Karnataka is a state where there is CM in waiting, Super CM, Shadow CM, Future CM Aspirant & Collection Master to facilitate scams & loot

Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi addressed a public rally in Karnataka’s Shivamogga. He said, “The unwavering support of Karnataka for the BJP has given the corruption-ridden I.N.D.I alliance, sleepless nights”. He said that he is confident that the people of Karnataka will surely vote for the BJP to enable it garner 400+ seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking on the priorities of the BJP, PM Modi said, “The BJP prioritizes development, Garib-Kalyan & an India with robust potential”. He said, “The Congress & the I.N.D.I alliance possess no roadmap, agenda or vision for the development of India”. He added on the other hand, “Congress relies on lies, deceit & only wishes to make Karnataka an ATM machine of Loot.” He said, “Karnataka is a state where there is CM in waiting, Super CM, Shadow CM, Future CM Aspirant & Collection Master to facilitate scams & loot.” He mentioned that a direct impact of the same is being borne by the people of Karnataka.

Lamenting the I.N.D.I alliance, PM Modi said, “The I.N.D.I alliance has proclaimed to end the concept of ‘Shakti’ that has not only disrespected the Hindu Dharma but the Nari Shakti of India.” He said, “Modi is dedicated to serve and empower the mothers, daughters & sisters of India.” He added, “The Congress relies on divisive politics & always aims to divide communities on various distinctions like caste and religion to rule on them.” He mentioned, “A Congress MP in Karnataka has made statements calling for a North-South Divide that showcases their divisive mentality.”

Highlighting the pioneering reforms initiated by the government at the center, PM Modi said, “The aim of the government has been to provide last-mile saturation of all schemes to the people of Karnataka.” He said, “BJP has always prioritized the empowerment of SC-ST-OBC and the safe evacuation of the members of the ‘Hakki-Pikki’ tribe through ‘Operation Kaveri’ is a testimony to the same.” He added that our government has prioritized the SC-ST community by enabling the election of two Presidents from these communities providing wider representation.

Acknowledging India’s unprecedented rise, PM Modi said, “Today, Vande Bharat, Namo Bharat, UPI, underwater metro, green corridor among several others have collectively emerged as the identity of a ‘New India.’ He said that even Shivamogga is connected to various regions within Karnataka and India through national highways and infra connectivity has always been our priority.

Concluding his remarks, he said, “I would like to thank the people of Karnataka and seek their blessings for Lok Sabha 2024 elections and wish that the people will vote us victorious across the 28 seats in the state.”

India has always been dedicated to the path of Jnanyoga, thousands of years old Vedas continue to inspire even today: PM
Bhagwan Swaminarayan was a symbol of both spiritual practice and service: PM
PM urges cooperation of all in Gyan Bharatam Mission to preserve ancient manuscripts

Jai Swaminarayan!

​Today we all are becoming witnesses to a special occasion. This occasion of the 200 years, the bicentenary celebrations of Lord Swaminarayan's Shikshapatri, is a matter of good fortune for all of us that we are all becoming participants in this holy festival. In this pious period, I bow to all you saints. I congratulate the crores of followers of Lord Swaminarayan on the bicentenary festival.

​Friends,

​India has been dedicated to Gyan Yoga. The thousands-of-years-old Vedas are an inspiration for us even today. Our sages and monks, in accordance with the contemporary times and in the light of the Vedas, continuously developed the systems of that time. From Vedas to Upanishads, from Upanishads to Puranas, Shrutis, Smritis, storytelling, singing—our tradition continued to become empowered through such diverse dimensions.

​Friends,

​According to the need of the time, in different periods, Mahatmas, sages, and thinkers added new chapters to this tradition. We all know that the incidents of Lord Swaminarayan's life have been associated with public education and public service. He explained this very experience in simple words. In the form of Shikshapatri, Lord Swaminarayan gave us invaluable guidance for life.

​Friends,

​Today, this special occasion of the bicentenary celebration gives us a chance to assess what new things we are learning from the Shikshapatri, and to what extent we are living its ideals in our lives?

​Friends,

​Lord Swaminarayan's life was an embodiment of service along with spiritual practice. Today, so many campaigns for the service of society, nation, and humanity are being run by his followers. Projects related to education and health, resolutions for farmer welfare, campaigns related to water—these are truly commendable. It is very inspiring to see all of you saints and Hari devotees continuously expanding your responsibilities towards social service.

​Friends,

​Today the country is taking forward mass movements like Swadeshi and cleanliness. The echo of the mantra of 'Vocal for Local' is reaching every house. If your efforts join these campaigns, then this holy celebration of the bicentenary of the Shikshapatri will become even more unforgettable. You all know that the country has launched the Gyan Bharatam Mission for the preservation of ancient manuscripts. It is my request that all enlightened organizations like yours cooperate more in this work. We have to save the ancient knowledge of our India, we have to save its identity, and in this, your cooperation will take the success of the Gyan Bharatam Mission to new heights.

​Friends,

​At this time, the massive cultural festival of Somnath Swabhimaan Parv is going on in the country. The country is celebrating the journey of one thousand years from the first destruction of the Somnath temple until now as the Somnath Swabhimaan Parv. It is my request that you all join this festival as well and work to take its objectives to every person. I am confident that through you, India's development journey will continue to receive the blessings of Lord Swaminarayan like this. Once again, I give my heartfelt best wishes to all the saints, all the Hari devotees, and all the pilgrims.

​Jai Swaminarayan!

​Many many thanks!
