Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed massive public meetings at Chitradurga, Raichur, Bagalkot, Hubli . He launched attack on the Congress for their divisive politics and sidelining welfare of farmers in Karnataka. He accused the Congress of spreading lies. He urged people of Karnataka to bid farewell to the Congress for not thinking about their welfare.

Recalling Chitradurga as the land of brave and courageous, PM Modi said, “Here in Chitradurga, we know about the bravery of great women who resisted the reign of the Sultans. We remember the valour of Onake Obavva.” Taking a swipe at the Congress party, the Prime Minister remarked that the Congress forgot these brave women and men of history just because of vote bank politics. “Look at the Congress… Leaders, whom they should remember and celebrate, they do not. But, they are at the forefront of celebrating Jayantis of Sultans”, he said.

The Prime Minister said that it was in the nature of Congress to insult very senior leaders. “How can we forget the proud son of this land, Nijalingappa Ji? Why did one family insult him? Because one family cannot tolerate independent leaders emerging in the Party. Nijalingappa Ji committed one big 'crime' - he questioned some of the policies from the time of Pandit Nehru”, he added.

Hitting out at the Congress party for humiliating Baba Saheb Ambedkar, PM Modi said that they never respected him. He questioned, “Go to any part of India, things are named after one family. What did this one family do for Dr. Ambedkar?”

Adding further he said that when the BJP had the numbers to play a key role in the election of a President, it did not play party politics and preferred Dr. Kalam as the President of India. This time too, he added that the BJP had the numbers and preferred a person from the Dalit community as the President.

He alleged that Congress was uncomfortable today as the country’s highest offices were held by people from poor and humble backgrounds, which is why they were misleading people from backward communities. “It is our Government that has strengthened the SC/ST Act. We will always work for justice for the SC and ST communities”, he added.

Accusing Congress for looting and corruption, PM Modi exclaimed, “When I heard about Congress corruption in providing beds for hostels, I was intrigued. I asked why Congress leaders were so concerned about beds. Then someone told me Congress leaders need these beds because they hide so much money beneath these beds, as one Minister has done!”

Shri Modi stated that Congress did not care about ‘dil’ (people's hearts and feelings), but only ‘deals.’ Assailing Karnataka Chief Minister, he said that among the many things the Karnataka CM kept with him was character certificates. “Whenever a Minister faces charges, the CM is ready with a character certificate. He loves defending wrong people”, he said.

He also spoke at length about welfare of divyangs and tribal communities.
Speaking at a public meeting in Raichur, PM Modi took a jibe at the Congress and said, “Raichur is a land of learning, culture and civility. Congress has picked up none of these virtues. If they had learnt from the land of Raichur, they would not be dividing Karnataka.”

Terming that the Karnataka polls were about the future of the state, the Prime Minister remarked, “On one side, there is the BJP's development agenda and on the other side is the anti-development Congress.” He said that The Karnataka Government must give an account of the work they have done for the people of the state instead of abusing him all the time.

Stating that in every part of India the Congress was being rejected, he questioned the opposition why they were not letting the Parliament function. He also accused the Congress for having anti-Dalit and anti-OBC mindset and not allowing the OBC commission get Constitutional status.
The Congress Party, PM Modi claimed, had an eco-system of looting which the NDA Government had come down heavily on. “The JAM Trinity has stopped leakages”, he said.

The Prime Minister listed several initiatives being undertaken by the Centre for harnessing solar energy and water conservation.

Prime Minister Modi accused the Congress party for shamelessly questions the valour of our armed forces when they conducted the surgical strikes. “We are proud of all those who sacrificed their lives for our country but sadly, a few people feel uncomfortable when they hear the National Song.,” he said.

The Prime Minister unleashed an all out attack on Congress party and said, “In a democracy, to win or to lose is a part of elections. One must accept their defeat. But the Congress are 'Naamdaars'. They did not congratulate us, the 'Kaamdaars'. Such is their arrogance that they even did not pay a courtesy call to the President upon his win.”

Accusing the Congress for neglecting Bhagwaan Basaveshwara, Shri Modi said that people of Karnataka are well aware of Congress' thinking towards Bhagwaan Basaveshwara. They are only recalling his name as elections are nearing.

It was during Atal Ji's leadership, that a statue of Bhagwaan Basaveshwara was put up in the Parliament, he furthermore added.

On the issue of development, Prime Minister remarked, “To ensure farmer welfare, we have brought the most comprehensive Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana”.

Shri Modi urged people of Bagalkot to ask a question to the present Karnataka CM, he said ask the CM about his promise of Textile Parks. Ask him what happened to that promise. Is there a single Textile Park here? He did not fulfill his promises.

