In powerful speeches at public meetings in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Panvel & Mumbai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the crucial choice facing Maharashtra in the upcoming elections - between patriotism and divisive forces. PM Modi assured the people of Maharashtra that the BJP-Mahayuti government is dedicated to uplifting farmers, empowering youth, supporting women, and advancing marginalized communities.

PM Modi recalled how the demand to rename Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar was first raised by the iconic leader Balasaheb Thackeray. Despite the previous government’s hesitation, pressured by Congress, the Mahayuti government fulfilled this promise, reaffirming the state's rich legacy and respecting its pride. He pointed out that while Congress and its allies had gone to court to challenge the decision, the BJP-led government had made the renaming a reality.

In a broader vision of development and heritage, PM Modi discussed the strides being made in modern infrastructure across Maharashtra, particularly in Sambhajinagar. He highlighted ongoing projects, such as the Samruddhi Mahamarg, which connects Marathwada with Vidarbha and Mumbai, along with the rapid development of highways and railways. The Prime Minister also addressed water scarcity issues that have long plagued Marathwada, outlining how the Mahayuti government had successfully resumed and expanded initiatives such as the ‘Jalyukt Shivar’.

“This is the difference between Mahayuti and Aghadi, between BJP and Congress. Should Maharashtra have a government that solves water issues or one that halts projects? Don’t let Aghadi make you struggle for every drop again. Our government is focused on sustainable growth, providing assistance through schemes like the ‘Namo Shetkari Yojana’ and plans for expanding solar energy in agriculture,” he told the crowd at the rally in Sambhajinagar.

Criticizing Congress's divisive politics, PM Modi said, "The Congress has dangerous intentions. They are conspiring to scrap reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs. They had issued advertisements to remove reservations. We will thwart any such conspiracy. For a decade, they have struggled to accept an OBC Prime Minister, with their 'Shehzada' even pledging abroad to end reservations. Now, Congress is plotting to divide SC, ST, and OBC communities pitting caste against caste, to regain power. Their agenda is clear: divide and weaken. But remember, ‘Ek Hain Toh Safe Hain’."

On the national front, PM Modi warned against Congress’s proposals to reinstate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, and reiterated, “Kashmir is an integral part of India, and the Constitution framed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar should remain intact in the region. I urge the people of Maharashtra to reject such divisive agendas and support the government’s commitment to national unity and security.”

At his second rally in Panvel, PM Modi highlighted the region's rich marine resources and outlined government efforts to empower the coastal economy. He mentioned initiatives such as the introduction of modern boats and navigation systems, along with the PM Matsya Sampada Yojana, which provided thousands of crores in assistance to fishermen. The government also linked fish farmers to the Kisan Credit Card and launched schemes for the Mahadev Koli and Agari communities. He added that ₹450 crore was being invested to develop three new ports in Konkan, which would further boost fishermen's incomes and support the Blue Economy.

Talking about the women’s advancement, PM Modi asserted, “The Mahayuti government in Maharashtra gave women double benefits. An example was the Maharashtra Majhi Ladki Behen Yojana, which helped with expenses and advancing their work. However, Congress and the opposition opposed this. Their people even went to court to stop this scheme. Just think about how dangerous their intentions were... This is why it became the special responsibility of Maharashtra’s women to ensure that the opposition didn’t get another chance.”

After two successful rallies in Sambhajinagar and Panvel, PM Modi addressed the third public meeting of the day in Mumbai, emphasizing the choice Maharashtra faces in the upcoming elections: a government committed to progress or one mired in divisive politics.

He recalled the legacy of Maharashtra’s great leaders like Balasaheb Thackeray, who first raised the demand to rename Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Despite opposition from Congress, the Mahayuti government fulfilled this promise, highlighting the contrast between the BJP’s respect for Maharashtra's pride and Congress’s attempts to obstruct progress.
In Mumbai, PM Modi focused on the city’s role as the dream capital of the nation, sharing the government’s vision for the future. He highlighted initiatives like Startup India, which has seen a surge of startups in the city, and the PM Awas Yojana, which has provided homes to the poor. He also pointed out that Mumbai's street vendors have benefited from the PM SVANidhi Yojana, helping over 1 lakh vendors in the city grow their businesses.

