As campaigning has entered into the last phase for the assembly elections in Karnataka, PM Modi today addressed two mega rallies in Shivamogga and Nanjanagudu. At the beginning of his speech, he expressed gratitude towards those who showed significant support for the BJP. He specifically thanked the people of Bengaluru for their participation in a large-scale roadshow, which elicited an enormous response from the crowd.


Coming down heavily on the Congress on the issue of lies, Prime Minister Modi said, “The ecosystem created by the Congress to spread its lies was inflating a balloon in Karnataka for a long time. Despite the Congress' attempts to inflate the balloon, the people of Karnataka are aware of the deception and ultimately rejecting it by bursting the balloon themselves.”


Prime Minister Modi accused the Congress of neglecting girls' education and women's empowerment during their rule, stating that the lack of separate toilets for girls in schools caused many to drop out but the BJP has launched a campaign to remove this injustice being done to the daughters. He claimed that the government has also opened Sainik schools for women and women's recruitment in all three services. PM Modi expressed confidence in the power of women to lead India in the 21st century, citing Akka Mahadevi as an example.


Talking about the government’s achievements, PM Modi stated, “This is the BJP government under which a university has been built every week in the last 9 years. This is the BJP government under whose rule more than 300 new medical colleges have been built in the country in the last 9 years. It is the BJP which freed the youth of the country from the trouble of getting their papers attested at every step. It is the BJP which ended the tradition of interview for Group C and Group D.”


Lashing out at the Congress party for putting Karnataka on Reverse Gear, PM Modi said, “Congress party wants to abolish the laws made by the BJP government to increase investment in Karnataka. When the investors move to the neighboring states, the youth of Karnataka, the workers of Karnataka will suffer a lot.” He highlighted Shivamogga's importance as an automobile parts hub and mentioned that India had become the third-largest automobile market globally. PM Modi also criticized the Congress for allegedly working against investment promotion in the state, while the BJP was promoting the "Made in India" initiative.


During his second rally in Nanjanagudu, PM Modi said, “Double engine government works with double service, with double power, with double speed. And it has been proved in the last few years that when the country develops rapidly, Karnataka also develops rapidly. In the last 9 years, India came out of Fragile-5 economy and became Top-5 economic power.”


“During our government, every year India created new records of foreign investment and made new records of exports. But as long as there was a Congress, JD(S) government in Karnataka, Karnataka did not get its full benefits. As soon as the double engine government was formed here, the annual foreign investment increased three times as compared to earlier,” he added.


Alleging the Opposition for destroying the country’s cultural heritage, PM Modi said, “India's strength lies in our culture. Karnataka is a strong pillar of this. Mysuru is a heritage district. Nanjanagudu is recognized as a small Kashi. But the governments of Congress and its ally JD(S) insulted this heritage at every step. Our faith and our heritage were also seen through the politics of vote bank and appeasement.” The Prime Minister also referenced the Ayodhya temple of Lord Ram and other pilgrimage sites like Kashi Vishwanath, Kedarnath, and Ujjain Mahakal Mahalok, stating that the Congress did not support their renovation.


Training guns on the Congress over defaming India at the international level, PM Modi stated, “When it comes to working against the interests of India, the Royal Family of the Congress Party is at the forefront. They openly incite foreign powers to interfere in India to influence politics. We all know how these people secretly meet foreign diplomats. They do such things which repeatedly insult the sovereignty of India.”


Further, hitting out at the Congress, PM Modi said, “In this Karnataka election, the royal family of Congress has gone one step further. Now the royal family of Congress has said that they want to protect the sovereignty of Karnataka. Do you know what this means? When a country becomes independent, it is called a sovereign nation. What the Congress is saying means that the Congress considers Karnataka to be separate from India.”


He argued that this statement implied that the Congress viewed Karnataka as separate from India and insulted the contributions of Kannada freedom fighters to India's independence movement. The Prime Minister also expressed surprise at the level of the "tukde-tukde gang" ideology in the Congress party.


PM Modi further accused the Congress party of dividing people based on caste and religion, and causing conflicts between states. He stated that Congress wants to come to power in Karnataka at any cost and warned that the people of Karnataka will not forgive their actions. The Prime Minister promised that the Congress will receive a strong answer from the people of Karnataka on May 10, the day of the election.


Ending his rigorous Karnataka election campaign in Nanjanagudu, the PM said, “The BJP government has taken a pledge to make Karnataka number one in every sector. For number one Karnataka you have to vote for BJP, press the lotus button. There is only one voice coming from all sides in Karnataka – ‘Ee Baria Nirdhara, Bahumatda BJP Sarkara’.” Lastly, he said, “I request every Kannadiga, please cast your vote on 10th May. Your one vote will give a new height to the development of the country and Karnataka.”

Efforts must be made for making PM SHRI schools benchmark for other schools of state governments: PM

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 50th meeting of PRAGATI - the ICT-enabled multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation - earlier today, marking a significant milestone in a decade-long journey of cooperative, outcome-driven governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The milestone underscores how technology-enabled leadership, real-time monitoring and sustained Centre-State collaboration have translated national priorities into measurable outcomes on the ground.

Review undertaken in 50th PRAGATI

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed five critical infrastructure projects across sectors, including Road, Railways, Power, Water Resources, and Coal. These projects span 5 States, with a cumulative cost of more than ₹40,000 crore.

