Shri Narendra Modi campaigns for BJP in Himachal Pradesh, addresses a large gathering in Mandi 

Shri Modi makes a strong pitch among people to vote for BJP, promises as much development in HP as in Gujarat if BJP is reelected 

Would have been happy if Dr. ‘Maunmohan’ Singh would have spoken about the poor: Shri Modi 

Vote for Lotus to prevent sins of Delhi from corrupting this Dev Bhoomi that is Himachal Pradesh. Like Himachal, Gujarat is also in the midst of uprooting Congress Party: Shri Modi 

Do wrong, cheat the people and get promoted is the way of the Congress: Shri Modi 

Congress has taken to character assassination and misuse of CBI: Shri Modi

 

Delivering a hard hitting speech on Monday 29th October 2012 Shri Narendra Modi launched a massive attack on the UPA on various issues ranging form price rise, misusing the CBI to rewarding those Ministers who are non performers or face serious allegations. Shri Modi was speaking at a large public meeting in Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, which is going to the polls in the beginning of November. Large number of people gathered at the occasion and vehemently cheered the arrival of Shri Modi at the venue.

He made a strong appeal to the people to vote for BJP and Shri Prem Kumar Dhumal in the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections. Shri Modi promised as much development in Himachal Pradesh as in Gujarat if the people elect the BJP again.

Himachal is a 2nd home after Gujarat! 

Shri Modi recalled his old relation with Himachal Pradesh and stated that he has worked here for the party years ago. He called Himachal his 2nd home after Gujarat and added that he would have loved to visit the state more in this poll season had it not been for elections in Gujarat.

CM speaks on importance of political stability

Shri Modi reminded the people that like in Himachal Pradesh, the people of Gujarat are in the midst of uprooting the Congress from the state. He said that the people of Gujarat have elected the BJP for years that has given political stability and enhanced the development process in the state.

He affirmed that if there is a message from Gujarat, it is that the people should not change Governments frequently and urged people to vote BJP into power again in Himachal Pradesh.

Shri Modi calls Prime Minister Dr. ‘Maunmohan’ Singh, says would be good if he thought about the poor

Taking a dig at the Prime Minister and his silence on issues, Shri Modi called him Dr. ‘Maunmohan’ Singh and stated that both he and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi visited Himachal Pradesh and spoke about a few things but it would have been good if they had shown some concern for the poor, who are reeling under price rise.

He said that the Prime Minister should have spoken about his promise to bring prices down but the Congress is arrogant and does not care about the people of this country. Shri Modi highlighted the insensitivity of the Congress- led UPA in reducing the LPG cap, which would adversely affect a cold state like Himachal Pradesh.

Shri Modi launched a strong attack on the Centre for creating impediments in Gujarat’s initiative to provide piped gas to the people. He further said that he has taken the fight to the Supreme Court, where he is confident that he shall emerge victorious.

If you do wrong or cheat the people, you are promoted in the Congress!

Shri Modi declared that in the Congress Party members and ministers are promoted for doing wrong or cheating the people. He gave the example of incumbent Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, who was promoted despite presiding over a monumental power crisis where 19 states and 70 crore people were plunged into darkness under his ministerial stint. Shri Modi said he should have been removed but was promoted as Home Minister! He expressed sorrow in the fact that the international media wrote about how cuts of this magnitude happen in India in the second decade of the 21st century and shared that the same media noted that in this darkness, it was Gujarat that was shining with electricity!

Referring to Salman Khurshid, Shri Modi pointed out that he faces serious allegations but he has been promoted to the External Affairs Ministry.

About Shashi Tharoor, Shri Modi said that the same person who on the floor of Parliament said he has nothing to do with the woman in whose account Rs. 50 crore was deposited not only married her but also has made a comeback to the Ministry!

Speaking about Himachal Pradesh’s own Virbhadra Singh, Shri Modi spoke about his corruption and expressed surprise that on one hand he was asked to quit but on the other hand he was given the crucial responsibility of the Himachal Pradesh elections on behalf of the Congress Party.

Congress has taken to character assassination, and misuses CBI!

The Chief Minister said that India has a federal structure but the Congress has shown little regard for it, stalling development in BJP ruled states. He recalled how the Congress left no stone unturned to dislodge any opposition Government that came up in the first 20 years when their dominance over the country’s politics was complete at every level. He accused the Congress of misusing Article 356.

He went on to say that the same Congress that misuses Article 356 now misusing Central Agencies and indulging in character assassination. Shri Modi pointed out that the Congress is only putting up candidates in Gujarat while it is the CBI that is fighting the elections in Gujarat.

On Mrs. Sonia Gandhi’s claims that UPA gave Rs. 10,000 crore to Himachal Pradesh Shri Modi affirmed that this money is not her own money but belongs to the people! He added that he was happy when Dr. ‘Maunmohan’ Singh said there is development in Himachal Pradesh but he sadly added the rider that it was due to Central funds!

Dhumal ji is an old friend, I have seen development here, come out in large numbers and vote for BJP! 