PM Modi criticized the opposition for their divisive politics, accusing them of undermining Maharashtra’s progress by stalling projects like the Metro and the Aghadi’s opposition to technological innovations. He stressed that only the BJP and Mahayuti can deliver real progress, while Congress and its allies work to divide communities and hold the city back.

He straight away called out Congress for their failure to recognize the significance of Marathi culture and language, while the BJP has ensured it receives the respect it deserves. He reinforced that the Mahayuti government stands firmly on the side of national unity and development, while the opposition, through their attempts to undermine national security and identity, has repeatedly shown their disregard for the nation’s progress.

PM Modi remarked that the city deserves a government that builds, not divides—one that embraces innovation, economic growth, and safety, ensuring that Mumbai thrives in every possible way. The rally came to an end with a strong call to the people to remain vigilant and support the government that prioritizes the welfare of every citizen.

In conclusion, PM Modi reiterated his message that the choice in Maharashtra’s election is clear, support for the development-oriented BJP-led Mahayuti government or a return to the divisive politics of Congress and its allies. He said, “You will not only choose your representative in this election, but you will also decide Maharashtra's future. Maharashtra's future is safe in the hands of the Mahayuti government. Remember this—Mahayuti’s government is what you need."

PM Modi chairs 51st PRAGATI Meeting
May 27, 2026
PM reviews seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors
Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of around ₹30,000 crore
PM also reviews Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0
PM says Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues amicably
PM asks States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants
PM calls for mission-mode rooftop solar coverage in urban areas
Acting upon the advice of PM, system of monthly review of social sector schemes at State level operationalised, starting with review of Swachh Bharat Mission

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 51st meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform aimed at fostering Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, by seamlessly integrating efforts of the Central and State governments, at Seva Teerth, earlier today.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors covering nine States worth around ₹30,000 crore. These projects, pivotal to economic growth and public welfare, were reviewed with a focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, and timely issue resolution. Prime Minister also reviewed Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0.

While reviewing power sector projects, Prime Minister emphasized the need to accelerate rooftop solar adoption across urban areas, with a special focus on cities, residential clusters and public institutions. He underlined that rooftop solar should be taken up in mission mode to reduce electricity costs, improve energy security and promote clean energy at the household and community level.

While reviewing road and port connectivity projects, it was emphasised that Vadhavan Port should be developed as a model of port-led, multi-modal development, where every major mode of transport is seamlessly integrated to create a future-ready logistics ecosystem. The project should not be seen merely as a port, but as a national gateway connected through coastal shipping, inland waterways, dedicated freight corridors, high-speed rail connectivity, highways and airport linkages.

Prime Minister emphasised the need for effective implementation of Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 and underlined that the mission should move beyond infrastructure creation and ensure measurable outcomes through regular monitoring, citizen participation and convergence between various stakeholders. He asked States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants.

While reviewing Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project, Prime Minister observed that Ken-Betwa project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues through cooperation, timely clearances, technology-based monitoring and mission-mode execution. States were encouraged to identify similar opportunities where river-linking, water conservation, groundwater recharge and efficient irrigation can be taken up in an integrated manner to ensure long-term water security.

Prime Minister also underlined that the delay in the implementation of public projects leads not only to cost escalation but also deprives citizens of timely access to essential facilities and development benefits. He observed that every delay has a direct impact on people’s lives, regional growth and public resources. He stressed that Ministries, Departments and States must adopt a more proactive and time-bound approach to resolve pending issues, remove bottlenecks and ensure faster execution.

Prime Minister also emphasized that innovative use of canal networks should be explored, including installation of solar panels along canals and over canals for clean electricity generation. This would help optimize land use, reduce evaporation losses, generate renewable energy and create additional economic value from water infrastructure.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Cabinet Secretary informed that, in pursuance of the directions of the Prime Minister, a system of monthly review of social sector schemes at the State level has also been operationalised. This mechanism aims to ensure regular monitoring, faster resolution of implementation issues and greater accountability at the State and district levels. As part of this initiative, Swachh Bharat Mission has been taken up for review at the State level in the first instance.
