Congress always insulted Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, we honoured him: PM Modi at Hoshangabad rally
As soon as the son of a poor family became the Prime Minister, Congress started spreading rumors that Modi has come, Constitution and democracy would be in danger, says the PM
Addressing a public rally in Hoshangabad, PM Narendra Modi says, BHIM UPI which you use for digital payments, we've named it after Babasaheb Ambedkar
The world is trembling as to what will happen, what trouble will come. For such a world, a strong and powerful India is very important, says PM Modi

Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his heartfelt appreciation to all those who gathered at the Hoshangabad, Madhya Pradesh rally upon his arrival. PM Modi paid tribute to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, stating, "The Constitution drafted by Babasaheb is the reason why today, for the third time, I am seeking your blessings to serve. It is because of Babasaheb's Constitution that today, the country's President hails from a tribal family."

“Whether it's his home in Mhow or the various places he lived in within the country and abroad, the BJP government has been fortunate to develop all these places as ‘Panch Teerth’. Otherwise, parties like the Congress have always worked to disrespect Babasaheb. We haven't just confined Babasaheb to thoughts; rather, we have given a new identity to his contribution in modern India. The payment you make through your phone, that BHIM UPI, is named after Babasaheb Ambedkar,” he added.

Hitting out at the Congress party, PM Modi remarked that for many decades after independence, only one family from the Congress party either directly or through remote control governed the country. He said, “As soon as Modi became the Prime Minister, Congress started spreading rumors that the Constitution and democracy are in danger. Now, the royal family of Congress is threatening that if Modi becomes Prime Minister for the third time, the country will be set on fire. They also said it in 2014, 2019 , did something like this happen?...Aag desh mein nahi lagi, aag, jalan unke dilon mein lagi hai…”

Talking about the BJP’s Sankalp Patra and the Congress’s manifesto, PM Modi said, “A while ago, I have elaborated on Modi's guarantees there at the BJP Sankalp Patra release. But look at the situation of the opposition alliance. As many parties there are, there are as many manifestos as possible. If they couldn't even agree on a common manifesto, how will they run the government? Moreover, their individual manifestos are even more dangerous. One manifesto aims to economically bankrupt the country, while another promises to rid India of nuclear weapons.”

Furthermore, he added, “The BJP Sankalp Patra stands before you as Modi's guarantee. Whether in villages or cities, the government will fulfill every poor person's dream of a pakka house- this is Modi's guarantee. The BJP has pledged to build 3 crore new houses in the coming years. Modi guarantees that the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi will continue to operate in same manner. Free rations will continue to be provided to the poor for 5 years... this is also Modi's guarantee. Now, the BJP has announced that all elderly citizens above the age of 70 will also be included in the ambit of the Ayushman Bharat scheme.”

PM Modi announced plans for the 150th birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda in 2025, which will be celebrated as the Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh. He said, “Efforts will be accelerated to expand the number of Eklavya Model Schools to reach up to 700. Work is already underway on the PM Janman Yojana with an allocation of 24,000 crores for the upliftment of backward tribes, even among the indigenous population. This initiative will also be expedited during Modi's third term. These efforts will greatly assist in the advancement of our SC-ST-OBC communities in Madhya Pradesh.”

Mocking the Gandhi scion, PM Modi remarked that the Congress ‘Shehzaade’ has announced he will eradicate poverty from the country in one stroke. This statement has surprised the entire nation. The country is wondering where this "royal magician" had been hiding all these years.

Continuing his remark, PM Modi added, 'Fifty years ago, his grandmother made a similar promise to eradicate poverty from the country. For 10 years before 2014, he ran the government remotely. And now, he claims to have found the magic formula. Making such claims is why they have become the subject of ridicule nationwide."

The PM went on to say, "I don't have any personal dreams. Your dream is Modi's resolution. Because all of you, this entire nation, is my family. That's why, today, wide roads are being built on all sides. Modernization of many railway stations is underway here. The number of medical colleges has doubled in the last 10 years. The effort is to ensure you face no difficulties, no inconvenience. But this is just the trailer for now. There is still a lot to do. We have to take the country, Madhya Pradesh, further ahead.”

Wrapping up his speech, the PM called upon every voter in Hoshangabad to endorse the BJP candidate to maintain the trajectory of growth and progress. He extended heartfelt greetings to all, encouraging them to share his best wishes door-to-door.

PM Modi chairs 51st PRAGATI Meeting
May 27, 2026
PM reviews seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors
Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of around ₹30,000 crore
PM also reviews Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0
PM says Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues amicably
PM asks States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants
PM calls for mission-mode rooftop solar coverage in urban areas
Acting upon the advice of PM, system of monthly review of social sector schemes at State level operationalised, starting with review of Swachh Bharat Mission

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.
