After several decades, it is the first time that Terrorism, Bandhs, stone pelting, border skirmishes are not the issues for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state of JandK
For a Viksit Bharat, a Viksit JandK is imminent. The NC, PDP and the Congress parties are dynastic parties who do not wish for the holistic development of JandK
Abrogation of Article 370 has enabled equal constitutional rights for all, record increase in tourism and establishment of I.I.M. and I.I.T. for quality educational prospects in JandK
The I.N.D.I alliance have disregarded the culture as well as the development of India, and a direct example of this is the opposition and boycott of the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram
In the advent of continuing their politics of appeasement, the leaders of I.N.D.I alliance lived in big bungalows but forced Ram Lalla to live in a tent

Udhampur showered unparalleled affection on PM Modi as he addressed a public rally in JandK ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. He said, “After several decades, it is the first time that terrorism, bandhs, stone pelting, and border skirmishes are not the issues for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state of J&K.” He said, “Before 2014 even the Amarnath and Vaishno Devi Yatra was ridden with problems but post-2014, J&K has seen only increasing confidence and development.” He said that owing to the same, there is a great sentiment for a strong government and hence ‘Fir ek Baar Modi Sarkar.’

Speaking on the development of Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi reiterated, “In the last 60 years, JandK saw constant underdevelopment, but in the last ten years, it has seen unprecedented development with the last-mile reach of developmental benefits to all.” He added, “For a Viksit Bharat, a Viksit Jammu and Kashmir is imminent.” Lamenting the dynastic parties like PDP, NC and Congress, PM Modi said, “The NC, PDP and the Congress parties are dynastic parties who do not wish for the holistic development of JandK.”

Elaborating on the historic abrogation of Article 370, PM Modi said, “The abrogation of Article 370 was a big and bold decision by our government that has opened the doors for the holistic development of Jammu and Kashmir.” He added, “Abrogation of Article 370 has enabled equal constitutional rights for all, record increase in tourism and establishment of IIM and IIT for quality educational prospects in the state.” PM Modi highlighted the importance of development for a state like J&K, saying, “Our government has aimed to eliminate corruption and foster the development of J&K.” He added that we aim to ensure record investments for Jammu and Kashmir.

Taking a dig at the opposition I.N.D.I alliance, PM Modi said, “The I.N.D.I alliance have disregarded the culture as well as the development of India, and a direct example of this is the opposition and boycott of the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram.” He added, “The I.N.D.I alliance has cited the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram as an issue for elections but they forget that this movement has been ongoing for over 500 years.” He remarked, “In the advent of continuing their politics of appeasement, the leaders of I.N.D.I alliance lived in big bungalows but forced Ram Lalla to live in a tent.”

Lamenting the I.N.D.I alliance appeasement politics, PM Modi said, “I.N.D.I alliance only indulges in appeasement politics disregarding India’s culture.” He added that the leaders of the I.N.D.I alliance have posted on social media eating Non-Veg especially during the holy month of Navratri. He added that such acts show that the I.N.D.I alliance does not care for the sentiments and values of the Indian people and simply indulge in divisive politics.

In conclusion, PM Modi said, “To enable robust development of J&K, we must collectively ensure that the dynastic parties are thoroughly defeated in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He thanked the people of Udhampur for turning out in large numbers and expressed his confidence in the voters to ensure the BJP emerges victorious in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Tiruchirappalli turns out in huge numbers for PM Modi’s public meeting
March 11, 2026
Tamil Nadu wants change. Tamil Nadu wants NDA: PM Modi
By elevating Madurai Airport to international status, we are bringing the world to the doorstep of Madurai: PM’s announcement
I promise you that under the NDA, the women of Tamil Nadu will live without fear: PM Modi assures at Tiruchirappalli rally
In every situation, our government puts India First. Just as 140 crore Indians showed maturity during the COVID pandemic, I am confident we will navigate every challenge successfully: PM Modi in Tamil Nadu
In DMK rule, everything starts and ends with one family. Ministers may change, MLAs may change, but power remains with a single dynasty: PM Modi’s sharp criticism

At a massive public meeting in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruchirappalli, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed Tiruchirappalli as a land of courage and faith, recalling the bravery of the Marudu Brothers and paying tribute to Major M. Saravanan for his sacrifice during the Kargil War. “Trichy is a land of courage and faith,” he said, adding that the Centre proudly honours Tamil Nadu’s culture and heritage. He also highlighted that C. P. Radhakrishnan, a son of the state, serves as the Vice President of India.

Speaking about his deep connection with the people of Tamil Nadu, PM Modi said that whether through rallies in the state, personal meetings across the country or programmes like the Kashi Tamil Sangamam, he has always made efforts to engage with the Tamil community. “Just like the river Kaveri flows with unstoppable force during Aadi Maasam, the desire for change in Tamil Nadu is also gaining huge momentum,” he said, asserting that people now want a government that works for every family, not just one.


Underlining major investments in Tamil Nadu’s development, PM Modi noted that his recent visits to Trichy and Madurai were linked with the launch of projects worth thousands of crores. He said the projects announced during the current visit alone are worth around ₹5,600 crore and cover sectors such as clean energy, manufacturing, highways, railways and rural roads. These investments, he added, will create thousands of employment opportunities for the youth.


Highlighting improvements in connectivity, the PM spoke about the modern terminal built at Trichy Airport and the decision to grant international status to Madurai Airport. “By elevating Madurai Airport to international status, we are bringing the world to the doorstep of Madurai,” he said. He added that this will boost tourism, pilgrimage and trade, noting that even products like the famous Madurai Malli flowers could now reach global markets within hours.


Launching a sharp attack on the ruling party, PM Modi accused the DMK of betraying the mandate given by the people in 2021. “In DMK rule, everything starts and ends with one family. Ministers may change, MLAs may change, but power remains with a single dynasty,” he said. He further alleged that corruption had become institutionalised, claiming that Tamil Nadu was being treated as an ‘ATM for one family’.

Raising concerns about farmers’ welfare, PM Modi stated the farmers of the Cauvery delta are the backbone of Tamil Nadu’s food security and deserve better infrastructure and fair prices. He accused the state government of failing to deliver on promises, such as building grain warehouses and increasing the MSP for paddy, while also expressing concern about illegal sand mining damaging rivers and the environment.

Highlighting women’s empowerment initiatives, PM Modi said the Union Government’s policies have significantly expanded financial inclusion and economic opportunities for women. He pointed to schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, noting that crores of women have benefited through bank accounts, entrepreneurial loans and home ownership.

The Prime Minister alleged that crimes against women had increased under the current government. “I promise you that under the NDA, the women of Tamil Nadu will live without fear. We will ensure strong law and order where criminals fear the law, not the people,” he said.

Addressing global developments, PM Modi spoke about the ongoing conflict in West Asia and its impact on global energy supply chains. He urged people not to panic and to rely only on verified information. “In every situation, our government puts India First. Just as 140 crore Indians showed maturity during the COVID pandemic, I am confident we will navigate every challenge successfully,” he said.

Concluding with a call for political change, the Prime Minister said the upcoming election presents a clear choice between corruption and dynasty politics on one side, and development and honest governance on the other. “Let your voice from Trichy echo across the state. Tamil Nadu wants change. Tamil Nadu wants NDA,” he said.
