Addressing a massive rally in Jammu, PM Modi began his speech by paying tribute to Shaheed Sardar Bhagat Singh on his birth anniversary, honoring him as a source of inspiration for millions of Indian youth. In his final rally for the J&K assembly elections, PM Modi reflected on his visits across Jammu and Kashmir over the past weeks, noting the tremendous enthusiasm for the BJP everywhere he went.

He remarked, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir are tired of the three-family rule of Congress, NC, and PDP. They no longer want a regime of corruption and job discrimination; instead, they desire peace, prosperity, and a better future for their children. For this reason, they are placing their trust in a BJP government.”

PM Modi highlighted the heavy voting in favor of the BJP during the first two phases of the Jammu and Kashmir elections, stating that the mood of the people is clear. He emphasized that a full majority BJP government is now certain, marking a historic moment for the Jammu region. He urged the people not to miss this opportunity, assuring them that the BJP government will address every grievance and end decades of discrimination against Jammu. He guaranteed that this Vijaya Dashami will be a moment of new beginnings for everyone, establishing that across Jammu, Samba, and Kathua, only one slogan is echoing— "Jammu ki yahi pukar… aa rahi hai BJP Sarkar!"

PM Modi reminded the people of Jammu about the days when border areas were constantly under fire. He recalled how news of ceasefire violations was a daily occurrence, with Congress responding by showing white flags. However, the BJP government responded to bullets with shells, bringing the adversaries to their senses. The PM also marked the anniversary of the 2016 surgical strikes, stating that India had shown the world what the "New India" is capable of, “yeh ghar main ghus kar marta hain!” He openly challenged that terror leaders now know that if they dare to act, “Modi will hunt them down, even from the depths of the earth.”

PM Modi heavily criticized the Congress party for demanding proof of the surgical strikes and for echoing Pakistan's language regarding the operations. He questioned whether the public could ever forgive a party that disrespects those who sacrifice for the nation. He pointed out that Congress neglected soldiers' families for decades, delaying the implementation of One Rank One Pension (OROP) while falsely claiming it would burden the treasury. In contrast, after the BJP came to power in 2014, OROP was implemented, benefiting military families significantly. He also mentioned that “recently, OROP has been revised to provide even greater financial support to these families.”

PM Modi condemned the Congress, National Conference, and PDP as enemies of the Constitution, accusing them of stifling its spirit. He highlighted how many families in Jammu had been denied the right to vote for generations due to these parties' actions. “The BJP,” he stated, “has restored this right to these citizens, including those from West Pakistan, PoK, Gorkha communities, and Valmiki families, who have significantly contributed to the nation.”

The PM further asserted, “The BJP is committed to addressing the historic discrimination faced by Jammu. Over the past decade, the region has gained major institutions such as IIT, IIM, and AIIMS. New roads are being constructed in the Kandi region of Kathua and Samba districts, and the Chattergala Tunnel will enhance connectivity between Kathua and Doda. Unlike Congress, which viewed border villages as the last, the BJP has prioritized them as the first. Through the Vibrant Village Program, the development of border-adjacent villages is now underway.”

PM Modi confided in the public and asked them to take a leap of faith, stating that “the BJP aims to empower mothers, sisters, and daughters economically, increasing their contribution to family income. To achieve this, we are supporting women's SHGs and transforming Jammu and Kashmir's women into "Lakhpati Didis." Additionally, we have launched a significant initiative to train women as drone pilots for agriculture, providing them with training and government-provided drones.”

He shared a heartfelt experience with the crowd, mentioning, “A local elder shared on social media that his golden card enabled him to undergo three surgeries, and his son received free treatment. He expressed gratitude for the card, which has saved his life.” He added, “I'm pleased to announce that the Jammu and Kashmir BJP has promised to increase free treatment coverage to ₹7 lakh.”

In his concluding remarks, the PM positively observed that he will leave no stone unturned to fulfill every wish and need of Jammu and Kashmir. “The decision to make Jammu and Kashmir a Union Territory is temporary; only the BJP will restore its status as a full state,” he assured.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries in Delhi, earlier today. The three-day Conference was held in Pusa, Delhi from 26 to 28 December, 2025.

Prime Minister observed that this conference marks another decisive step in strengthening the spirit of cooperative federalism and deepening Centre-State partnership to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised that Human Capital comprising knowledge, skills, health and capabilities is the fundamental driver of economic growth and social progress and must be developed through a coordinated Whole-of-Government approach.