We are committed to give impetus to the textile sector in Karnataka. We have also come up with a SAATHI scheme for the weaver community, mentioned the PM.

Prime Minister Modi assailed the Congress government in Karnataka for neither caring about the present nor the future of Karnataka, what it cares most is about remaining in power.

Shri Modi stressed that he wants to build a New India where children get good education, youth get jobs, elderly get proper healthcare and where there is no discrimination on the lines of caste.

The Prime Minister came down heavily on Congress leaders who were caught with large stashes of cash. He said that our Government takes action against corrupts, and they keep on saying that Modi is vindictive.

On the development front, he said, “there were around 18,000 villages which did not have electricity since independence. We ensured power to all such villages in a time frame of just 1000 days. Now through the Saubhagya Yojana, we want to ensure power supply in every household.”

“Youth in villages should benefit from long-distance education, farmers should get information digitally. That is why we are giving impetus to the Digital India drive and connecting India’s villages through optical fiber network,” asserted the PM.

Also, Shri Modi shed light on several Central Government schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Kendras, Ayushman Bharat Yojana and Mission Indradhanush.

While slamming the current CM of Karnataka, PM Modi said, “On one hand we are promising development while on the other hand the present Karnataka CM believes in superstition. Everyone knows what happened when a crow sat on his car.”

March 28, 2026
The inauguration of Phase-I of Noida International Airport marks a major step in Uttar Pradesh’s growth story and India’s aviation future: PM
UP has now emerged as one of the states with the highest number of international airports in India: PM
Airports are not just basic facilities in any country, they give wings to progress: PM
Our government is making unprecedented investments in modern infrastructure to build a Viksit Bharat: PM

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today inaugurated the Noida International Airport at Jewar in Uttar Pradesh. Expressing his pride and joy on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that today marks a new chapter in the Viksit UP, Viksit Bharat Abhiyan. He noted that India's largest state has now become one of the states with the highest number of international airports. PM Modi shared that he felt doubly proud , first, for having laid the foundation stone of this airport and now inaugurating it, and second, because the name of this grand airport is linked to Uttar Pradesh. "This is the state that chose me as its representative and made me a Member of Parliament, and its identity is now associated with this magnificent airport," remarked Shri Modi.

Highlighting the far-reaching impact of the new airport, the Prime Minister said that the Noida airport will benefit a vast region encompassing Agra, Mathura, Aligarh, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Etawah, Bulandshahr, and Faridabad. He emphasised that the airport will bring numerous new opportunities for the farmers, small and medium enterprises, and the youth of western Uttar Pradesh. "Aircraft will fly from here to the world, and this airport will also become a symbol of a developed Uttar Pradesh taking flight," said Shri Modi, extending his heartfelt congratulations to the people of the state, especially western UP.

Speaking about the current global situation, the Prime Minister observed that the entire world is deeply concerned today, with a war raging in West Asia for over a month, creating crises of essential commodities including food, petrol, diesel, gas, and fertilizers in many countries. He noted that India imports a very large quantity of crude oil and gas from the conflict-affected region. "The Government is taking every possible step to ensure that the burden of this crisis does not fall on ordinary families and farmers," affirmed Shri Modi.

Underscoring India's continued momentum of rapid development even during times of global crisis, the Prime Minister noted that in Western Uttar Pradesh alone, this is the fourth major project to be either inaugurated or have its foundation stone laid in recent weeks. "During this period, the foundation stone of a major semiconductor factory in Noida was laid, the country's first Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat train gained speed, the Meerut Metro was expanded, and today the Noida International Airport is being inaugurated," highlighted PM Modi.

The Prime Minister credited the current Government for these remarkable achievements in UP's development. He noted that the semiconductor factory is making India self-reliant in technology, the Meerut Metro and Namo Bharat Rail are providing fast and smart connectivity, and the Jewar Airport is connecting entire North India to the world. " Today under the current government, the same Noida is becoming a powerful engine of UP's development," asserted Shri Modi.

Elaborating on the history of the airport project, The Prime Minister recalled that the Jewar Airport was approved by Atal ji as early as 2003. And as soon as the current government was formed here, the foundation was laid, construction happened, and now it has started operations," said Shri Modi.

Drawing attention to the region's emerging role as a logistics hub, the Prime Minister pointed out that this area is becoming the hub of two major freight corridors , special railway tracks laid for goods trains, which have enhanced North India's connectivity with the seas of Bengal and Gujarat. He noted that Dadri is the strategic point where both these corridors converge, meaning whatever farmers grow and industries produce here can now reach every corner of the world swiftly, by land and by air. "This kind of multi-modal connectivity is making UP a major attraction for investors worldwide," explained PM Modi.

