Poor & Poverty is the biggest and the only caste in India: PM Modi

Ahead of the Assembly Election in the state of Madhya Pradesh, PM Modi addressed two public meetings in Seoni and Khandwa. PM Modi said, “BJP Government in MP symbolizes continuity in good governance & development”.

He added that MP has him and the BJP at its heart, and a robust example of the same is the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana which has provided free food grains to the poor. PM Modi said, “Unlike the Scam-laden Congress Governments, we have enabled Garib Kalyan in the true sense”. He added that the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana will be extended for five more years to empower the poor.

Highlighting the contributions of the various Janjatiyas, PM Modi said that both MP and India have tremendously benefitted from the efforts of the tribal leaders such as Rani Durgavati and Raja Shankar Shah, among various others who have prominently contributed to India’s Freedom. He added, “Congress Party only believes in Nepotism, Political Favoritism and Family Rule.” He said that Congress has appropriated everything, including India’s Freedom Legacy, as their own, and their manifesto is a testimony to the same. PM Modi added, “For the BJP, the contribution of all matters and that you all are India for us”.

On the various policies that have facilitated Tribal Development in India, PM Modi highlighted that it was the BJP that introduced the Ministry of Tribal Affairs and created a separate budget for the same. It has been the BJP Government that has honoured the legacy of various tribal leaders, be it the labelling of ‘Janjatiya Diwas’ on the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda or the construction of a memorial for ‘Rani Durgavati’ in Jabalpur and naming the Bhopal Railway Station on ‘Rani Kamlapati.

PM Modi emphasized how the PM Vishwakarma Yojana is a means to honour the poor and downtrodden of India to preserve and promote traditions. He said that in MP, the Congress is only befooling the people by its attempt to contest an election. “In reality, the Congress’ context for contesting the election in MP is to see which among the ‘two Sons’ of the powerful families will get to run the Government”, he added. He said that in the end, the only thing that matters for the Congress is ‘Family’. PM Modi remarked, “The Congress has no future roadmap for the country and the state as well as their future”.

On the state of Congress’ politics, PM Modi lamented, “The Congress even today seeks votes in the names of their forefathers”. He added that it is only the BJP Government that has always envisaged working for the empowerment of all, enabling true social justice. He said that all Government policies are directed to develop MP where its youth realize their true potential. PM Modi stated that all measures are being taken to transform MP’s industry and tourism potential.

On India emerging as the Mobile Manufacturing hub of the world, PM Modi iterated that the mobile manufacturing units in India have increased from 2 in 2014 to more than 200 presently. He added that the main aim of the Government is to impart ‘Ease of Living’ for all. “It’s our transformative policies that have significantly reduced the prices of smartphones and internet data”, added PM Modi.

To enable health for all, PM Modi stated, “With initiatives such as AB-PMJAY and Bhartiya Janaushadi Pariyojana, we have enabled quality healthcare for all”. He added, “Congress Governments have only focused on the exploitation of poor and looting them and filling up their coffers”. For Farmers' Welfare, PM Modi added, “BJP Government has enabled pioneering reforms for the farmers that have truly empowered them, unlike the Congress that has ignored them for decades.”

Addressing the people in Khandwa, PM Modi took a dig at Congress. He said, “Congress-led policies have made MP BIMARU and have treated the state like an ATM Machine.” It has been the wrong policies of the Congress that kept Khandwa a backward district, depriving it of the fruits of development. He added that through the Aspirational Districts Program, Khadwa today has truly prospered under the 10-year BJP rule, said PM Modi.

Talking about the instability-ridden Congress Party, PM Modi retorted, “Congress Party is a synonym for instability, arrogance, crime, corruption, appeasement and mafia-ridden system of governance.” PM Modi stated that considering the dismal track record of the Congress, the people of MP have to be careful and vigilant to prevent the Congress-led malaise.

Speaking on poverty, PM Modi stated, “Poor & poverty is the biggest and the only caste in India.” He added that for the same the Government has implemented several positive policies that saw the exit of 13.5 crore people out of poverty in India in 5 years. He added that, moreover, Modi means the fulfillment of all guarantees.

PM Modi expressed his gratitude to all people who had gathered in large numbers and remarked that a ‘Double-Engine Sarkar is critical for MP’s developmental prospects and appealed to all the first-time voters to vote for a Government that facilitates the rise of MP’s developmental and economic prospects to ‘Top-5’ Indian states.

These multi-tracking proposals are poised to streamline operations and alleviate congestion. The projects are in line with the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji’s Vision of a New India which will make people of the region “Atmanirbhar” by way of comprehensive development in the area which will enhance their employment/ self-employment opportunities.

The projects are planned on PM-Gati Shakti National Master Plan with focus on enhancing multi-modal connectivity & logistic efficiency through integrated planning and stakeholder consultations. These projects will provide seamless connectivity for movement of people, goods, and services.
