Choose swadeshi, support Made in India products and strengthen the nation’s self-reliance: PM Modi’s appeal in Telangana
Natural farming, reduced fertiliser dependence and solar pumps are crucial for India’s sustainable future: PM Modi

PM Modi addressed a massive public rally in Hyderabad, Telangana, where he spoke on India’s rising global stature, the significance of BJP’s recent electoral victories and the country’s collective responsibility during ongoing global economic and geopolitical challenges.

Referring to BJP’s historic mandate in West Bengal, the PM said the result had become a subject of discussion not only across India but around the world because it marked the defeat of a politics rooted in fear, corruption, dynastic control and authoritarianism. He said the people of Bengal had broken free from years of political suppression and chosen a future based on trust and development.

Highlighting BJP’s expanding presence across the country, PM Modi said the party’s rise from Assam and Odisha to Bengal and Puducherry reflects a major shift in India’s political mindset and landscape, where people are increasingly choosing “vishwasvaad” over dynastic politics. He expressed confidence that Telangana too is moving towards decisive political change and said the people are growing tired of broken promises and family-driven politics of Congress and BRS.

The PM highly criticised the Congress, accusing it of divisive and extremist politics, and alleged that ideological support from Congress and Left parties allowed Maoist violence to survive for decades. Emphasising BJP’s vision for “Viksit Telangana”, he said a BJP government in the state would work with a new vision, stronger commitment and development-focused governance.

PM Modi then turned to the ongoing global crises and their impact on India’s economy and supply chains. He said the Covid pandemic, the Ukraine war and recent regional conflicts have severely disrupted the global flow of food, fuel and fertilisers, creating pressure on economies worldwide. He reflected on how India protected farmers during the fertiliser crisis by providing subsidised fertilisers at affordable rates while global prices had skyrocketed.

He established India, despite not being a major oil-producing nation, has worked continuously to shield citizens from the burden of rising international fuel and gas prices by absorbing much of the pressure at the government level. However, he stressed that the scale of the current global crisis requires collective national responsibility and public participation.

Calling for “kartavya” and responsible citizenship, he urged people to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption by using metros, carpooling, rail transport and electric vehicles wherever possible. He also appealed for a revival of work-from-home, online meetings and virtual conferences to reduce fuel dependence and save foreign exchange reserves.

The PM further encouraged citizens to prioritise domestic tourism and avoid unnecessary foreign travel for weddings, vacations and celebrations for at least a year in order to conserve foreign exchange. He also urged people to reduce gold purchases temporarily in the national interest.

Touching upon the importance of economic self-reliance, PM Modi said India must avoid becoming dependent on imports in sectors where domestic capacity can be strengthened. Referring to copper imports, he said disruptions caused by protests and shutdowns had weakened domestic production and increased reliance on foreign supply chains. He urged people to stay vigilant against forces that obstruct India’s path towards self-reliance.

He also focused on sustainable living and agriculture, calling upon families to reduce edible oil consumption and adopt healthier lifestyles while helping save foreign exchange. He strongly advocated reducing chemical fertiliser usage and promoting natural farming to protect soil health and reduce import dependency. He also urged farmers to shift from diesel pumps to solar-powered pumps under government schemes.

Reiterating the importance of “Vocal for Local”, PM Modi appealed to citizens to consciously choose ‘Made in India’ products in daily life. From household essentials to consumer goods, he said, every small shift towards swadeshi products strengthens India’s economy and supports local manufacturers.

Concluding his address, the PM repeated that the challenges facing India are not political issues belonging to one government or one party, but national responsibilities that require collective effort from citizens, organisations and institutions alike. He expressed confidence that with unity, discipline and commitment, India will successfully overcome every global challenge and continue moving towards the goal of a developed nation.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 52nd 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, earlier today at Seva Teerth.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed four critical infrastructure projects across the Road, Power, Industrial Corridor and Metro Rail sectors, covering four States and costing around ₹30,000 crore. These projects, important for economic growth, regional connectivity, industrial development and public welfare, were reviewed with focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, issue resolution and timely completion.

Prime Minister underlined that delays in infrastructure projects not only lead to cost escalation, but also deprive people and industries of timely benefits. He asked the concerned Ministries and State Governments to resolve pending issues in a mission-mode manner and ensure close monitoring at the highest level.

Prime Minister emphasised the use of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan for efficient planning and timely implementation of infrastructure projects. He also underlined the need for regular and timely updation of project details, utilities, infrastructure layers, clearances and other field-level information on the portal. He further emphasised that the platform must reflect the latest ground situation so that bottlenecks can be identified in advance, inter-agency coordination can be improved and decisions can be taken on the basis of reliable, real-time data.

Prime Minister reviewed TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan and emphasised the need to leverage latest digital technologies including Artificial Intelligence. He suggested a team of NCC cadets and MY Bharat volunteers, for awareness, patient follow-up and community mobilisation.

Prime Minister also reviewed grievances related to Cyber Crime and Digital Arrest. He expressed concern over the rising misuse of digital platforms to defraud citizens and stressed that such matters require coordinated, sensitive and time-bound handling by all concerned agencies. He noted that citizens should not be made to run from one department or agency to another. He also emphasized the need for clear ownership, faster response, better coordination among law enforcement agencies, banks and digital platforms, and stronger public awareness campaigns.

Prime Minister observed that in cases involving cyber fraud, timely action is crucial to prevent financial loss and restore public confidence. He asked all stakeholders to work in close coordination to strengthen prevention, reporting, investigation and grievance redressal mechanisms. He also emphasised that States should work towards enabling e-Zero FIR mechanisms for faster registration and response in cyber fraud cases.
