Extremely warm response to Vivekananda Yuva Vikas Yatra in Dharampur, Valsad district.

We are going on the path of development, Congress is taking the path of lies: Shri Modi

Thank the people of Dharampur for their warm reception. Spent a lot of time here in my youth: Shri Modi

Atmosphere in the entire nation is that of worry. People asking what will happen, where is our country heading: Shri Modi

Congress slapping Gujarat everyday but when we go to the people with these instances panic strikes them: Shri Modi

Shri Modi speaks about measures taken by Gujarat Government for development of Adivasi community

The Vivekananda Yuva Vikas Yatra reached Dharampur in Valsad district on 13th September 2012. In a powerful speech, Shri Modi spoke about the various development initiatives Gujarat has taken for Tribal communities and came down heavily on the Congress politics of spreading lies and negativity. He said that while the Gujarat Government is going on the path of development, the Congress is embracing path of lies.

Shri Modi thanked the people of Dharampur for the warm reception accorded to him as well as the Yatra and recalled that he shares an old relation with Dharampur in his younger days. He added he stayed in Ashrams in Dharampur and has eaten in the houses of many people of this wonderful town.

The Chief Minister said that today the atmosphere is the entire country is that of worry and people are asking what will happen, where is the country heading. He stated that for the first time since Independence the country is leaderless and directionless and in such an atmosphere, Gujarat is the land from where good news is coming every day!

Shri Modi expressed shock at the appalling levels of corruption under the UPA rule including the latest Rs. 2 lac crore coal scam. Speaking on the series of advertisements of the Congress to change Gujarat’s Disha (direction), Shri Modi asked whether the people of Gujarat want to be looted, if there want a return of a culture of communalism, dynasty politics, curfews, corruption among other things to which the crowd unanimously roared “NO!” He added that such Disha of the Congress does not suit Gujarat and instead asked the Congress to adopt Gujarat’s Disha to change the Dasha of the Country.

The Chief Minister said the Centre has been slapping Gujarat everyday but when it is conveyed to the people in the form of advertisements panic strikes among the Congress. He asked them to withdraw instances of injustice to Gujarat and the Thappad would automatically go away.

In his speech Shri Modi listed some of the efforts of the Gujarat Government towards the development of Tribal communities. He said that the Garib Kalyan Melas have given benefits worth crores to the people.

Shri Modi shared that when the Government brought the Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana, the Congress was crying foul and making baseless arguments. But, instead of the Rs. 15,000 crore promised, the Government spent Rs. 18,000 crore and today the package has now increased to Rs. 40,000 crore due to which there have been smiles of lakhs of members of Tribal community.

 

The Chief Minister affirmed that every family wants their child to do well become doctors and engineers but while the Congress played politics of reservations, it did nothing for primary education especially in Tribal areas. Shri Modi declared that in the last decade the Government has created primary education infrastructure for Tribal communities, opened engineering colleges and will be opening medical colleges as well. He remarked that had the Congress done the same 40 years ago, things would be different.

Shri Modi also spoke on the importance of skill development and the relief measures announced by the Gujarat Government for the farmers.

PM Modi’s remarks during the BRICS session: Peace and Security
July 06, 2025

Friends,

Global peace and security are not just ideals, rather they are the foundation of our shared interests and future. Progress of humanity is possible only in a peaceful and secure environment. BRICS has a very important role in fulfilling this objective. It is time for us to come together, unite our efforts, and collectively address the challenges we all face. We must move forward together.

Friends,

Terrorism is the most serious challenge facing humanity today. India recently endured a brutal and cowardly terrorist attack. The terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22nd April was a direct assault on the soul, identity, and dignity of India. This attack was not just a blow to India but to the entire humanity. In this hour of grief and sorrow, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the friendly countries who stood with us and expressed support and condolences.

Condemning terrorism must be a matter of principle, and not just of convenience. If our response depends on where or against whom the attack occurred, it shall be a betrayal of humanity itself.

Friends,

There must be no hesitation in imposing sanctions on terrorists. The victims and supporters of terrorism cannot be treated equally. For the sake of personal or political gain, giving silent consent to terrorism or supporting terrorists or terrorism, should never be acceptable under any circumstances. There should be no difference between our words and actions when it comes to terrorism. If we cannot do this, then the question naturally arises whether we are serious about fighting terrorism or not?

Friends,

Today, from West Asia to Europe, the whole world is surrounded by disputes and tensions. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is a cause of grave concern. India firmly believes that no matter how difficult the circumstances, the path of peace is the only option for the good of humanity.

India is the land of Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi. We have no place for war and violence. India supports every effort that takes the world away from division and conflict and leads us towards dialogue, cooperation, and coordination; and increases solidarity and trust. In this direction, we are committed to cooperation and partnership with all friendly countries. Thank you.

Friends,

In conclusion, I warmly invite all of you to India next year for the BRICS Summit, which will be held under India’s chairmanship.

Thank you very much.
