Tamil Nadu will shatter the false confidence and pride of the I.N.D.I alliance
On the one hand, our record is of unprecedented development, and on the other hand, the I.N.D.I alliance holds a record of crores of scams.
Both the DMK and the Congress are against Tamil Nadu's timeless traditions and culture. The DMK-Congress even supported the ban against 'Jallikattu, ' the pride of Tamil Nadu and its people.
Even when our fishermen were languishing in Sri Lankan jails, they did nothing, and it was our government that got them back safely.
DMK-Congress supports crime against women and also politicizes issues for convenience

On his visit to Tamil Nadu, PM Modi addressed a public rally in Kanyakumari. He said, "There is a wave of confidence among the people of Tamil Nadu to reject any mandate that goes against the interests of India." He added, "Tamil Nadu will shatter the false confidence and pride of the I.N.D.I. alliance". He said that he had embarked on an ‘Ekta Rally’ in 1991 from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and today I have returned from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

When lamenting the corruption-led governance of the I.N.D.I alliance, PM Modi said, "On one hand, our record is of unprecedented development, and on the other hand, the I.N.D.I. alliance holds a record of crores of scams." He said that we established 5G towers, and they only gave India the 2G scam. He noted that the BJP is committed to developing Tamil Nadu, and all its government schemes and development initiatives are oriented towards the same.

Showcasing how DMK-Congress stalled the infra development of Tamil Nadu, PM Modi stated, "Our government completed the Kanyakumari-Narikulam bridge, which DMK-Congress stalled." He added that our government has completed the construction of the 4-lane highway between Kanyakumari and Thiruvananthapuram, and the same is the case for the Marthandam-Parvatipuram flyover. He said, "The B.J.P. has fulfilled the construction of a double-rail bridge, which has been a dream of 40 years for the people of Tamil Nadu."

Speaking on strengthening India's maritime capabilities and fostering port-led development, PM Modi said, "Our government is steadfastly committed to port-led development in Tamil Nadu, empowering the lives of the fishermen community." He also lauded the contribution of Joe. D Cruz who has worked tirelessly for the empowerment of the fishermen community of Tamil Nadu.

Addressing the unprecedented infra development of Tamil Nadu, PM Modi said, "The past ten years have seen the completion of highway projects at an unprecedented rate in Tamil Nadu." He added that various projects are ongoing in the state, enabling the promise of superior infra connectivity in the state.

Highlighting DMK-Congress' dislike for Tamil Nadu and India's culture, PM Modi said, "Both DMK-Congress are against Tamil Nadu's timeless traditions & culture." He added that they were even against the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram. He said, "The DMK-Congress even supported the ban against 'Jallikattu', which is the pride of Tamil Nadu and its people." He added that our government reinstated the practice of 'Jallikattu' with total respect and dignity. He said, "They even opposed the holy 'Sengol' installation in the New Parliament Building."

Taking a dig at the I.N.D.I alliance, PM Modi said, "I.N.D.I alliance is playing with the lives of the people of Tamil Nadu and has befooled its people." He said, "Even when our fishermen were languishing in Sri Lankan jails, they did nothing, and it was our government that got them back safely."

PM Modi said, "Women Empowerment is NDA's promise & priority for the empowerment of Nari Shakti." He noted that the DMK-Congress had disrespected Nari Shakti. He said, "DMK-Congress supports crime against women and also politicizes issues for convenience." He added, "This alliance even opposed the Nari Shakti Vandan Act that aimed to secure the political rights & participation of our Nari Shakti."

In conclusion, he said that we must embrace technology to develop Tamil Nadu. He added, "The NaMoInTamil handle on social media will enable us to connect and collectively envisage the development of Tamil Nadu." He also thanked the people of Tamil Nadu and sought their blessings and support in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 52nd meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform aimed at fostering Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, by seamlessly integrating efforts of the Central and State Governments, earlier today at Seva Teerth.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed four critical infrastructure projects across the Road, Power, Industrial Corridor and Metro Rail sectors, covering four States and costing around ₹30,000 crore. These projects, important for economic growth, regional connectivity, industrial development and public welfare, were reviewed with focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, issue resolution and timely completion.

Prime Minister underlined that delays in infrastructure projects not only lead to cost escalation, but also deprive people and industries of timely benefits. He asked the concerned Ministries and State Governments to resolve pending issues in a mission-mode manner and ensure close monitoring at the highest level.

Prime Minister emphasised the use of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan for efficient planning and timely implementation of infrastructure projects. He also underlined the need for regular and timely updation of project details, utilities, infrastructure layers, clearances and other field-level information on the portal. He further emphasised that the platform must reflect the latest ground situation so that bottlenecks can be identified in advance, inter-agency coordination can be improved and decisions can be taken on the basis of reliable, real-time data.

Prime Minister reviewed TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan and emphasised the need to leverage latest digital technologies including Artificial Intelligence. He suggested a team of NCC cadets and MY Bharat volunteers, for awareness, patient follow-up and community mobilisation.

Prime Minister also reviewed grievances related to Cyber Crime and Digital Arrest. He expressed concern over the rising misuse of digital platforms to defraud citizens and stressed that such matters require coordinated, sensitive and time-bound handling by all concerned agencies. He noted that citizens should not be made to run from one department or agency to another. He also emphasized the need for clear ownership, faster response, better coordination among law enforcement agencies, banks and digital platforms, and stronger public awareness campaigns.

Prime Minister observed that in cases involving cyber fraud, timely action is crucial to prevent financial loss and restore public confidence. He asked all stakeholders to work in close coordination to strengthen prevention, reporting, investigation and grievance redressal mechanisms. He also emphasised that States should work towards enabling e-Zero FIR mechanisms for faster registration and response in cyber fraud cases.
