In the heart of Bagalkote, Karnataka, PM Modi stirs up excitement as he addresses a public rally

Karnataka which is known as a ‘tech hub’ and has made its name in the world, Congress has made it a 'tanker hub': PM Modi
Congress isn't running a govt in Karnataka but an 'extortion gang', says PM Modi in Bagalkote
Congress party has made Karnataka its 'ATM'. In such a short time, these people have emptied the government treasury of Karnataka: PM
These elections aim to build a Viksit Bharat, an Aatmanirbhar Bharat and transforming the country into the world's third largest economy: PM Modi

PM Modi graced a public event in Bagalkote, Karnataka, where he showered his love and admiration on the crowd. The PM discussed the BJP’s commitment to making a Viksit Karnataka and a Viksit Bharat. He also exposed the harsh realities of the opposition that might pose as impending forces on the road to development and growth.

Commencing his spirited speech, PM Modi mentioned one of his guarantees among the infinite, “Our resolve is that we will make India a manufacturing hub and skill centre. Only those whose vision is – 24/7 for 2047 can fulfil this resolution. That is why today the whole country is saying – Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar!”

PM Modi launched his angst against the Opposition and criticised heavily, “Can we entrust the country's responsibility to the Congress, whose only agenda is to plunder the nation when in power? In its 60 years of rule, the Congress has forged its own identity. The Congress has turned Karnataka into an ATM for its corruption. In such a short time, they have emptied the state treasury. MLAs are unable to access funds for development on time. Every public interest scheme has fallen victim to Congress corruption. That's why I say - Where Congress goes, destruction follows.”

Expressing his grief over the current scenario in Karnataka, PM Modi observed, “In Karnataka, the Congress party isn't running the government; it's operating an extortion racket. The entire administration is preoccupied with recovering money, funnelling it into the treasury, only to siphon it off for their own gain. Our once renowned Tech Hub, Karnataka, and Bengaluru, have been reduced to Tanker Hub by the Congress government. The tanker mafia is extorting money from people for water, with a share of the commission finding its way into the pockets of Congress members.”

The PM also reflected on the sheer mismanagement of the country by the opposition and mentioned, “In the last 10 years, Modi has addressed the plight of every class that suffered under Congress rule. Now, they claim they can eradicate poverty in one stroke. But their 60 years in power and the suffering of countless families testify to their neglect of the underprivileged. Before Modi, 18,000 villages in our country lacked electricity. Imagine 18,000 villages, with crores of people deprived of electricity in the 21st century. As night fell, silence engulfed these villages, with the constant danger from animals looming. For generations, children didn't even have light to study. But Modi made a promise - to provide electricity to every village in the country.”


Attacking the Congress government over the Hubballi murder incident, Prime Minister Modi said that the whole nation is worried about the law and order situation in Karnataka, adding that the Congress party is desperate to destroy the state. "The Congress government is busy destroying Karnataka. Instead of controlling crime, Congress is promoting an anti-social and anti-national mindset," the Prime Minister said.


PM Modi accused that in Karnataka, extremist forces have become rampant. He pointed out incidents where a shopkeeper is attacked for listening to Hanuman Chalisa within his shop, and terrorist attack occurred in Bangalore, with attempts made to downplay them. These are not normal crime incidents. This reflects the mentality of terrorism and extremism. PM Modi alleged that the Congress party is promoting this mentality solely to gain votes.


PM Modi tore into the Congress party in his Bagalkote address and said, “Due to Congress's vote bank politics, the rights of SC-ST communities are no longer secure in the country. On one hand, the BJP government in Karnataka granted Scheduled Tribe status to the Talavara community. More than 3 lakh families in Karnataka have been issued Hukku Patra. However, in Karnataka, the Congress has initiated a campaign to amend the constitution and strip away the rights of SC/ST/OBC communities. The Karnataka government has allocated a portion of OBC reservation to Muslims. They had previously mentioned in their manifesto about making laws to provide reservation based on religion.”

While addressing the rally, PM Modi encouraged voters to participate in large numbers and cast their votes. He stated, "Your vote on May 7th will answer those who engage in vote bank politics."

Prime Minister to kickstart rollout of several key Central Agricultural Schemes in West Bengal. These schemes include Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Agri Stack as part of the Digital Agriculture Mission, National Mission on Natural Farming and Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana

Prime Minister will launch the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)in West Bengal, extending the benefits of the world’s largest crop insurance scheme to farmers in the State. During 2026–27, the initiative aims to provide insurance coverage to nearly 50 LAKH farmers across about 14 lakh hectares of agricultural land in the state of West Bengal, protecting crops with an estimated insured value of around ₹28,140 crore while supporting farmers through substantial premium subsidy.

As part of the Digital Agriculture Mission, Prime Minister will launch AgriStack in West Bengal, enabling a unified digital platform for verified agriculture-related services such as fertiliser distribution, Kisan Credit Cards, Direct Benefit Transfers and procurement under the Minimum Support Price system. The initiative will strengthen digital governance in agriculture and facilitate efficient delivery of farmer-centric services.

Under the approved Annual Action Plan for 2026–27, the State will establish 346 natural farming clusters covering 17,300 hectares, while also creating Bio-Input Resource Centres and mobilising Krishi Sakhis to strengthen adoption of eco-friendly farming practices.

In a major step towards integrated agricultural development, Prime Minister will also initiate the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY) in West Bengal. The scheme will cover the districts of Purulia, Darjeeling, Alipurduar and Jhargram with a focus on improving agricultural productivity, promoting crop diversification and sustainable farming, strengthening post-harvest infrastructure and irrigation facilities, enhancing access to institutional credit, and ensuring convergence of multiple Central and State schemes for holistic rural development.

Equipped with modern healthcare infrastructure, advanced diagnostic facilities, specialist medical services and emergency care facilities, the hospital will significantly strengthen healthcare services for railway beneficiaries and the people of the region.

PM in Kolkata

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will lead the national observance of the 12th International Day of Yoga from Red Road in Kolkata. Prime Minister will address the gathering and participate in the Common Yoga Protocol session along with thousands of Yoga practitioners.

The theme of International Day of Yoga 2026, “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”, highlights the role of Yoga in promoting physical health, mental well-being, emotional resilience and active ageing, thereby contributing to an improved quality of life. The theme is particularly relevant in an era of increasing life expectancy and growing emphasis on healthy, active and dignified ageing. Since its inception in 2015, when the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted India’s proposal to observe 21st June as IDY, Prime Minister has led the celebrations from various locations including New Delhi, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Mysuru, New York (UN Headquarters), and Srinagar and Vishakhapatnam.

Yoga Day celebrations are being organised across nearly 2,500 locations worldwide, with participation from more than 210 Indian Missions and Posts, reaffirming Yoga’s status as a global movement for health, harmony and collective well-being.

Prime Minister will also commission three indigenously designed and built naval ships - INS Dunagiri, an advanced stealth frigate, INS Sanshodhak, a survey vessel (large) and INS Agray, an anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft.

These inductions will significantly bolster the nation’s operational capabilities, enhance maritime domain awareness, and strengthen the security of our coastal waters against geopolitical threats.

All three ships were designed by the Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau and constructed in Kolkata by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), with extensive participation by Indian industry, including more than 200 MSMEs. With an indigenous content of over 75 percent, these ships are also a testament to India’s commitment to Aatmanirbharta.