Continuing his strong pitch for seeking votes for the BJP in Himachal Pradesh Shri Modi said that Shri Dhumal is an old friend and there has been development in the state. He urged people to vote in large numbers and vote for the BJP.

He affirmed that the people should vote for the Lotus to ensure that the sins of Delhi cannot entire Dev Bhoomi Himachal Pradesh.

Shri Modi was presented with a Gada at the start of the public meeting.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries in Delhi, earlier today. The three-day Conference was held in Pusa, Delhi from 26 to 28 December, 2025.

Prime Minister observed that this conference marks another decisive step in strengthening the spirit of cooperative federalism and deepening Centre-State partnership to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised that Human Capital comprising knowledge, skills, health and capabilities is the fundamental driver of economic growth and social progress and must be developed through a coordinated Whole-of-Government approach.

The Conference included discussions around the overarching theme of ‘Human Capital for Viksit Bharat’. Highlighting India's demographic advantage, the Prime Minister stated that nearly 70 percent of the population is in the working-age group, creating a unique historical opportunity which, when combined with economic progress, can significantly accelerate India's journey towards Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister said that India has boarded the “Reform Express”, driven primarily by the strength of its young population, and empowering this demographic remains the government’s key priority. Prime Minister noted that the Conference is being held at a time when the country is witnessing next-generation reforms and moving steadily towards becoming a major global economic power.

He further observed that Viksit Bharat is synonymous with quality and excellence and urged all stakeholders to move beyond average outcomes. Emphasising quality in governance, service delivery and manufacturing, the Prime Minister stated that the label "Made in India' must become a symbol of excellence and global competitiveness.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to strengthen Aatmanirbharta, stating that India must pursue self-reliance with zero defect in products and minimal environmental impact, making the label 'Made in India' synonymous with quality and strengthen our commitment to 'Zero Effect, Zero Defect.’ He urged the Centre and States to jointly identify 100 products for domestic manufacturing to reduce import dependence and strengthen economic resilience in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to map skill demand at the State and global levels to better design skill development strategies. In higher education too, he suggested that there is a need for academia and industry to work together to create high quality talent.

For livelihoods of youth, Prime Minister observed that tourism can play a huge role. He highlighted that India has a rich heritage and history with a potential to be among the top global tourist destinations. He urged the States to prepare a roadmap for creating at least one global level tourist destination and nourishing an entire tourist ecosystem.

PM Modi said that it is important to align the Indian national sports calendar with the global sports calendar. India is working to host the 2036 Olympics. India needs to prepare infrastructure and sports ecosystem at par with global standards. He observed that young kids should be identified, nurtured and trained to compete at that time. He urged the States that the next 10 years must be invested in them, only then will India get desired results in such sports events. Organising and promoting sports events and tournaments at local and district level and keeping data of players will create a vibrant sports environment.

PM Modi said that soon India would be launching the National Manufacturing Mission (NMM). Every State must give this top priority and create infrastructure to attract global companies. He further said that it included Ease of Doing Business, especially with respect to land, utilities and social infrastructure. He also called upon states to encourage manufacturing, boost ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and strengthen the services sector. In the services sector, PM Modi said that there should be greater emphasis on other areas like Healthcare, education, transport, tourism, professional services, AI, etc. to make India a Global Services Giant.

Prime Minister also emphasized that as India aspires to be the food basket of the world, we need to shift to high value agriculture, dairy, fisheries, with a focus on exports. He pointed out that the PM Dhan Dhanya Scheme has identified 100 districts with lower productivity. Similarly, in learning outcomes States must identify the lowest 100 districts and must work on addressing the issues around the low indicators.

PM also urged the States to use Gyan Bharatam Mission for digitization of manuscripts. He said that States may start a Abhiyan to digitize such manuscripts available in States. Once these manuscripts are digitized, Al can be used for synthesizing the wisdom and knowledge available.

Prime Minister noted that the Conference reflects India’s tradition of collective thinking and constructive policy dialogue, and that the Chief Secretaries Conference, institutionalised by the Government of India, has become an effective platform for collective deliberation.

Prime Minister emphasised that States should work in tandem with the discussions and decisions emerging from both the Chief Secretaries and the DGPs Conferences to strengthen governance and implementation.

Prime Minister suggested that similar conferences could be replicated at the departmental level to promote a national perspective among officers and improve governance outcomes in pursuit of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister also said that all States and UTs must prepare capacity building plan along with the Capacity Building Commission. He said that use of Al in governance and awareness on cyber security is need of the hour. States and Centre have to put emphasis on cyber security for the security of every citizen.

Prime Minister said that the technology can provide secure and stable solutions through our entire life cycle. There is a need to utilise technology to bring about quality in governance.

In the conclusion, Prime Minister said that every State must create 10-year actionable plans based on the discussions of this Conference with 1, 2, 5 and 10 year target timelines wherein technology can be utilised for regular monitoring.

The three-day Conference emphasised on special themes which included Early Childhood Education; Schooling; Skilling; Higher Education; and Sports and Extracurricular Activities recognising their role in building a resilient, inclusive and future-ready workforce.
