Every citizen of Delhi is saying – AAP-da Nahin Sahenge…Badal Ke Rahenge: PM Modi
When Delhi was fighting for oxygen and medicines, AAP-da leader’s focus was on ‘sheesh mahal’: PM
Delhi deserves a government that listens, cares, and acts. Only BJP can make that vision a reality: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a massive and enthusiastic rally in Rohini, Delhi today, laying out a compelling vision for the city’s future under BJP’s governance. With resounding cheers from the crowd, the Prime Minister called upon the people of Delhi to usher in an era of good governance by ending a decade of administrative failures and empowering a “double-engine government” to transform the capital into a global model of urban development.

The Prime Minister began his address by celebrating Delhi’s legacy as a city of dreams and opportunities. Saluting the resilience and vibrancy of Delhiites, he emphasized the city’s crucial role in India’s journey to becoming a developed nation. Highlighting the next 25 years as a transformative period for the country, he underscored the importance of Delhi’s alignment with India’s broader development goals.

He passionately declared that the coming years will witness India emerging as the world’s third-largest economy, and for this aspiration to materialize, Delhi must set an example as a capital city that mirrors the nation’s ambition. PM Modi emphasized that the BJP is the only party with the vision, capability, and commitment to lead Delhi into this new era of development.

Throughout his speech, the Prime Minister outlined BJP’s clear roadmap for the city, which includes expanding Delhi’s metro connectivity, addressing traffic congestion through modernized road networks, and investing heavily in housing for the poor and middle class. He pointed out that the BJP-led central government has already allocated ₹75,000 crores for the city’s development, leading to projects like metro extensions and world-class highways. The focus, he asserted, is not just on infrastructure but also on creating an environment that fosters growth and opportunities for every citizen, especially the youth.

While discussing development, PM Modi did not shy away from addressing the failures of the opposition government. In a scathing critique, he described the past decade as a “decade of disaster,” with the opposition prioritizing personal luxuries over public welfare. He highlighted a recent revelation based on a CAG report in a newspaper that the opposition spent exorbitant amounts of money on building their lavish residences, even as Delhi’s citizens struggled with basic necessities during the pandemic. “When Delhi was fighting for oxygen and medicines, their focus was on their ‘sheesh mahal,’” he remarked, drawing sharp contrasts between BJP’s commitment to public welfare and the opposition’s misplaced priorities. “AAP-da Nahin Sahenge…Badal Ke Rahenge,” he added.

The Prime Minister also detailed the BJP’s unwavering focus on empowering women and improving the lives of Delhi’s families. He praised the central government’s initiatives, including the Ujjwala Yojana, construction of millions of toilets, and schemes to promote women’s education and financial independence. He reiterated BJP’s dedication to ensuring a safe, prosperous, and opportunity-filled environment for women in Delhi. “The life of every mother, sister, and daughter in Delhi will be made easier under a BJP government,” he assured the audience.

As the rally progressed, PM Modi made a heartfelt appeal to the people of Delhi to align the city’s governance with that of the central government, referring to this as the “double-engine government” model. He argued that such a model would accelerate development and ensure seamless execution of policies that prioritize the needs of the people. “A double-engine government is not just a promise; it is the path to a modern, vibrant, and progressive Delhi,” PM Modi affirmed.

The Prime Minister also spoke of BJP’s proven track record of governance across India, citing recent electoral successes and development achievements in states like Maharashtra, Odisha, and Haryana. He expressed confidence that Delhi, too, would soon place its trust in the BJP’s leadership, bringing the same transformative governance to the capital.

Concluding his speech, PM Modi reiterated BJP’s commitment to transforming Delhi into one of the world’s best cities. He assured the people that under BJP’s leadership, Delhi would become a beacon of hope and progress for India and the world. Urging BJP workers to connect with every voter, he asked them to spread the message of development, good governance, and accountability. “Delhi deserves a government that listens, cares, and acts. Only BJP can make that vision a reality,” he said.

With loud chants of support from the crowd, the Prime Minister’s rally ended on a high note, signaling strong public enthusiasm for BJP’s vision and leadership. The rally set the stage for a crucial phase in Delhi’s political landscape, as the capital looks toward a future of good governance and unprecedented progress.

Prime Minister urges MPs to vote in favour of Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam Amendment, Calls it Historic Opportunity
April 17, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has highlighted that a discussion is currently underway in Parliament on the amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, noting that deliberations continued till 1 AM last night.

He stated that all misconceptions surrounding the amendment have been addressed with logical responses, and every concern raised by members has been resolved. The Prime Minister added that necessary information, wherever lacking, has also been provided to all members, ensuring that issues of opposition have been clarified.

