What Congress has done in the name of loan waivers will go down in history as one of the cruel jokes on farmers: PM Modi
The small and medium businesses are growth engines that fuel the economy: PM Modi
Tourism opens the gates for prosperity for all. Tourism includes 3 Ts: Tradition, Talent and Trade: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with BJP booth workers from Belagavi, Bidar, Davangere, Dharwad and Haveri in Karnataka through video conference. The interaction saw PM Modi touch upon several key issues concerning the people of Karnataka and the country at large.

The interaction began at Belagavi where a party worker asked PM Modi his views on the plight of farmers and other communities under the Congress-led government in Karnataka, to which he replied, “What they have done in the name of loan waivers will go down in history as one of the most cruel jokes on farmers. After 6 months in power, news reports say that the Government could only benefit a handful of farmers with their loan waiver scheme. These people go around the country claiming credit for what they have done for farmers. Will they also take credit for the farmers committing suicide in Karnataka? Those in power think that just because they have formed a government by hook or crook, they can get away with anything. But the people of Karnataka and people of India are watching them and their actions. The people will soon teach them a lesson for their ill governance of the state.”

Comparing the state of affairs in Karnataka with that of rest of the country under BJP-led governments, PM Modi described numerous measures and initiatives taken by his government in sectors like MSMEs, tourism and education that have transformed these sectors.

Concluding his wide-ranging interaction at Haveri, Prime Minister Modi talked about the approach of his youth-led governance policies having four core elements, a 4E approach of Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Excellence. He said such a multi-level approach addresses the main issues that the youth of our country are faced with and empowers them to succeed in life.

Prime Minister congratulates people of Chhattisgarh for special celebration of ‘Bastar Pandum’ festival
February 10, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated the people of Chhattisgarh for special celebration of ‘Bastar Pandum’ festival, between February 7 and 9 in Chhattisgarh. During the festival, the rich culture, traditions, and tribal heritage of Bastar were showcased in a magnificent way. Shri Modi stated that such events play a vital role in preserving our cultural heritage and empowering local communities.

"Earlier, whenever the name of Bastar was mentioned, images of Maoism, violence, and backwardness in development would come to mind. But now the situation has completely changed. Today, Bastar is known not only for its development but also for the growing self-confidence of its local people. My only wish is that the coming time for this region be filled with the spirit of peace, progress, and cultural pride", Shri Modi stated.

Responding to a post by Union Minister, Shri Amit Shah on X, Shri Modi said:

"7 से 9 फरवरी के बीच छत्तीसगढ़ में ‘बस्तर पंडुम’ का विशेष आयोजन किया गया। इस उत्सव के दौरान बस्तर की समृद्ध संस्कृति, परंपरा और जनजातीय विरासत का भव्य रूप दिखा। इस प्रयास से जुड़े अपने सभी परिवारजनों को मेरी हार्दिक बधाई। ऐसे आयोजन हमारी सांस्कृतिक विरासत को संरक्षित करने और स्थानीय समुदायों को सशक्त बनाने में अहम भूमिका निभाते हैं।

पहले जब बस्तर का नाम लिया जाता था तो माओवाद, हिंसा और विकास में पिछड़ेपन की छवि उभरती थी। लेकिन अब हालात बिल्कुल बदल चुके हैं। आज बस्तर विकास के साथ-साथ स्थानीय लोगों के बढ़ते आत्मविश्वास के लिए जाना जाता है। मेरी यही कामना है कि यहां का आने वाला समय शांति, प्रगति और सांस्कृतिक गौरव की भावना से परिपूर्ण हो।"
