Ahead of the second phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a massive rally in Barrackpore, energising the crowd with a powerful and emotive speech. Drawing from history to the present, PM Modi invoked Barrackpore’s legacy as the cradle of India’s first war of independence in 1857, positioning it as a symbol of change once again. “Barrackpore paving way for change in Bengal”, he added.

"This very land of Barrackpore gave strength to India’s first war of independence in 1857. Today, it is paving the path for transformation in Bengal," the PM said. He noted the resounding sentiment among the people, adding, "Everywhere, one voice echoes - ‘Paltano Dorkar, Chai BJP Shorkar.’"

Highlighting the unprecedented enthusiasm during the campaign, PM Modi remarked, “Despite the heat and countless rallies, I have not felt even a trace of fatigue in Bengal. The energy of the people here keeps me going.” Calling his roadshows like a pilgrimage, he added, “Among the devotees of Maa Kali, I feel constantly blessed with renewed energy.”

Expressing gratitude, he said, “You have come from far and wide to bless me. I am deeply grateful. I leave with the belief that after May 4, I will return for the swearing-in ceremony of a BJP government.”

The Prime Minister spoke at length about his bond with the people. “For decades, I have travelled across the country as a party karyakarta. I do not see day or night, I find my happiness among the people. You are my family,” he said.

He shared moving anecdotes from the campaign trail, including a young woman who waited from early morning just to meet him. “I regret not being able to meet her, but I am confident I will someday. Her blessings are with me,” he added.

Positioning the election as pivotal not just for Bengal but for eastern India, PM Modi said, “When Ang (Bihar), Bang (Bengal) and Kalinga (Odisha) were strong, India prospered. Today, for India to achieve its development goals, these regions must rise together.” He expressed confidence in a political shift, stating, “Bihar and Odisha have already chosen development. Now it is Bengal’s turn, this time the lotus will bloom here too.”

Contrasting BJP’s vision with the ruling TMC, PM Modi criticised the lack of accountability. “Those who ruled for 15 years have no report card, no roadmap. Their formula is abuse and threats. They have targeted Modi, constitutional institutions and even the armed forces with their derogatory remarks. TMC leaders have also intimidated the people of Bengal,” he said.

He highlighted industrial decline in the Barrackpore belt, pointing to closed jute mills and rising lawlessness. “Where factories once thrived, now bombs and bullets echo. This must change,” he asserted, promising revival through Make in India initiatives.

Outlining key assurances in Barrackpore, PM Modi promised transparent government recruitment, expansion of the creative economy, rural employment guarantees and support for street vendors.

On women’s empowerment, he said, “Daughters’ education, income, healthcare, safety and dignity are our priority.” He also assured implementation of major welfare schemes, including Ayushman Bharat and financial support for women across life stages. Also, he announced that the Ayushman Bharat scheme will be implemented in West Bengal in the very first Cabinet meeting of a BJP government.

Invoking Bengal’s cultural and nationalist legacy, PM Modi said, “Vande Mataram once became the mantra of freedom. In the 21st century, it must become the mantra of Bengal’s development. He added, “The City of Joy must also become the City of the Future in the 21st century. This is the task before us.”

In his closing appeal, he urged voters to choose change: “You have given 70 years to others. Give BJP one chance. Together, we will free Bengal- from violence, corruption, syndicates, infiltration and unemployment.” The rally concluded with a strong call for voter participation, as PM Modi positioned the election as a decisive moment for Bengal’s future and India’s eastern growth story.

PM Modi reiterates commitment to the agricultural sector
June 11, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today emphasized that our farmer brothers and sisters are the pillars of the country's food security, nutrition, and prosperity, and the government is leaving no stone unturned to make their lives easier. He noted that initiatives like PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi and Fasal Bima Yojana are securing their income and empowering agriculture, while the PM-KUSUM scheme provides accessible solar energy, thereby reducing farming expenditures.

Shri Modi pointed out that the Kisan Credit Card is proving highly beneficial in providing easy, low-interest loans to farmers, cattle rearers, and fishermen, while the 'from seed to market' initiative is effectively ensuring fair prices for their crops.

The Prime Minister stated that the welfare of farmers is among the top priorities, which is why there has been a continuous emphasis on providing them with modern agricultural facilities. He highlighted that campaigns related to drones, soil health cards, and natural fertilizers are actively helping farmers increase their crop productivity.

In a series of posts, the Prime Minister shared on X:

"हमारे किसान भाई-बहन देश की अन्न सुरक्षा, पोषण और समृद्धि के आधारस्तंभ हैं। उनके जीवन को अधिक से अधिक आसान बनाने के लिए हमारी सरकार कोई कोर-कसर नहीं छोड़ रही है। पीएम-किसान सम्मान निधि और फसल बीमा योजना जैसी कई पहल उनकी आय की सुरक्षा के साथ-साथ खेती को अधिक सशक्त बना रही हैं। पीएम-कुसुम योजना से जहां खेती के लिए उन्हें सौर ऊर्जा सुलभ हुई है, वहीं इससे खेती पर होने वाला खर्च भी कम हुआ है।

"खेती सहित अन्य जरूरतों के लिए कम ब्याज पर आसानी से ऋण उपलब्ध कराने में किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड किसानों, पशुपालकों और मछुआरों के बहुत काम आ रहा है। उनकी फसलों को उचित मूल्य दिलाने के लिए ‘बीज से बाजार तक’ की हमारी पहल भी बहुत कारगर साबित हो रही है।

"किसानों का कल्याण हमारी सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकताओं में है। इसलिए उन्हें कृषि से जुड़ी आधुनिक सुविधाएं उपलब्ध कराने पर हमारा निरंतर जोर रहा है। ड्रोन, सॉयल हेल्थ कार्ड और प्राकृतिक खाद से जुड़े अभियानों से भी किसानों को फसल की उत्पादकता बढ़ाने में मदद मिल रही है।