Emphasising that the issue of women’s reservation has witnessed political debates for nearly four decades, the Prime Minister said that the time has now come to ensure that women, who constitute half of the country’s population, receive their rightful representation.

He observed that even after decades of independence, the low representation of women in the decision-making process is not appropriate and needs to be corrected.

The Prime Minister informed that voting in the Lok Sabha is expected shortly and urged all political parties to take a thoughtful and sensitive decision by voting in favour of the women’s reservation amendment.

Appealing on behalf of the women of the country, he urged all Members of Parliament to ensure that no action hurts the sentiments of Nari Shakti. He noted that crores of women are looking towards the Parliament, its intent, and its decisions.

The Prime Minister called upon MPs to reflect upon their families-mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives—and listen to their inner conscience while making the decision.

He described the amendment as a significant opportunity to serve and honour the women of the nation and urged members not to deprive them of new opportunities.

Expressing confidence, the Prime Minister said that if the amendment is passed unanimously, it will further strengthen Nari Shakti as well as the country’s democracy.

Calling it a historic moment, he urged all members to come together to create history by granting rightful representation to women, who form half of India’s population.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“संसद में इस समय नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन पर चर्चा चल रही है। कल रात भी एक बजे तक चर्चा चली है।

जो भ्रम फैलाए गए, उनको दूर करने के लिए तर्कबद्ध जवाब दिया गया है। हर आशंका का समाधान किया गया है। जिन जानकारियों का अभाव था, वो जानकारियां भी हर सदस्य को दी गई हैं। किसी के मन में विरोध का जो कोई भी विषय था, उसका भी समाधान हुआ है।

महिला आरक्षण के इस विषय पर देश में चार दशक तक बहुत राजनीति कर ली गई है। अब समय है कि देश की आधी आबादी को उसके अधिकार अवश्य मिलें।

आजादी के इतने दशकों बाद भी भारत की महिलाओं का निर्णय प्रक्रिया में इतना कम प्रतिनिधित्व रहे, ये ठीक नहीं।

अब कुछ ही देर लोकसभा में मतदान होने वाला है। मैं सभी राजनीतिक दलों से आग्रह करता हूं… अपील करता हूं...

कृपया करके सोच-विचार करके पूरी संवेदनशीलता से निर्णय लें, महिला आरक्षण के पक्ष में मतदान करें।

मैं देश की नारी शक्ति की तरफ से भी सभी सदस्यों से प्रार्थना करूंगा… कुछ भी ऐसा ना करें, जिनसे नारीशक्ति की भावनाएं आहत हों।

देश की करोड़ों महिलाओं की दृष्टि हम सभी पर है, हमारी नीयत पर है, हमारे निर्णय पर है। कृपया करके नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन का साथ दें।”

“मैं सभी सांसदों से कहूंगा...

आप अपने घर में मां-बहन-बेटी-पत्नी सबका स्मरण करते हुए अपनी अंतरात्मा को सुनिए ...

देश की नारीशक्ति की सेवा का, उनके वंदन का ये बहुत बड़ा अवसर है।

उन्हें नए अवसरों से वंचित नहीं करिए।

ये संशोधन सर्वसम्मति से पारित होगा, तो देश की नारीशक्ति और सशक्त होगी… देश का लोकतंत्र और सशक्त होगा।

आइए… हम मिलकर आज इतिहास रचें। भारत की नारी को… देश की आधी आबादी को उसका हक दें।”

"Parliament is discussing a historic legislation that paves the way for women’s reservation in legislative bodies. The discussions, which began yesterday, lasted till around 1 AM and have continued since the House proceedings began this morning.

The Government has addressed all apprehensions and misconceptions relating to the legislation with facts and logic. All concerns have been addressed and any gaps in information have also been filled.

For nearly four decades, this issue of women’s reservation in legislative bodies has been inordinately delayed. Now is the time to ensure that half of the nation’s population receives its rightful due in decision making. Even after so many decades of Independence, it is not right that women in India have such limited representation in this area.

In a short while from now, voting will take place in the Lok Sabha. I urge and appeal to all political parties to reflect carefully and take a sensitive decision by voting in favour of women’s reservation.

On behalf of our Nari Shakti, I also request all members not to do anything that may hurt the sentiments of women across India. Crores of women are watching us…our intent and our decisions. I once again request that everyone support the amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.”

"I would like to appeal to all Members of Parliament…

Please reflect upon your conscience, remembering the women in your own families.

The legislation to ensure women’s reservation in legislative bodies is a significant opportunity to do justice to women of our nation.

Please do not deprive our Nari Shakti of new opportunities.

If this amendment is passed unanimously, it will further empower the women of our country and strengthen our democracy.

Let us come together today to create history.

Let us ensure that the women of India, who are half of the nation’s population, receive their rightful due.”
