On the evening of 29th April, Shri Narendra Modi addressed the seventh round of the 3D Bharat Vijay rally and spoke to people from various locations across the country. Shri Modi spoke of the Congress’ fear of losing and their desperation to reinstate their misgovernance and ruin the Nation, even as he affirmed of the people’s preference to vote for the good governance model of the BJP and wipe out the destructive paradigm set by the Congress.

Speaking a day before the next phase of voting on 30th April, Shri Modi stated how the Congress and its allies feared their loss and were getting restless on where they would end up after the results were declared. He came down heavily upon the propaganda and vindictive attacks of vested interest groups in defaming Shri Modi, and spoke of how ceaseless efforts were made to slander Shri Modi’s positive work on the fronts of development and good governance. He stated how such tactics of the Congress were reflective of their anxiety revolving around their loss.

From their non-fulfillment of promises to the many strictures passed by the Supreme Court against the Central government, Shri Modi spoke of how the Congress government had neglected the Nation and its people. He cited the Central government’s failure in tackling the problems of price rise and corruption, and stated that knowing about the government’s actions for these issues was the right of every citizen. The fact that India could not shine in the 21st century, despite being rich in natural resources and skilled manpower, was a clear sign of the collapse of the government’s policies. “This government cannot do anything. It can neither inspire nor show light to the people of India. Their agenda is to save their chair while our agenda is to save the nation. They want the chair but we want smiles on your faces,” said Shri Modi.

3D Rally

Shri Modi spoke of the sacrifice of 2 jawans in Kashmir, who lost their lives a couple of days ago while fighting with terrorists, and bowed to their patriotism. He also mentioned of how he had, in his tweet, appreciated the touching letter written by the pilot to the parents of Mukund Vardarajan – one of the jawans. “Every martyr lives on for generations in the hearts and mind of the people of India. Martyrs never die. Shahadat Sada Amar Hoti Hai,” said Shri Modi. He condemned the Congress’ approach of politicizing every aspect, including patriotism and sacrifice, and affirmed that he would never stoop so low. “Today I went to HP & remembered Vikram Batra. When I returned to Ahmedabad I got to know politics had overshadowed this also. Vikram Batra is a son of India. Is it a crime to remember a martyr? Their parents have sacrificed a lot & I bow to them. What sort of a political fever is this that does not allow you to remember the martyrs of India. I would rather leave politics than insult our martyrs and their parents,” said Shri Modi.

Urging the people to vote for the BJP and take the lead in forming a strong and stable government - one that focuses on inclusive growth and good governance – Shri Modi said, “A strong government is where the will of the people matters, where the voice of the people is heard and where the dreams of the people are fulfilled.” He appealed to the people to vote out the destructive politics of the Congress, and said, “Modi winning or winning is not important. I can go home tomorrow & open a tea stall but the nation must not suffer. The doors of Parliament must not open for those who bring bad name to democracy and make it a market place.”

“Sugamya Bharat Abhiyaan a Game Changer; Karnataka Congress Rolling Back Dignity and Rights,” Says BJP Minister on Disability Budget Slash
December 03, 2024

On the occasion of the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan’s anniversary, Dr. Virendra Kumar; Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment of India, spotlighted the central government’s unfaltering dedication to building an inclusive and accessible society for all. Reflecting on the progress achieved under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary leadership, Dr. Kumar emphasized the transformative impact of the initiative, marking another significant milestone in India's journey toward true inclusivity.

Dr. Virendra Kumar emphasized the remarkable strides achieved in creating a barrier-free and inclusive India. He spotlighted the flagship initiative promoting universal accessibility in public spaces, transportation, and digital platforms. “The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan has been a game-changer in promoting universal accessibility in public spaces, transportation, and digital platforms. This initiative reflects the PM Modi government’s belief that true progress can only be achieved when every citizen, regardless of physical ability, is empowered to reach their full potential,” he remarked.

Dr. Kumar highlighted the transformative initiatives under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, emphasizing their profound impact on empowering differently-abled individuals. He noted how PM Modi redefined societal attitudes by encouraging the use of the term Divyang(divine-abled) instead of Viklang(disabled), promoting a more socially inclusive, respectful and dignified life for them. He also underscored the landmark Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016, which expanded the definition of disability from 7 to 21 categories, ensuring equal opportunities in education, employment, and social participation. Dr. Kumar commended the government's initiatives to support differently-abled individuals in various fields. He highlighted the remarkable accomplishments of India's para-athletes, who earned 19 medals at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and an impressive 29 medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. These successes, he said, reflect the inclusive policies and solid support provided by the Modi government.

Turning his attention to recent developments in Karnataka, Dr. Kumar expressed grave concern over the government’s alarming decision to slash funding for differently-abled individuals by an unprecedented 80%. He emphasized that on one hand, while the central government is making all possible efforts to empower the Divyang community, Congress on the other, is once again showing its true colors by disregarding their needs and undermining their dignity.

“Congress has hit a new low, stooping to strip Divyangjans of their dignity and rights, all in the name of cheap vote-bank politics. They prioritize freebies over fundamental human respect,” he said.

Dr. Virendra Kumar stated, “The decision to reduce the budget for differently-abled individuals from ₹53 crore to a paltry ₹10 crore in the year 2024-25 is nothing short of a betrayal which is detrimental to the progress and empowerment of this vital section of society. At a time when the central government is accelerating efforts to build a barrier-free and inclusive India, such a move undermines these collective achievements.”

He added, “Karnataka is home to over 1.3 million differently-abled individuals. Reducing their allocated resources will severely impact their access to education, employment, and essential support services, putting their futures at stake.”

Dr. Kumar highlighted that the budget cut reflects a blatant disregard for marginalized communities, calling it a striking example of indifference. He emphasized Congress's long-standing pattern of prioritizing political interests over public welfare, describing this decision as a new low. The reduction, he stated, directly jeopardizes the lives of thousands of differently-abled individuals who depend on this funding for access to education, employment opportunities, and vital support services.

Dr. Kumar concluded by stating, “As we celebrate the 9th anniversary of the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan, I urge all state governments to align with the central government’s vision of accessibility and inclusivity. I specifically call on the Karnataka government to reconsider its decision and restore funding to support differently-abled individuals. Only then can we build a truly accessible and inclusive India.”
