The party ruling Punjab neither has honest intent nor clean governance: PM Modi's sharp criticism
Punjab’s farmers, youth and entrepreneurs can make the state one of India's strongest growth engines. For that, Punjab needs a double-engine BJP government: PM’s promise
Punjab's youth have extraordinary talent. From the sports goods capital of Jalandhar, I want to tell every young person that this is the time to seize new opportunities: PM
BJP-governed states are delivering faster development, better welfare and stronger support for farmers and employees: PM notes in Punjab
PM Modi addressed a massive public rally in Jalandhar, Punjab, where he highlighted the transformation of India's railway infrastructure, outlined the BJP's vision for a Viksit Punjab and called for a double-engine government to unlock the state's full potential. He also spoke about the growing opportunities for Punjab's youth through India's emerging sports economy.
The PM said Indian Railways, which serves millions of poor and middle-class families every day, had long suffered neglect under previous governments. He noted that while earlier governments limited themselves to announcing new trains, the BJP government has focused on modernising railway infrastructure across the country. He said the newly inaugurated Jalandhar Cantt station, alongside other stations, reflects the vision of a Viksit Bharat while also celebrating Punjab's cultural heritage. He added that these stations are becoming centres of commerce by creating opportunities for local artisans, Vishwakarma beneficiaries and women SHGs. He also recalled that the BJP government renamed Adampur Airport after Shri Guru Ravidass Maharaj Ji and Chandigarh International Airport after Shaheed Bhagat Singh, honouring India's great icons.
PM Modi strongly criticised the Punjab government over law and order, corruption and misgovernance. He said rising gang wars, extortion, attacks on police stations and the growing drug menace have put Punjab's future at risk. He alleged that corruption and criminal cases involving leaders of the ruling party have eroded public trust, while funds provided by the Centre for roads, irrigation, markets and welfare have not been utilised effectively. He further stated that central schemes were being rebranded instead of being implemented honestly, adding that even the Ayushman Bharat scheme had been subjected to political branding.
Calling for a double-engine government in Punjab, the PM said the state has immense potential through its farmers, youth and entrepreneurs. Drawing comparisons with BJP-governed states, he said double-engine governments have accelerated development, strengthened welfare delivery and ensured better support for farmers and employees. He alleged that promises made to women in Punjab remain unfulfilled, while Congress and other regional parties remain occupied with internal politics instead of serving the people. He said only the BJP can bring lasting development, attract fresh investment, generate employment and make Punjab a stronger and more self-reliant state.
Addressing the youth, he noted Jalandhar's globally recognised sports manufacturing ecosystem and said it is at the heart of India's emerging sports economy. He said initiatives such as ‘Khelo India’ are creating new opportunities across sports manufacturing, coaching, sports science, sports medicine, universities, centres of excellence and sports startups. Referring to his recent visits to Australia and New Zealand, he said several agreements had been signed to strengthen India's sports ecosystem and encouraged Punjab's youth to seize these opportunities and make the country proud on the global stage.
