Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Jan Jatiya Mahasabha in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, where he expressed his gratitude and offered his respects to the people of the region. The event witnessed an overwhelming turnout, indicative of the strong support and enthusiasm of the people towards the government's initiatives and vision for the state, PM Modi expressed happiness.

PM Modi commenced his address by paying homage to Lord Deva Zhiri Mahadev and acknowledging the sacred soil of Jhabua. He extended his respects to the indigenous communities, mothers, and sisters of the region, expressing heartfelt joy in meeting them, akin to meeting his relatives. Reflecting on the deep-rooted connection between Jhabua and Gujarat, PM Modi emphasized the geographical and emotional ties shared by the people of both regions.

Amidst the preparations for Bhagoria, PM Modi conveyed his best wishes to the community for the upcoming festivities. He announced the release of the development fund for the Adarsh Gram Yojana and the initiation of major railway projects in Madhya Pradesh, underscoring the government's commitment to enhancing connectivity and fostering progress in the region.

PM Modi clarified that his visit was not for the promotion of Lok Sabha elections but to express gratitude to the people of Madhya Pradesh. He lauded the support received in the assembly elections and highlighted the increasing public endorsement of the BJP government's governance model.

Drawing a contrast between the governance eras in Madhya Pradesh, PM Modi praised the transformative efforts of the double-engine government in propelling the state towards development. He criticized the Congress party's neglect of tribal welfare and highlighted the BJP government's initiatives aimed at empowering tribal communities.

He said, “Young people may not even remember, but today Madhya Pradesh, which was once counted among the sickest states in the country before the BJP government, is rapidly progressing on the path of development. The biggest reason behind making Madhya Pradesh sick was the Congress' hate-filled attitude towards villages, the poor, and tribal areas. They never cared about the development of tribal society or thought about their dignity. For them, the tribal people only meant some votes. They remembered villages, the poor, and the backward only when elections approached.”

PM Modi emphasized the government's focus on education, healthcare, and infrastructure development in Madhya Pradesh. He underscored the significance of the ownership scheme in providing land documents to the people and highlighted the PM JANMAN Yojana's impact on the rapid development of tribal communities.

“For us, the tribal society is not just a vote bank, but it is the pride of the nation. Your respect and your development, both are guaranteed by Modi. Modi does not approve if even a single tribal child falls behind due to lack of education. Our tribal society has been sustaining itself on forest resources for thousands of years. During the Congress era, legal barriers were imposed on the rights of tribals. By amending the forest laws, our government has returned forest rights to the tribal society” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing the Congress party's divisive tactics, PM Modi warned against their attempts to incite unrest and divide communities for political gain. He condemned Congress' attitude towards tribal society and criticized their opportunistic approach during elections.

“Congress has been in power for so many years. However, they did not worry about the untimely deaths of tribal youths and children. They knew that innocent tribal people would not hold their government responsible for diseases. This wasn't just an election issue,” said PM Modi.

Highlighting the government’s initiative towards tribal communities and their upliftment, PM Modi said, “Those who are the most deprived, the most backward, are the top priority in our government. The tribal society, which was cut off from the mainstream of development till now, has now started rapid development under the PM JANMAN Yojana. Its benefits will be for tribal communities like Baera, Bharia, and Sahariya in this region.”

Speaking of the infrastructural developmental journey in Madhya Pradesh, the Prime Minister said that the government is focusing equally on modern infrastructure in MP. In the ten years of the Congress government, MP received as much money for railway development as we are sending 24 times more to MP today.

PM Modi lashed out at Congress’ and its allies' intentions when it comes to public welfare. He said, “Those who neglect the public face this fate. Congress is now trapped in its own sins. It will struggle as much to get out of it as it struggles more. Congress and its friends have only two strengths. When they are in power, they loot. When they are out of power, they incite people. In other words, loot and unrest are the oxygen of Congress. When these are stopped, the political strength of the Congress party starts to wane. In most states, the public has shut down their loot by rejecting them from power. Now, they are trying to divide people based on caste, language, and region to regain power. But the country is watching their actions. The country will not let their schemes succeed.”

Underscoring the government’s initiatives towards empowering women and self-help groups, PM Modi said, “The Namodrone Didi campaign by the central government is also going to provide modern drones to 15 thousand self-help groups across the country. Soon, Namodrone Didis will also be seen leading the agricultural revolution in Jhabua.”

PM Modi concluded his address by expressing confidence in the continued progress of Madhya Pradesh with the support of its people. He thanked the audience for their overwhelming presence and reiterated his commitment to the state's development and prosperity.

PM to Inaugurate Grand International Exposition of Sacred Piprahwa Relics related to Bhagwan Buddha on 3rd January
January 01, 2026
Piprahwa Relics are among earliest and most historically significant relics directly connected to Bhagwan Buddha
Exposition titled “The Light & the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One” provides insights into the life of Bhagwan Buddha
Exposition showcases India’s enduring Buddhist heritage
Exposition brings together Repatriated Relics and Archaeological Treasures of Piprahwa after more than a century

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Grand International Exposition of Sacred Piprahwa Relics related to Bhagwan Buddha, titled “The Light & the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One”, on 3rd January, 2026 at around 11 AM at the Rai Pithora Cultural Complex, New Delhi.

The Exposition brings together, for the first time, the Piprahwa relics repatriated after more than a century with authentic relics and archaeological materials from Piprahwa that are preserved in the collections of the National Museum, New Delhi, and the Indian Museum, Kolkata.

Discovered in 1898, the Piprahwa relics hold a central place in the archaeological study of early Buddhism. These are among the earliest and most historically significant relic deposits directly connected to Bhagwan Buddha. Archaeological evidence associates the Piprahwa site with ancient Kapilavastu, widely identified as the place where Bhagwan Buddha spent his early life prior to renunciation.

The exposition highlights India’s deep and continuing civilizational link with the teachings of Bhagwan Buddha and reflects the Prime Minister’s commitment to preserve India’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage. The recent repatriation of these relics has been achieved through sustained government effort, institutional cooperation and innovative public-private partnership.

The exhibition is organised thematically. At its centre is a reconstructed interpretive model inspired by the Sanchi stupa, which brings together authentic relics from national collections and the repatriated gems. Other sections include Piprahwa Revisited, Vignettes of the Life of Buddha, Intangible in the Tangible: The Aesthetic Language of Buddhist Teachings, Expansion of Buddhist Art and Ideals Beyond Borders, and Repatriation of Cultural Artefacts: The Continuing Endeavour.

To enhance public understanding, the exposition is supported by a comprehensive audio-visual component, including immersive films, digital reconstructions, interpretive projections, and multimedia presentations. These elements provide accessible insights into the life of Bhagwan Buddha, the discovery of the Piprahwa relics, their movement across regions, and the artistic traditions associated with them.
