Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed public meetings in Ahmednagar and Beed, Maharashtra, rallying support for BJP and NDA ahead of the upcoming elections. Addressing the gathering, PM Modi emphasized the significant contributions of Maharashtra in development, cooperative movements, and the legacy of Balasaheb Vikhe Patil. He fondly remembered Balasaheb Vikhe Patil, acknowledging his role in the progress of the state.

The Prime Minister then highlighted the ongoing voting for the third phase of the elections, stating that the overwhelming support received by the BJP-NDA indicates the imminent end of the Congress-led coalition government. He asserted, "The expiry date of the INDI alliance government is set for June 4. After June 4, no one will be found to hoist the flag of the INDI alliance anymore."

“This election is happening between satisfaction (Santushtikaran) and appeasement (Tushtikaran). The entire effort of BJP-NDA is to satisfy the people with their hard work. While those of INDI alliance are engaged in appeasing their vote bank through their conspiracies. Congress has made its entire manifesto bearing the imprint of Muslim League,” he added.

PM Modi drew a sharp contrast between the agendas of the BJP-NDA and the Congress-INDI alliance. He characterized the BJP-NDA's focus as development, poverty alleviation, national security, and the honor of the country while criticizing the Congress for appeasing its vote bank through empty promises.

Highlighting the BJP-NDA's achievements in poverty alleviation and farmer welfare, PM Modi listed initiatives such as providing pucca houses, Jan Dhan accounts, and free grain for 80 crore needy people.

“Today, the Congress and INDI alliance have themselves exposed their dangerous conspiracy. Right now, it belongs to SC/ST/OBC, the poor of the general category.

PM Modi condemned the Congress-INDI alliance's dangerous agenda, particularly regarding reservations. He criticized their proposal to grant reservations solely to Muslims, jeopardizing the rights of SC/ST/OBC communities. He warned against their attempt to change the Constitution to serve their special interests.

“Now INDI alliance says that they will snatch away this entire reservation from SC/ST/OBC and give it to Muslims. They want to give away the entire reservation that Baba Saheb Ambedkar stopped. These Congress and INDI alliance people want to do this. The Constitution opposes reservation based on religion. Now they want to change this Constitution. So that they can make their special vote bank happy,” said PM Modi.

Regarding the recent statements made by Congress leaders about the Mumbai terrorist attacks of 26/11, PM Modi termed them as dangerous and insulting to the victims and security forces. He questioned the credibility of Congress and its allies to lead Maharashtra.

The Prime Minister said, “No trick of the INDI alliance is working in front of the people. They are even crossing the limits of hopelessness. The situation is indicating desperation. The ‘A team’ here is losing, so the ‘B team’ of Congress is becoming active across the border. To boost the morale of the Congress, tweets are being made from across the border. In return, the Congress party is giving clean chits to terrorists.”

Highlighting the infrastructural development and national security in the last 10 years achieved under the NDA government, PM Modi said, “Modi has ensured security and development for the last 10 years. The problems left by the Congress legacy have been solved by us. Congress pushed farmers into crisis in Maharashtra. The drought crisis worsened. Congress remained busy with its loot. We have addressed the concerns of farmers by completing pending projects for years. The work on the Nilwande Dam started in 1970.”

Highlighting the developmental projects in Maharashtra, PM Modi mentioned the construction of the Ahilyanagar-Solapur highway, outer ring road, and new expressways. He emphasized the focus on infrastructure development, railways, airports, and the Mumbai-Shirdi Vande Bharat train, which will enhance tourism and employment opportunities in the region.

PM Modi urged the people of Maharashtra to vote wisely on May 13, emphasizing the importance of supporting BJP candidates. He assured that their votes would strengthen the BJP-NDA's agenda of development and progress.

Addressing his second public gathering in Beed, Maharashtra, PM Modi expressed his heartfelt connection to the late Gopinath Munde and urged support for development and nationalism in the state.

PM Modi stated, "There has been a heartfelt connection between us and our late Gopinath Munde ji from Beed. He always discussed the development of Beed and Marathwada with me. I remember him fondly."

Speaking about the ongoing elections, PM Modi remarked on the declining hopes of the INDI alliance, stating, "In the first phase, the INDI alliance was defeated, in the second phase, it was devastated, and today in the third phase, the lamp of the INDI alliance has also gone off."

Highlighting his commitment to the development of India, PM Modi sought blessings from the people, emphasizing that their future generations are his legacy. He pledged to work tirelessly to improve the future of the country and its citizens, stating, "Modi is on a mission for the development of India. You are my family; the entire India is my family."

PM Modi also criticized the agenda of the INDI alliance, accusing them of planning a 'Mission Cancel' if they come to power. He stated, "Their only agenda is this, if they come to power, they will run a 'Mission Cancel'." He highlighted their intentions to cancel Article 370, the CAA, and laws against triple talaq, among other policies.

Highlighting Congress’ anti-national approach, PM Modi said, “The country has not forgotten, that day when during Congress's time, terrorists were welcomed at the Prime Minister's residence. And the country also saw that day, when Congress's biggest leader was shedding tears for the terrorists killed in Batla House.”

Furthermore, PM Modi warned against the appeasement politics of the Congress and the INDI alliance, expressing concern over their plans to give full reservation to Muslims at the expense of existing SC-ST-OBC reservations. He urged caution, particularly among Dalits, backward classes, and tribals.

Regarding the nationalist stance, PM Modi asserted that the real nationalist force is with the BJP while accusing the Congress and its allies of making fake promises and creating fake videos.

Speaking about Congress and INDI Alliance’s misrule, PM Modi said, “Wherever Congress has gone, it has crushed dreams. Maharashtra and Marathwada are suffering because of it. The INDI alliance has never paid attention to the drought issues here. They only indulged in corruption. The Marathwada water grid project was stalled for 60 years.”

PM Modi underscored the importance of development in Marathwada, emphasizing the NDA's commitment to infrastructure projects in the region, including the Bharatmala project and irrigation initiatives.

While concluding his address, PM Modi called upon the people of Maharashtra to support the BJP and its allies in the upcoming elections, urging them to vote for the vision of a developed India.

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.
