Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Maharashtra’s Chandrapur. During the stirring address to the people of Maharashtra, PM Modi emphasized the importance of stability and development while urging support for the BJP-NDA candidates in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Speaking at a public meeting, PM Modi highlighted the progress made in various sectors and called for continued efforts towards the betterment of the nation.

Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi acknowledged the rising political fervor in the country but commended the unwavering enthusiasm and spirit of the people. He expressed his gratitude to the residents of Chandrapur for their support and reminisced about their contribution to the construction of the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, symbolizing the unity and progress of New India.

Reflecting on the contrasting visions of stability and instability in the upcoming elections, PM Modi contrasted the BJP-NDA's commitment to decisive action for the country's progress with the Congress and INDI Alliance's focus on self-serving interests. He emphasized the need for a stable government, citing Maharashtra's experience of neglect under previous regimes.

PM Modi highlighted the transformative initiatives undertaken by the government for the development of Maharashtra and Vidarbha, reinstating schemes and projects that had been stalled by previous administrations. He praised the efforts of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and others in driving development and ensuring progress in the region.

He said, “The INDI Alliance has always pushed the country into instability. How important and necessary a stable government is, who would know better than Maharashtra? As long as the INDI Alliance was in power at the center, Maharashtra was continuously neglected. When these INDI Alliance people, by conspiring, snatched the mandate and reached the helm of the state, they only worked for their own development.”

“Our government has restarted all these schemes for the development of Maharashtra and Vidarbha. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and Ajit Pawar along with the entire government are working day and night. Big development works are being completed rapidly. When the intention is right, the results are also right,” he added.

Underscoring the government's dedication to empowering marginalized communities, PM Modi recounted the numerous welfare measures implemented to uplift Dalits, tribals, and backward classes across the country. He credited the support of the people for the successful implementation of these initiatives, emphasizing the transformative impact of their votes.

Drawing attention to the Congress party's history of creating problems rather than addressing them, PM Modi highlighted instances of division, appeasement, and neglect that characterized their governance since independence. He called out the Congress for obstructing progress and playing divisive politics, urging voters to reject such divisive ideologies.

PM Modi said, “For the past 10 years, the Congress has been out of power. You have given the NDA a full majority. We have provided a permanent solution to the country's major problems. Today, not only Maharashtra but the entire country has weakened Naxalism.”

“The Congress has released its manifesto, and it also contains the language of the Muslim League. Their MPs are talking about another partition of India. People from the INDI alliance are threatening to separate South India. The DMK party in the INDI alliance talks about ending Sanatan by calling it dengue malaria,” he added.

While concluding the address, PM Modi urged the people of Maharashtra to support the BJP-NDA candidates in the upcoming elections, citing their track record of delivering results and driving development. He called upon voters to exercise their franchise in large numbers on April 19th and April 26th, ensuring a decisive mandate for stability and progress.

PM Modi’s Green Energy Vision is a Game-Changer for India. Here's what Stats Speak
December 13, 2024

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spearheaded a transformative push in India's renewable energy sector, positioning the nation as a global leader in sustainable energy initiatives. Under his leadership, India has not only made significant strides in increasing its renewable energy capacity but has also taken on pivotal roles in international renewable energy organizations. Notably, India co-founded the International Solar Alliance (ISA) with France, which aims to promote solar energy usage among its 99 member countries and mobilize substantial investments for solar projects. India's ambitious goal to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 reflects this commitment. The nation has successfully installed over 200 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity, making it the first G20 country to fulfill its climate commitments ahead of schedule. PM Kusum has been instrumental in ensuring reduction of dependency on fossil fuels from agriculture sector. Over 4 lakh farmers have benefited from the scheme . The PM Surya Ghar scheme exemplifies this approach by providing financial support for rooftop solar installations, allowing households to become power producers while also generating employment opportunities. This initiative not only promotes renewable energy but also helps families save on electricity costs. The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the world’s largest domestic rooftop solar initiative, is transforming India’s energy landscape with a bold vision to supply solar power to one crore households by March 2027

Moreover, the government's focus on energy efficiency is evident in the widespread adoption of LED lighting across homes and infrastructure, significantly reducing power consumption and contributing to lower carbon emissions. These combined efforts illustrate India's comprehensive strategy to transition towards a sustainable energy future while ensuring economic growth and environmental protection.