The Conference included discussions around the overarching theme of ‘Human Capital for Viksit Bharat’. Highlighting India's demographic advantage, the Prime Minister stated that nearly 70 percent of the population is in the working-age group, creating a unique historical opportunity which, when combined with economic progress, can significantly accelerate India's journey towards Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister said that India has boarded the “Reform Express”, driven primarily by the strength of its young population, and empowering this demographic remains the government’s key priority. Prime Minister noted that the Conference is being held at a time when the country is witnessing next-generation reforms and moving steadily towards becoming a major global economic power.

He further observed that Viksit Bharat is synonymous with quality and excellence and urged all stakeholders to move beyond average outcomes. Emphasising quality in governance, service delivery and manufacturing, the Prime Minister stated that the label "Made in India' must become a symbol of excellence and global competitiveness.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to strengthen Aatmanirbharta, stating that India must pursue self-reliance with zero defect in products and minimal environmental impact, making the label 'Made in India' synonymous with quality and strengthen our commitment to 'Zero Effect, Zero Defect.’ He urged the Centre and States to jointly identify 100 products for domestic manufacturing to reduce import dependence and strengthen economic resilience in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to map skill demand at the State and global levels to better design skill development strategies. In higher education too, he suggested that there is a need for academia and industry to work together to create high quality talent.

For livelihoods of youth, Prime Minister observed that tourism can play a huge role. He highlighted that India has a rich heritage and history with a potential to be among the top global tourist destinations. He urged the States to prepare a roadmap for creating at least one global level tourist destination and nourishing an entire tourist ecosystem.

PM Modi said that it is important to align the Indian national sports calendar with the global sports calendar. India is working to host the 2036 Olympics. India needs to prepare infrastructure and sports ecosystem at par with global standards. He observed that young kids should be identified, nurtured and trained to compete at that time. He urged the States that the next 10 years must be invested in them, only then will India get desired results in such sports events. Organising and promoting sports events and tournaments at local and district level and keeping data of players will create a vibrant sports environment.

PM Modi said that soon India would be launching the National Manufacturing Mission (NMM). Every State must give this top priority and create infrastructure to attract global companies. He further said that it included Ease of Doing Business, especially with respect to land, utilities and social infrastructure. He also called upon states to encourage manufacturing, boost ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and strengthen the services sector. In the services sector, PM Modi said that there should be greater emphasis on other areas like Healthcare, education, transport, tourism, professional services, AI, etc. to make India a Global Services Giant.

Prime Minister also emphasized that as India aspires to be the food basket of the world, we need to shift to high value agriculture, dairy, fisheries, with a focus on exports. He pointed out that the PM Dhan Dhanya Scheme has identified 100 districts with lower productivity. Similarly, in learning outcomes States must identify the lowest 100 districts and must work on addressing the issues around the low indicators.

PM also urged the States to use Gyan Bharatam Mission for digitization of manuscripts. He said that States may start a Abhiyan to digitize such manuscripts available in States. Once these manuscripts are digitized, Al can be used for synthesizing the wisdom and knowledge available.

Prime Minister noted that the Conference reflects India’s tradition of collective thinking and constructive policy dialogue, and that the Chief Secretaries Conference, institutionalised by the Government of India, has become an effective platform for collective deliberation.

Prime Minister emphasised that States should work in tandem with the discussions and decisions emerging from both the Chief Secretaries and the DGPs Conferences to strengthen governance and implementation.

Prime Minister suggested that similar conferences could be replicated at the departmental level to promote a national perspective among officers and improve governance outcomes in pursuit of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister also said that all States and UTs must prepare capacity building plan along with the Capacity Building Commission. He said that use of Al in governance and awareness on cyber security is need of the hour. States and Centre have to put emphasis on cyber security for the security of every citizen.

Prime Minister said that the technology can provide secure and stable solutions through our entire life cycle. There is a need to utilise technology to bring about quality in governance.

In the conclusion, Prime Minister said that every State must create 10-year actionable plans based on the discussions of this Conference with 1, 2, 5 and 10 year target timelines wherein technology can be utilised for regular monitoring.

The three-day Conference emphasised on special themes which included Early Childhood Education; Schooling; Skilling; Higher Education; and Sports and Extracurricular Activities recognising their role in building a resilient, inclusive and future-ready workforce.
