NDA will form government in Punjab; 'Nawa Punjab' will be free from debts: PM Modi in Jalandhar
Nawa Punjab, Bhajpa De Naal, New Punjab will have no place for corruption, law and order will prevail: PM Modi
PM Modi says if Captain Amarinder Singh worked with central government according to principles of federalism then what is wrong in that

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Jalandhar, Punjab. He said, “Punjab has supported me, given me a lot. I will always be indebted to this place; hence I will always work to uplift the state. It's certain that an NDA will form a government in Punjab. Nawa Punjab, Bhajpa De Naal.”


“New India will be made when Nawa Punjab will be formed in this decade. Nawa Punjab - which will preserve its heritage as well as where there will be development. Nawa Punjab - which will be free from debt, will be full of opportunities. Nawa Punjab - where every Dalit brother and sister will be respected, there will be proper participation at every level. Nawa Punjab - where there will be no place for corruption and mafia, there will be rule of law,” he added.


Slamming the ruling party’s administration, PM Modi said, “I wanted to offer prayers at Maa Tripurmalini Devi Shaktipeeth after this event but the administration and police said they will not be able to make the arrangements. This is the situation of government here. But I will surely offer prayers at Shaktipeeth soon.”


Addressing the huge rally in Jalandhar, PM Modi said, “After independence, Punjab has had few options in all these decades. When we were with Akali Dal, we always accepted our small role by treating them as our elder brother. There is only one thing in our hearts. Whatever is good for Punjab, we will do it. But for the first time, BJP has come up in Punjab as the biggest and most reliable option. Once Punjab gives a chance to BJP, then BJP will lead the transformation of Punjab. And I am glad that we now have Captain Amarinder Singh ji, Dhindsa ji with us. Together we will take Punjab forward.”

Highlighting the tyranny of the Congress government, PM Modi stated, “Jalandhar is such a big industrial centre of Punjab. About 70 percent of the sports goods in the country are made in Jalandhar. There are endless possibilities for the industries and for MSMEs here. But, the policies of the Congress have destroyed the industries and the employment. Only the Double Engine Sarkar of BJP can change this situation. Right now, the way businesses in Punjab have been given to the mafia, this game will not be allowed to run under the BJP government. Under the BJP government, the businessman here will carry out his business without any tyranny, without any fear. I assure you of this.”


Talking about farmers’ welfare, PM Modi remarked, “Double Engine Sarkar is paying attention to the needs of small farmers especially. Today, the money of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is going to the accounts of more than 23 lakh farmers of Punjab. The BJP government has also doubled the purchase of crops from farmers at MSP. We also ensured that the money earned from the purchase goes directly to the bank accounts of the farmers. Due to Corona, the prices of fertilizers increased in the global market, but we tried to minimize the burden on the farmers.”


“The Double Engine Sarkar will work for increasing the income of the farmers, reducing the expenditure on farming. The country has also started a big campaign in the direction of organic farming and natural farming,” he added.


“Today on one side there is Bharatiya Janata Party and NDA, whose ideology is related to Punjab and Punjabiyat. We are celebrating 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and 400th Prakash Parv of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at the national level all over the country. Also, in the memory of Veer Sahibzadas, government has decided to mark December 26 as Veer Baal Diwas.”


The Prime Minister said that the Government was giving special priority to the Punjab and it was making efforts to further prosperity in the region. He further said, “BJP will work for the welfare of Punjab and Punjabis. Congress' policies have left so many people unemployed. Our government's motto will always be Vocal for Local, which was never the focus of the previous governments.”


Reminiscing the 1984 Sikh Massacre, the Prime Minister asserted, “Entire Punjab has witnessed that we formed SIT to investigate the 1984 Sikh riots, helped its victims. But Congress has always done the work of sprinkling salt on their wounds by giving big positions to the accused of riots.”

Taking dig at opposition parties, PM Modi said some other people have come to play game of lies in Punjab. In Punjab they talk of ‘Nasha Mukti’ but in Delhi they have opened liquor shops in every street.
He also lashed out at the Congress party for raising questions on our Army.


Concluding his speech at Jalandhar, he said, “I want to give assurance to the people of Punjab, we will leave no stone unturned for the development of the state. We will work hard for the youth of Punjab and to make Punjab a nasha-mukt state.”

June 10, 2026

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved Phase 2(A) of Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project with corridor for a length of 6.032 Km with 05 stations (04 Elevated and 01 underground). On operationalisation of Phase 2(A), Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar will have 77.63 Km of active Metro Rail Network. The names of stations in the Phase 2(A) Corridor are- Ashram Road, Koteshwar Prachin Mandir, Sabarmati River, Sardar Nagar and Airport.

The total completion cost including IDC (Interest during Construction) for the project will be Rs.2,169.04 crore.

Benefits and Bolstering Growth:

The Phase 2(A) of Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project represents a significant advancement in the city’s infrastructure development. Phase 2(A) acts as a major expansion of the Metro Rail Network in the city.

Enhanced Connectivity:

Phase 2(A) of the Ahmedabad Metro Project envisages the development of approximately 6.032 km of new metro corridor, aimed at substantially enhancing public transportation by providing seamless connectivity to the airport and linking key residential and commercial areas that presently lack efficient transit access.

This phase aims to seamlessly integrate key zones, including residential & Commercial hubs with existing Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar corridor. Further, likelihood of sports facilities also being developed in the vicinity for the World Police Games 2029 and Commonwealth Games 2030.

By bridging these vital areas with the metro network, Phase 2(A) will not only enhance connectivity but also stimulate economic activity, tourism, and ease urban mobility for both residents and visitors.

Reduction in Traffic Congestion: Metro Rail as an efficient alternate road transport and with Phase 2(A) as an extension of the Metro Rail network to the Airport, will be particularly impactful inside Ahmedabad. Reduction in road traffic can lead to smoother movement of vehicles, reduction in travel time, increasing overall road safety etc.

Environmental Benefits: With the addition of Phase 2(A) of Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project and increase in overall Metro Rail Network in Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar cities, can significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional fossil fuel-based transport.

Economic Growth: Reduced travel times and improved access to different parts of the city such as Airport, Railway Stations and Bus Depots can enhance productivity by allowing individuals to reach their workplaces and destinations more efficiently. Also, the enhanced connectivity can stimulate local businesses, especially in areas near new metro stations which can also attract investment and development in previously less accessible regions.

Social Impact: The expansion of Phase 2(A) Metro Rail network in Ahmedabad will provide more equitable access to public transport, benefiting diverse socio-economic groups and reducing transport disparities which will contribute to a higher quality of life by reducing commute times and improving access to essential services.
The Phase 2(A) of Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project is set to be a transformative development for the city. It promises to deliver enhanced connectivity, reduced traffic congestion, environmental benefits, economic growth, and improved quality of life. By addressing key urban challenges and providing a foundation for future expansion, Phase 2(A) will play a crucial role in shaping the city's development trajectory and sustainability.

The Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2A will generate employment of around 2,000 persons during the peak period of construction activity and 500 persons are likely to work during Operation & Maintenance of the system.
