“દસ વર્ષ સુધી કેન્દ્ર ‘રિમોટ-કન્ટ્રોલ’ સરકારથી ચાલતું હતું જેણે ક્યારેય છત્તીસગઢ તરફ ધ્યાન આપ્યું ન હતું: વડાપ્રધાન મોદી
હું કોંગ્રેસને પડકાર ફેંકુ છું કે તે કોઈ લાયક વ્યક્તિને કોંગ્રેસ પ્રમુખ તરીકે પસંદ કરે જેનો સંબંધ પેલા એક પરિવાર સાથે ન હોય: વડાપ્રધાન મોદી
કોંગ્રેસ કાયમ એક પરિવારને પહેલું મહત્ત્વ આપે છે અને બાદમાં રાષ્ટ્રના કલ્યાણને: વડાપ્રધાન મોદી
કોંગ્રેસ ખોટા વચનો આપે છે. તેણે એ જવાબ આપવો જ જોઈએ કે ચાર પેઢીઓ સુધી શાસન કરતા સમયે તેમણે આપણા ખેડૂતોના કલ્યાણ માટે શું કર્યું? તેમણે ખેડૂતોને દુઃખમાં જ રાખ્યા: વડાપ્રધાન
કોંગ્રેસ 'ટેલીફોન-બેન્કિંગ' માં માને છે જેણે બેન્કોને ખતમ કરી દીધી. તેમના ચાહીતાઓ માટે તેમના દ્વારા થતા એક ફોન કોલથી લોન મળી જતી અને દેશે સહન કરવાનું આવતું હતું: વડાપ્રધાન મોદી

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh . The public meeting saw a large presence of supporters waiting to hear from the PM.

Prime Minister Modi began his address by hitting out at the Congress saying, “For ten years, the Centre was ruled by a ‘remote-control’ government which never paid attention to Chhattisgarh.”

Terming the upcoming Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh extremely crucial for the future of the state and its people, PM Modi said, “Chhattisgah is 18 years old now. This time is extremely crucial for this state. Just like parents care for the future of their children when they turn 18, I urge all the people of Chhattisgarh to think about the future of Chhattisgarh and give BJP a chance to serve the state in the coming years.”

Talking about how the country had given four generations of a single family to rule the country, Prime Minister Modi said, “Everyone knows what this family did to this country and its people. They always put their family first and the nation’s welfare secondary.”

Repeating his earlier challenge to the Congress again, PM Modi said, “I challenge the Congress to elect someone outside from the Gandhi family as the party’s President for 5 years. Let us all see the Congress’ internal democracy.”

The PM alleged the Congress of making false promises to farmers. Listing out various farmer-friendly measures like Soil Health Cards, Fasal Bima Yojana and 100 per cent neem coating of urea initiated by the NDA Government, PM Modi said, “Congress kept the farmers in distress. If they would have strengthened the farmers, fulfilled their requirements, our farmers would have been prosperous.”

Speaking briefly about the Mudra Yojana, PM Modi shed light on how it has given wings to the aspirations of several youth. The PM said, “We have sanctioned loans for people who have small business without any guarantee. This has empowered them and is significantly strengthening the economy.”

PM Modi also attacked the Congress for the NPA mess and said, “The Congress believed in 'telephone-banking' which ruined the banks. A phone call from them would get loans for the cronies cleared and the nation had to suffer.”

The meeting concluded with Prime Minister Modi listing out several key initiatives of the state and Central government for the welfare and empowerment of the poor, the marginalized people of the country before urging everyone to come out in large numbers and vote in the upcoming elections.

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.
