDA government is working tirelessly to make India self-reliant. On the other hand, Congress and the Left are busy mocking the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign. When they were in power, they only increased the country’s dependence on foreign nations. Even today, at a time when the world is facing conflict, Congress, the Left and their ecosystem are spreading rumours and creating panic. I urge the people of the country to stay alert and cautious against such misinformation.”

Criticising political opponents in the state, the Prime Minister said LDF and UDF represent two sides of the same system. He alleged that both groups have been associated with corruption, stalled development and divisive politics, which have hindered the progress of the state.

He continued, “When UDF was in power, the state witnessed the solar scam. Today, under LDF rule, the CMRL scam is dominating the headlines. Look at their partnership even in controversies around the Sabarimala temple. There are allegations of gold loot against leaders of one side and accusations of selling the looted gold against leaders of the other.”

Taking a swipe at the UDF and LDF, PM Modi asserted, "On one side is the UDF led by the Congress, which has now become MMC - Muslim League Maoist Congress. To win elections in Keralam, Congress depends on organisations like Jamaat and others whose radical agendas threaten the peace of the state. On the other side, the LDF has long-standing ties with extremist elements like the PDP, whose leaders are known for spreading extremism among the youth. Therefore, the people of Keralam must remain cautious of both UDF and LDF.”

Calling for a new mandate, the Prime Minister concluded by saying, “The goal of BJP is the development of the nation and the development of Keralam. With a BJP-NDA government here and a double-engine government, Keralam will move ahead with double the speed toward prosperity and growth.”
