NDA will form government in Punjab; 'Nawa Punjab' will be free from debts: PM Modi in Jalandhar
Nawa Punjab, Bhajpa De Naal, New Punjab will have no place for corruption, law and order will prevail: PM Modi
PM Modi says if Captain Amarinder Singh worked with central government according to principles of federalism then what is wrong in that

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Jalandhar, Punjab. He said, “Punjab has supported me, given me a lot. I will always be indebted to this place; hence I will always work to uplift the state. It's certain that an NDA will form a government in Punjab. Nawa Punjab, Bhajpa De Naal.”


“New India will be made when Nawa Punjab will be formed in this decade. Nawa Punjab - which will preserve its heritage as well as where there will be development. Nawa Punjab - which will be free from debt, will be full of opportunities. Nawa Punjab - where every Dalit brother and sister will be respected, there will be proper participation at every level. Nawa Punjab - where there will be no place for corruption and mafia, there will be rule of law,” he added.


Slamming the ruling party’s administration, PM Modi said, “I wanted to offer prayers at Maa Tripurmalini Devi Shaktipeeth after this event but the administration and police said they will not be able to make the arrangements. This is the situation of government here. But I will surely offer prayers at Shaktipeeth soon.”


Addressing the huge rally in Jalandhar, PM Modi said, “After independence, Punjab has had few options in all these decades. When we were with Akali Dal, we always accepted our small role by treating them as our elder brother. There is only one thing in our hearts. Whatever is good for Punjab, we will do it. But for the first time, BJP has come up in Punjab as the biggest and most reliable option. Once Punjab gives a chance to BJP, then BJP will lead the transformation of Punjab. And I am glad that we now have Captain Amarinder Singh ji, Dhindsa ji with us. Together we will take Punjab forward.”

Highlighting the tyranny of the Congress government, PM Modi stated, “Jalandhar is such a big industrial centre of Punjab. About 70 percent of the sports goods in the country are made in Jalandhar. There are endless possibilities for the industries and for MSMEs here. But, the policies of the Congress have destroyed the industries and the employment. Only the Double Engine Sarkar of BJP can change this situation. Right now, the way businesses in Punjab have been given to the mafia, this game will not be allowed to run under the BJP government. Under the BJP government, the businessman here will carry out his business without any tyranny, without any fear. I assure you of this.”


Talking about farmers’ welfare, PM Modi remarked, “Double Engine Sarkar is paying attention to the needs of small farmers especially. Today, the money of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is going to the accounts of more than 23 lakh farmers of Punjab. The BJP government has also doubled the purchase of crops from farmers at MSP. We also ensured that the money earned from the purchase goes directly to the bank accounts of the farmers. Due to Corona, the prices of fertilizers increased in the global market, but we tried to minimize the burden on the farmers.”


“The Double Engine Sarkar will work for increasing the income of the farmers, reducing the expenditure on farming. The country has also started a big campaign in the direction of organic farming and natural farming,” he added.


“Today on one side there is Bharatiya Janata Party and NDA, whose ideology is related to Punjab and Punjabiyat. We are celebrating 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and 400th Prakash Parv of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at the national level all over the country. Also, in the memory of Veer Sahibzadas, government has decided to mark December 26 as Veer Baal Diwas.”


The Prime Minister said that the Government was giving special priority to the Punjab and it was making efforts to further prosperity in the region. He further said, “BJP will work for the welfare of Punjab and Punjabis. Congress' policies have left so many people unemployed. Our government's motto will always be Vocal for Local, which was never the focus of the previous governments.”


Reminiscing the 1984 Sikh Massacre, the Prime Minister asserted, “Entire Punjab has witnessed that we formed SIT to investigate the 1984 Sikh riots, helped its victims. But Congress has always done the work of sprinkling salt on their wounds by giving big positions to the accused of riots.”

Taking dig at opposition parties, PM Modi said some other people have come to play game of lies in Punjab. In Punjab they talk of ‘Nasha Mukti’ but in Delhi they have opened liquor shops in every street.
He also lashed out at the Congress party for raising questions on our Army.


Concluding his speech at Jalandhar, he said, “I want to give assurance to the people of Punjab, we will leave no stone unturned for the development of the state. We will work hard for the youth of Punjab and to make Punjab a nasha-mukt state.”

