Continuing his election campaigning spree, PM Modi addressed a rally in Punjab’s Fazilka. Addressing the huge rally, he said, “Today Punjab needs a government that draws inspiration from patriotism, should be for the development of Punjab. BJP has come before you with dedication, with the resolve of security and development of Punjab.”

Talking about the benefits of BJP+ government, PM Modi asserted, “Double engine government in Punjab would mean development, bringing an end to sand and drug mafia, new energy in industrial units and employment opportunities for the youth.”

Highlighting the commitments fulfilled by his government for farmers’ welfare, PM Modi reiterated, “Under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, the central government has directly transferred more than Rs 3,700 crore to the bank accounts of farmers of Punjab. This has benefited more than 23 lakh farmers of Punjab.” The PM slammed the Congress party for always betraying farmers, he said, “There was long pending demand to implement recommendations of Swaminathan Commission. They sat on those files but kept lying. When we formed our Government at the Centre, we implemented those recommendations.”

He also spoke about several other central schemes – from Ayushman Bharat to Ujala Yojana, he stated, “Under the PM Awas Yojana of the central government, more than 75 thousand houses are being built in Punjab. Under the Ujala scheme, we also distributed lakhs of LED bulbs to reduce electricity bills in Punjab.”


Slamming CM Channi and Priyanka Vadra for humiliating people of UP, Bihar and Delhi, PM Modi remarked, “Statements from the current Chief Minister is a reflection of Congress’s shallow thinking. The statement given by him was applauded by a member of the family in Delhi and has been seen by the whole country. Who are they insulting with such statements?”

“Congress has always been instigating fights between the people of one region against another. A lot of villages here see people from UP-Bihar come here and work diligently to help the economy of Punjab.
Revered people like Sant Ravidas Ji and Guru Gobind Ji were born outside Punjab and are now an inalienable part of Punjab,” he added.

Attacking the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party at a rally in Fazilka, PM Narendra Modi said, “The two are partners in crime. Both of them questioned the valour of our soldiers after the Pathankot incident. They maligned our martyrs. They are again questioning the bravery of our soldiers. They want to increase the network of drugs in Punjab. They raise their voice against the increasing rights of BSF on the border.”


PM Modi further remarked, “These people have ill agendas towards Punjab, they are even ready to collude with separatists for this. They want to remain in power and that’s their only agenda.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi encouraged first-time voters to choose the BJP and its alliance in the upcoming assembly election that will help strengthen the state even more.