Addressing the transformation of the region's image, the Prime Minister said. "Today, Noida is ready to welcome the entire world. This whole area is strengthening the resolve of Aatmanirbhar Bharat”.

The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the farmers who gave up their lands to make this project a reality, noting that agriculture and farming hold great importance in the region's economy. Shri Modi noted that the expansion of modern connectivity will further boost food processing prospects in Western UP, adding, "The agricultural produce from here will now reach global markets more efficiently."

Acknowledging the contribution of sugarcane farmers to reducing India's dependence on crude oil, the Prime Minister highlighted the significant role of ethanol produced from sugarcane. PM Modi highlighted that without the increase in ethanol production and its blending with petrol, India would have had to import an additional four and a half crore barrels,approximately 700 crore litres of crude oil annually, adding, "The hard work of our farmers has given the country this enormous relief during the time of crisis."

The Prime Minister further elaborated that ethanol has not only benefited the nation but has also greatly benefited farmers, with approximately Rs 1.5 lakh crore worth of foreign exchange being saved. He recalled the earlier days when sugarcane farmers had to wait for years for their dues. "Today, thanks to the efforts of the current Government, the condition of sugarcane farmers has improved significantly," affirmed Shri Modi.

Emphasizing that airports are not merely amenities but catalysts for progress, the Prime Minister pointed out the remarkable expansion of India's aviation infrastructure. Highlighting that today, there are more than 160 airports, PM Modi remarked that the Air connectivity is now reaching not just metropolitan cities but also smaller towns. “ The current government has made air travel accessible for the common Indian," asserted Shri Modi, adding that the number of airports in Uttar Pradesh has been increased to seventeen.

Highlighting the impact of the UDAN scheme, the Prime Minister said that the government has consistently strived to ensure that while airports are built, airfares remain within the reach of ordinary families. Noting that more than one crore sixty lakh citizens have travelled by air at affordable rates by booking tickets under the UDAN scheme, Shri Modi remarked, “ Recently, the Central Government has further expanded the UDAN scheme with an approval of approximately Rs 29,000 crore, under which 100 new airports and 200 new helipads will be built in smaller cities in the coming years. UP will also benefit immensely from this."

Speaking about India's rapidly growing aviation sector, the Prime Minister noted that as new airports are being built, the demand for new aircraft is also rising, with various airlines placing orders for hundreds of new planes. Shri Modi observed that this creates tremendous opportunities for the youth, including pilots, cabin crew, and maintenance professionals, adding that "our government is also expanding training facilities in the aviation sector" to meet this growing demand.

Addressing a critical gap in India's aviation ecosystem, the Prime Minister drew attention to the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sector, noting that 85 per cent of Indian aircraft still have to go abroad for MRO services. PM Modi noted that the government has resolved to make India self-reliant in the MRO sector as well and highlighted that today, the foundation stone of an MRO facility has been laid here at Jewar. “When ready, it will serve aircraft from India and abroad , generating revenue for the country, keeping our money within India, and creating numerous jobs for the youth," announced Shri Modi.

Underlining the government's priority of ensuring citizen convenience and saving their time and money, the Prime Minister spoke about the expansion of modern rail services such as Metro and Vande Bharat. "The Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat Rail has already been used by over two and a half crore passengers. The journey between Delhi and Meerut that used to take hours is now completed in minutes," said PM Modi.

Underscoring the unprecedented investment in modern infrastructure for a Viksit Bharat, the Prime Minister shared that over the past eleven years, the infrastructure budget has been increased more than six-fold, with Rs 17 lakh crore spent on highways and expressways and over one lakh kilometres of highways constructed. He noted that railway electrification has expanded from 20,000 kilometres before 2014 to over 40,000 kilometres since then, with nearly 100 per cent of the broad-gauge network now electrified. The Prime Minister highlighted that for the first time, the Kashmir Valley and the capitals of the North-East are being connected to the rail network, while port capacity has more than doubled in the past decade and the number of inland waterways continues to grow. "India is working at a rapid pace in every sector necessary for building a Viksit Bharat," stated Shri Modi.

Calling for collective effort and national unity in the face of global challenges, the Prime Minister said he had spoken at length in Parliament and held detailed discussions with Chief Ministers about tackling the crisis arising from the ongoing conflict. He appealed to the people to face this crisis with a calm mind and patience, calling it the greatest strength of Indians. PM Modi reiterated that what is in the interest of Indians and in the interest of India, that alone is the policy and strategy of the Government of India." I am fully confident that all political parties will lend strength to the country's united efforts”, concluded Shri Modi.
