“ಈ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ ಉಭಯ ದೇಶಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ಬಾಂಧವ್ಯದ ಸಂಕೇತ: ಭಾರತ ಮತ್ತು ಫಿಜಿ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಗಳ ಪಯಣದ ಹಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಹೊಸ ಅಧ್ಯಾಯ”

“ಭಾರತ – ಫಿಜಿ ನಡುವಿನ ಬಾಂಧವ್ಯ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಗೌರವ ಆಧರಿತವಾಗಿದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಜನರಿಂದ ಜನರ ನಡುವೆ ಬಲಿಷ್ಠ ಬಾಂಧವ್ಯದಿಂದ ಕೂಡಿದೆ”

His Excellency, the Prime Minister of Fiji, Bainimarama ji, Sadhguru Madhusudan Sai, all trustees of the Sai Prem Foundation, staff members of the hospital, distinguished guests, and my dear brothers and sisters of Fiji!

'नि-साम बुला विनाका',

Namaskar !

It gives me immense pleasure to be associated with this launch event of Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Heart Hospital in Suva. I thank His Excellency Prime Minister of Fiji and the people of Fiji for this. This is yet another symbol of our mutual relationship and love. This is another chapter in the shared journey of India and Fiji. I am told that this Children's Heart Hospital is the first Children's Heart Hospital not only in Fiji, but also in the entire South Pacific region. For a region where heart-related diseases are a major challenge, this hospital will be a medium of giving new lease of life to thousands of children. I am glad that every child here will not only get world class treatment, but all the surgeries will also be 'free of cost'. I express my sincere appreciation to the Fiji government, to the Sai Prem Foundation Fiji and to the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Heart Hospital of India for the same.

Especially, on this occasion, I bow to the Brahmalin Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The seed planted by him for the service to humanity is serving people today like a banyan tree. I have said earlier also that Sathya Sai Baba had done a wonderful job of freeing spirituality from rituals and connecting it to public welfare. His work in the field of education, his work in the field of health, his service towards the poor, down-trodden and deprived, still inspires us. The people of Gujarat could never forget the way Baba's followers had served the victims when Gujarat was devastated by an earthquake two decades ago. I consider it my great fortune that I have been blessed by Sathya Sai Baba continuously. I have been associated with him for many decades and I am getting his blessings even today.

Friends,

It is said in India, ''परोपकाराय सतां विभूतयः''। That is, charity is the asset of a noble man. Our resources are meant for service to human beings and welfare of living beings. It is on these values that the common heritage of India and Fiji has stood. Following these ideals, India has performed its duties even in difficult times like the Corona pandemic. It is also said,'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', which means, the whole world is one family. Considering this motto, India sent medicines and essential goods to 150 countries of the world. Apart from its crores of citizens, India also took care of the people of other countries of the world. We have sent around 100 million vaccines to about 100 countries. In this endeavour, we have also kept Fiji as our priority. I am glad that the Sai Prem Foundation is here to carry forward that feeling of affinity of the whole of India for Fiji.

Friends,

There is a vast sea between our two countries, but our culture has kept us connected with each other. Our relationships are built on mutual respect, cooperation, and the strong mutual ties of our people. It is the good fortune of India that we have been getting the opportunity to play a role and contribute to the socio-economic development of Fiji. In the last decades, India-Fiji relations have continuously flourished and strengthened in every field. With the cooperation of Fiji and His Excellency Prime Minister, this relationship will get stronger in the times to come. Incidentally, it is also the birthday of my friend Prime Minister Bainimarama ji. I wish him a very happy birthday. I also once again convey my best wishes to all the members associated with Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Heart Hospital. I am sure, this hospital will become a strong institution for service in Fiji and the region as a whole, and will take India-Fiji relations to new heights.

Thank you very much!