PM Modi addresses a mega public meeting in Ernakulam, Keralam
March 11, 2026
You have given Congress and Left more than 70 years. Now give a chance so that BJP-NDA serves you. You will see a great glimpse of #ViksitKeralam: PM
I am also grateful that the governments in Gulf countries are protecting our citizens. Our Indian embassies are helping them 24x7, says PM Modi
To reduce dependence on petrol and diesel, electric vehicles are being promoted. 100 percent electrification of railways is being carried out: PM Modi
Congress-led UDF is now MMC- Muslim League Maoist Congress, while LDF has long-standing ties with extremist elements like the PDP: PM Modi

Amid a massive gathering in Ernakulam today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the enthusiasm and confidence of the people reflected a strong aspiration for Keralam’s development and a new political direction in the state. He emphasised that the aspirations of the people clearly indicate a desire for faster growth and new opportunities.

Expressing confidence in the people’s mandate, PM Modi said, “The 21st century is a crucial time for Keralam. The state needs a new future and a new beginning. I am happy that the people of Keralam have decided to come out of the cycle of LDF and UDF. The confidence visible in this massive public meeting shows that people are ready for change.”

Highlighting the vision of a double-engine government, He stated Keralam possesses immense natural and human potential. He noted that the state has nature, culture, talent, technology and the blessings of the vast sea. However, he remarked that despite these strengths, development had not progressed at the desired pace due to alternating governments and political patterns that slowed long-term progress.

Calling for a new political direction, PM Modi iterated, “For rapid development, this pattern must change. You have given Congress and the Left more than seventy years. Now give BJP-NDA the next five years and you will see the vision of a Viksit Keralam take shape. You have Modi’s guarantee, what has not changed until now will change and Keralam will move forward.”

The Prime Minister said the vision of BJP-NDA is to position Keralam as a global hub for wellness, tourism and cultural experiences. He said, “For a Viksit Keralam, we must create new opportunities in tourism, talent and technology. The youth of Keralam have tremendous capability, and they should lead new sectors like startups, innovation and emerging technologies.”

Highlighting economic priorities, the PM stated, “Our government has ensured financial support and security for fishermen. Fishermen have been provided access to credit through the Kisan Credit Card and insurance coverage of up to five lakh rupees. Major projects like the Vizhinjam International Seaport show our commitment to strengthening the Blue Economy.”

Addressing concerns related to developments in the Gulf region, PM Modi said the government remains fully committed to the safety and welfare of Indian citizens working abroad. “Whenever any Indian citizen has faced danger anywhere in the world, India has made every effort to bring them back safely. Our embassies and missions are working round the clock to ensure help, food, medical care and support for our people,” he said.

“Whether it was rescuing nurses trapped in Iraq or securing the release of Father Tom from terrorists in Yemen, today’s India does not leave its citizens alone in times of crisis. We also brought Father Alexis Prem Kumar safely back from Afghanistan. Even today, our effort is to ensure safety and every possible assistance for Indians caught in difficult situations,” he added.

Coming down heavily on the Congress, PM Modi said, “It is unfortunate that even in such a serious global situation, the Congress party is indulging in politics. Congress leaders are making provocative statements so that the situation worsens, our people face difficulties and then they can start a campaign of abusing Modi.”

Highlighting the importance of self-reliance, PM Modi said, “India is continuously working to become self-reliant in the energy sector. Solar power capacity is expanding, electric mobility is being promoted and railway electrification is progressing rapidly. These steps are strengthening India’s long-term energy security.”

“On one hand, the BJP-NDA government is working tirelessly to make India self-reliant. On the other hand, Congress and the Left are busy mocking the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign. When they were in power, they only increased the country’s dependence on foreign nations. Even today, at a time when the world is facing conflict, Congress, the Left and their ecosystem are spreading rumours and creating panic. I urge the people of the country to stay alert and cautious against such misinformation.”

Criticising political opponents in the state, the Prime Minister said LDF and UDF represent two sides of the same system. He alleged that both groups have been associated with corruption, stalled development and divisive politics, which have hindered the progress of the state.

He continued, “When UDF was in power, the state witnessed the solar scam. Today, under LDF rule, the CMRL scam is dominating the headlines. Look at their partnership even in controversies around the Sabarimala temple. There are allegations of gold loot against leaders of one side and accusations of selling the looted gold against leaders of the other.”

Taking a swipe at the UDF and LDF, PM Modi asserted, "On one side is the UDF led by the Congress, which has now become MMC - Muslim League Maoist Congress. To win elections in Keralam, Congress depends on organisations like Jamaat and others whose radical agendas threaten the peace of the state. On the other side, the LDF has long-standing ties with extremist elements like the PDP, whose leaders are known for spreading extremism among the youth. Therefore, the people of Keralam must remain cautious of both UDF and LDF.”

Calling for a new mandate, the Prime Minister concluded by saying, “The goal of BJP is the development of the nation and the development of Keralam. With a BJP-NDA government here and a double-engine government, Keralam will move ahead with double the speed toward prosperity and growth.”
