Last five years under the BJP have been the years of development for Goa: PM Modi
Prime Minister assures Centre’s complete assistance in Goa’s progress and development
Goa deserves everything that is iconic. Infrastructure here should attract more tourists: PM
Today, India has a Government that has the courage to take bold decisions: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Panaji, Goa. The Prime Minister said that last five years had been the years of development for the state. He added that despite its small territory, Goa stood out for its development in various sectors.

Shri Narendra Modi spoke about the political instability that Goa faced in the 1990s and the early 2000s. “Political instability in Goa hampered its progress. Instability was something the Congress really liked. It suited them. Five years ago the people of Goa elected a stable Government under BJP.” He urged people of the state to once again repose faith in the BJP and elect a Government with a comfortable majority.

Prime Minister assured Centre’s complete assistance in Goa’s progress and development. He said, “The state Government has created right infrastructure for tourism and the Centre's efforts have made it easier for tourism to grow.” The Prime Minister said that Goa deserved everything that was iconic. “We have to develop infrastructure that is the best. We want the state to attract maximum tourists and ensure maximum economic opportunities to the people here”, Shri Modi added further.

The PM remarked that some people were aware of their nearing defeat and hence, they were creating an atmosphere to blame everyone except for themselves. Adding furthermore, Shri Modi said, “There are a few people who are blaming even the Election Commission. We have to respect institutions.”

Attacking the Congress party, Shri Modi said that people of Goa were well aware of their corruption and mis-governance. He remarked, “We can have differences of opinion but that does not mean we need to deviate from the core issue of India's development.”

Appealing to the people of Goa to elect a BJP Government in the upcoming elections, the Prime Minister said, “Today, India has a Government that has the courage to take bold decisions and the world has also recognised that.”

Defence Minister, Shri Manohar Parrikar, Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways and Shipping, Shri Nitin Gadkari and several party workers attended the event.

August 14, 2026
PM shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the power of hard work and human endeavor

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today stated that as we mark Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, we recall the courage of all those who were impacted by Partition. He noted that it was a moment in history that tore apart several lives, where families were uprooted, loved ones were lost, and immense suffering was endured.

The Prime Minister highlighted that at the same time, overcoming this, people rebuilt their lives from nothing, turned adversity into achievement, and contributed immensely to our nation’s progress. He observed that their life journeys remind us of the strength of the human spirit. Shri Modi expressed hope that this day may deepen our resolve to preserve harmony and brotherhood in our nation and collectively work towards building a Viksit Bharat.

The Prime Minister offered his heartfelt tributes to all those countrymen who, emerging from that horrific period, made invaluable contributions to the progress of the country. He stated that through their courage and capability, they showed how resolutions are accomplished even in adverse circumstances. Shri Modi called upon everyone to further strengthen the national spirit of goodwill and solidarity.

Sharing a Subhashitam, the Prime Minister emphasized that it is through hard work, enterprise, and dedicated effort that diverse arts, science, technological skills, craftsmanship, and innovations flourish, paving the way for success. He added that therefore, one should not remain dependent on fate; rather, one should move steadily towards one's goals with courage, diligence, and persistent effort, for it is human endeavor that shapes destiny.

In a series of posts on X, the Prime Minister wrote:

"Today we mark #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay. We recall the courage of all those who were impacted by Partition. It was a moment in history that tore apart several lives…families were uprooted, loved ones were lost and immense suffering was endured.

At the same time, overcoming this, people rebuilt their lives from nothing, turned adversity into achievement and contributed immensely to our nation’s progress. Their life journeys remind us of the strength of the human spirit.

May this day deepen our resolve to preserve harmony and brotherhood in our nation and collectively work towards building a Viksit Bharat."

"विभाजन विभीषिका स्मृति दिवस पर उन सभी देशवासियों का हृदय से नमन, जिन्होंने उस वीभत्स दौर से निकलकर देश की प्रगति में अमूल्य योगदान दिया। उन्होंने अपने साहस और सामर्थ्य से दिखाया कि कैसे विपरीत परिस्थितियों में भी संकल्पों को सिद्ध किया जाता है। आइए, सद्भावना और एकजुटता की राष्ट्रीय भावना को और सशक्त करें।

उद्यमस्य प्रसादेन दृश्यन्ते विविधाः कलाः।
कातरा एव जल्पन्ति यद् भाव्यं तद् भविष्यति॥”

It is through hard work, enterprise and dedicated effort that diverse arts, science, technological skills, craftsmanship and innovations flourish, paving the way for success. Therefore, one should not remain dependent on fate; rather, one should move steadily towards one's goals with courage, diligence and persistent effort, for it is human endeavor that shapes destiny.