During a review of PM SHRI scheme, Prime Minister emphasized that the PM SHRI scheme must become a national benchmark for holistic and future ready school education and said that implementation should be outcome oriented rather than infrastructure centric. He asked all the Chief Secretaries to closely monitor the PM SHRI scheme. He further emphasized that efforts must be made for making PM SHRI schools benchmark for other schools of state government. He also suggested that Senior officers of the government should undertake field visits to evaluate the performance of PM SHRI schools.

On this special occasion, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi described the milestone as a symbol of the deep transformation India has witnessed in the culture of governance over the last decade. Prime Minister underlined that when decisions are timely, coordination is effective, and accountability is fixed, the speed of government functioning naturally increases and its impact becomes visible directly in citizens’ lives.

Genesis of PRAGATI

Recalling the origin of the approach, the Prime Minister said that as Chief Minister of Gujarat he had launched the technology-enabled SWAGAT platform (State Wide Attention on Grievances by Application of Technology) to understand and resolve public grievances with discipline, transparency, and time-bound action.

Building on that experience, after assuming office at the Centre, he expanded the same spirit nationally through PRAGATI bringing large projects, major programmes and grievance redressal onto one integrated platform for review, resolution, and follow-up.

Scale and Impact

Prime Minister noted that over the years the PRAGATI led ecosystem has helped accelerate projects worth more than 85 lakh crore rupees and supported the on-ground implementation of major welfare programmes at scale.

Since 2014, 377 projects have been reviewed under PRAGATI, and across these projects, 2,958 out of 3,162 identified issues - i.e. around 94 percent - have been resolved, significantly reducing delays, cost overruns and coordination failures.

Prime Minister said that as India moves at a faster pace, the relevance of PRAGATI has grown further. He noted that PRAGATI is essential to sustain reform momentum and ensure delivery.

Unlocking Long-Pending Projects

Prime Minister said that since 2014, the government has worked to institutionalise delivery and accountability creating a system where work is pursued with consistent follow-up and completed within timelines and budgets. He said projects that were started earlier but left incomplete or forgotten have been revived and completed in national interest.

Several projects that had remained stalled for decades were completed or decisively unlocked after being taken up under the PRAGATI platform. These include the Bogibeel rail-cum-road bridge in Assam, first conceived in 1997; the Jammu-Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link, where work began in 1995; the Navi Mumbai International Airport, conceptualised in 1997; the modernisation and expansion of the Bhilai Steel Plant, approved in 2007; and the Gadarwara and LARA Super Thermal Power Projects, sanctioned in 2008 and 2009 respectively. These outcomes demonstrate the impact of sustained high-level monitoring and inter-governmental coordination.

From silos to Team India

Prime Minister pointed out that projects do not fail due to lack of intent alone—many fail due to lack of coordination and silo-based functioning. He said PRAGATI has helped address this by bringing all stakeholders onto one platform, aligned to one shared outcome.

He described PRAGATI as an effective model of cooperative federalism, where the Centre and States work as one team, and ministries and departments look beyond silos to solve problems. Prime Minister said that since its inception, around 500 Secretaries of Government of India and Chief Secretaries of States have participated in PRAGATI meetings. He thanked them for their participation, commitment, and ground-level understanding, which has helped PRAGATI evolve from a review forum into a genuine problem-solving platform.

Prime Minister said that the government has ensured adequate resources for national priorities, with sustained investments across sectors. He called upon every Ministry and State to strengthen the entire chain from planning to execution, minimise delays from tendering to ground delivery.

Reform, Perform, Transform

On the occasion, the Prime Minister shared clear expectations for the next phase, outlining his vision of Reform, Perform and Transform saying “Reform to simplify, Perform to deliver, Transform to impact.”

He said Reform must mean moving from process to solutions, simplifying procedures and making systems more friendly for Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business.

He said Perform must mean to focus equally on time, cost, and quality. He added that outcome-driven governance has strengthened through PRAGATI and must now go deeper.

He further said that Transform must be measured by what citizens actually feel about timely services, faster grievance resolution, and improved ease of living.

PRAGATI and the journey to Viksit Bharat @ 2047

Prime Minister said Viksit Bharat @ 2047 is both a national resolve and a time-bound target, and PRAGATI is a powerful accelerator to achieve it. He encouraged States to institutionalise similar PRAGATI-like mechanisms especially for the social sector at the level of Chief Secretary.

To take PRAGATI to the next level, Prime Minister emphasised the use of technology in each and every phase of the project life cycle.

Prime Minister concluded by stating that PRAGATI@50 is not merely a milestone it is a commitment. PRAGATI must be strengthened further in the years ahead to ensure faster execution, higher quality, and measurable outcomes for citizens.

Presentation by Cabinet Secretary

On the occasion of the 50th PRAGATI milestone, the Cabinet Secretary made a brief presentation highlighting PRAGATI’s key achievements and outlining how it has reshaped India’s monitoring and coordination ecosystem, strengthening inter-ministerial and Centre-State follow-through, and reinforcing a culture of time-bound closure, which resulted in faster implementation of projects, improved last-mile delivery of Schemes and Programmes and quality resolution of public grievances.
