ದೇಶದ ಬಡ ಜನರು ಇಂದು ‘ಖರ್ಚೆ ಕಾಮ್ ಕರಾಯೇ, ಬಚತ್ ಬಧಾಯೇ ಬಾರ್ ಬಾರ್-ಫಿರ್ ಏಕ್ ಬಾರ್, ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ್’ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ: ಬಸ್ತಾರ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಮೋದಿ
ಹಲವು ದಶಕಗಳ ನಂತರ ದೇಶವು ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ಸ್ಥಿರ ಮತ್ತು ಬಲಿಷ್ಠ ಸರ್ಕಾರವನ್ನು ಕಂಡಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಮೋದಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಆದ್ಯತೆ ಬಡವರ ಕಲ್ಯಾಣವಾಗಿತ್ತು
ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯದ ನಂತರ, ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಸರ್ಕಾರವು ದಶಕಗಳಿಂದ ಬಡವರ ಅಗತ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಿದೆ, ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಬಡವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕಾಳಜಿ ವಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ, ಅವರ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸಹ ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಿಲ್ಲ: ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಮೋದಿ
ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯದ ನಂತರ, ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ದೇಶವನ್ನು ಲೂಟಿ ಮಾಡುವ ಪರವಾನಗಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿತ್ತು ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿತ್ತು ಆದರೆ 2014 ರಲ್ಲಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದ ನಂತರ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರು ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ನ ಲೂಟಿ ಪರವಾನಗಿಯನ್ನು ರದ್ದುಗೊಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ: ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಮೋದಿ

In his ongoing election campaigning spree, PM Modi today addressed a public meeting in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. Kickstarting his poll campaign in the state ahead of Lok Sabha election, the PM stated, “"Today, I am here not only to give an account of my 10 years of work but also to express my gratitude to all of you. You have not only formed a BJP government here but also strengthened the foundation of a ’Viksit Bharat’. You have placed your trust in Modi's guarantee. Today, the entire country is saying with that same confidence – ‘Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’!”


“For the poor, there is a very big witness of how BJP has worked, and that is Bastar. It was from Bastar division that I began the construction of the Ayushman Arogya Mandir. These Ayushman Arogya Mandirs have become primary centers for cheap treatment and inexpensive check-ups for the poor across the country. Thousands of Ayushman Arogya Mandirs have been opened here in the state too,” said the PM.


He added, “We have opened more than 11,000 Jan Aushadhi Centers, where medicines are provided with an 80 percent discount. This has saved the poor from spending ₹30,000 crore. This is why today the country's poor are saying – ‘Kharche Kam Karaye, Bachat Badhaye Baar Baar – Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’.”


Lashing out at the corrupt opposition, PM Modi reiterated, “When Modi stopped the path of corrupt individuals, when he put an end to the earnings of middlemen, since then they have been at odds with Modi. Now, angered, they are threatening to break Modi's head with sticks. Modi is the son of the poor, he walks with his head held high... Modi is not afraid of their threats. You tell me, should those who have robbed the poor be punished or not?”


“When I am taking action against corruption, some people are upset and losing their senses. Modi’s mantra is ‘Bhrashtachar Hatao’. They say ‘Bhrashtachari Bachao’. No matter how many threats Modi receives, corrupt individuals will have to go to jail - this is Modi's guarantee,” he added.


Addressing a public rally in Bastar, PM Narendra Modi said, "After independence, Congress thought that it had the license to loot the country but after coming to government in 2014, Modi has cancelled the loot license of Congress and Modi was able to cancel the license because you gave Modi the license. Now their shop has been closed, will they abuse Modi or not? So who will protect me? These crores of my countrymen, my mothers and sisters, have become my Raksha Kavach today."


PM Modi announced that Ram Navami is approaching, and this time, Ayodhya will witness the realization of our dream – a magnificent temple instead of a tent for our Ram Lalla. However, the Congress and the INDI Alliance express discontent over the temple's construction. Furthermore, PM Modi remarked that the Congress's royal family declined the Ram temple consecration invitation, leading to the expulsion of critics within the party. This underscores the Congress's willingness to cross boundaries for appeasement. He further stated that the Congress manifesto carried the imprint of the Muslim League.


Emphasizing the tribal society has always been a priority for the BJP, PM Modi asserted, “The same tribal community that the Congress has historically mocked now sees one of its daughters as the President of the country. It was the BJP that appointed Chhattisgarh's first tribal Chief Minister. The BJP has established separate ministries and budgets for tribal welfare.”


“In the past 10 years, the budget for tribal welfare has increased fivefold. During the Congress government, there were barely a few Ekalavya residential schools nationwide. Today, Chhattisgarh alone has over 70 such schools. While the Congress government provided MSP for only 8-10 forest produce, now this number has reached around 100,” he added. PM Modi stated that ensuring a better life for every tribal family is his guarantee.


In his concluding remarks, PM Modi said, "I was not born to rest but to work. My goal is to develop the nation and make every family prosperous. Every vote cast for the lotus symbol will strengthen Modi's power." The PM stressed, "Therefore, in Bastar, on 19th April, be sure to bless Mahesh Kashyap Ji. In Kanker, on 26th April, ensure that Bhojraj Ji emerges victorious with maximum votes."