PM Modi addresses a vibrant crowd in Jharkhand’s Jamshedpur
September 15, 2024
We made the district mineral foundation... The BJP is working at the centre for the development of Jharkhand: PM Modi in Jamshedpur
I am confident that the people of Jharkhand will vote for the state's development, says PM Modi in Jamshedpur
The relationship between Jharkhand and the BJP is not just a political one. It is a bond of the heart, a relationship of belonging: PM Modi
The three biggest enemies of Jharkhand are JMM, RJD, and Congress, says PM Modi in Jamshedpur
Congress ruled the country from Delhi for so many decades but they did not let backwards, Adivasi and Dalits come forward: PM Modi

Jamshedpur, Jharkhand warmly welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a vibrant public rally. The PM said, "Amid the excitement of Karma Puja, I had the privilege of giving Jharkhand several major development gifts before coming here. Today, Jharkhand has received six new Vande Bharat trains. People in different cities across Jharkhand will now experience high-speed travel with modern amenities. It will also create opportunities for employment and progress for the youth."

Addressing the huge gathering, PM Modi said, "The relationship between Jharkhand and the BJP is not just a political one. It's a bond of the heart, a relationship of belonging. Jharkhand's dream is BJP's own dream. PM Modi asked, "Who fulfilled the dream of a separate Jharkhand? The BJP government! Who first focused on Jharkhand's backward districts with the Aspirational Districts Program? The BJP! Who launched Janjatiya Gaurav Divas on Birsa Munda's birth anniversary? The BJP! For decades, tribal youth were denied education—who ensured quality schooling for them? Who built over 400 Eklavya Residential Schools? The BJP! And who made a tribal woman the President of India? The BJP!"

While urging people to give the BJP a chance, PM Modi stated, “The BJP will leave no stone unturned for Jharkhand's development. Jharkhand has three biggest enemies—JMM, RJD, and Congress. RJD is still taking revenge on Jharkhand for its formation, and Congress outright despises Jharkhand. The Congress party ruled the country for decades, yet they never allowed the Dalit, backward, and tribal communities to progress."

Talking about infiltration - a major issue facing Jharkhand right now, the PM asserted, “Just a few days ago, the Jharkhand High Court ordered an independent panel to investigate this infiltration. However, the JMM government refuses to acknowledge that infiltration is happening in Jharkhand. Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltration poses a significant threat in Santhal Pargana and Kolhan. In Santhal Pargana, the tribal population is decreasing at an alarming rate. The lands of the local people are being seized. Infiltrators are taking control of panchayats and the system, and incidents of atrocities against daughters are rising. The truth is, the JMM is siding with these Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators.”

Lashing out at the ruling party, the PM iterated, “Those who play vote-bank politics are loyal to no one, and the JMM government's five-year term is proof of that. Today, the poor tribals of Jharkhand are asking: Was Champai Soren not a tribal? Did he not come from a poor family? Yet, the way he was humiliated and removed just to seize the Chief Minister's chair hurt every poor tribal in Jharkhand. Even Sita Soren, who is from their own family, was insulted and sidelined despite being a woman."

Coming down heavily on the JMM-Congress, PM Modi noted, "The most dishonest and corrupt party in this country is the Congress party. And the most corrupt family in the country is the Congress family where all streams of corruption originate. The JMM is trained in the same place—the Congress School of Corruption. In five years, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has done only one thing—loot and corruption in Jharkhand. The JMM government has brought corruption to everything—Jal, Jungle aur Jameen."

The PM also highlighted the rampant corruption, he said, “On one hand, the poor and the middle class living in the cities here sweat over every single rupee. On the other hand, hundreds of crores in cash are recovered from the residences of this government’s ministers and MPs, and from their servants' hideouts. There are scams worth thousands of crores. Remember how mountains of cash were found in Jharkhand? That was your money."

Furthermore, PM Modi stated that the opposition had promised to conduct JPSC and JSSC exams every year. However, rather than fulfilling this promise, job-selling gangs have prospered under government protection, and those involved in paper leaks are being shielded. “Congress promised to give ₹1 lakh each to youths and women. However, when women went to Congress offices to claim this money, they were met with humiliation. Wherever Congress governments are in power, such deceitful promises and falsehoods are prevalent,” he added.

Concluding his speech, the PM said, “I am confident that the people of Jharkhand will vote for the state's development. You will once again shower your blessings on the BJP."
