The Congress’ latest scam is ‘Tughlaq Road Chunavi Ghotala’ in which huge amounts of illicit cash has been discovered from senior Congress aides: PM Modi in Gujarat
The Congress totally forgot Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who played a significant role in preserving the Somnath temple and continues to disrespect Patel’s great legacy: PM Modi
Whether it is about providing the poor with access to sanitation, clean cooking fuel and electricity or about making India the sixth largest economy in the world, our government has achieved historic milestones in the last five years: Prime Minister Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two large public rallies in Junagadh and Songadh in Gujarat today.

Lashing out at the Congress for the ‘Tughlaq Road Chunavi Ghotala’ in which huge amounts of illicit cash has been discovered by the Income Tax officers during their recent raids in Madhya Pradesh Congress aides, PM Modi said, “People have seen how huge amounts of cash have been discovered from senior Congress people. This is the latest scam of the Congress-‘Tughlaq Road Chunavi Ghotala.’ This is the money that Congress politicians have diverted from welfare schemes of the poor and are using it to enrich themselves.”

Enlisting the significant milestones achieved by the government since 2014, Prime Minister Modi said that while the country had taken rapid strides in improving the lives of its people, it was noteworthy that this government had achieved all this despite being totally free from corruption, a malice that was endemic in Congress years. He added, “Whether it is about providing the poor with access to sanitation, clean cooking fuel and electricity or about making India the sixth largest economy in the world, our government has achieved historic milestones in the last five years without indulging in any corruption to get our tasks done. This is a historic achievement in its own right.” PM Modi further spoke about the growing popularity of the ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ movement across all sections of society and expressed delight that the citizens were standing besides him and doing their bit for the country, thus imbibing the true spirit of a ‘Chowkidar.’ 

Launching a scathing attack on the Congress for disrespecting great leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Morarji Desai, PM Modi said, “The country knows what the first-family of Congress did to Sardar Patel. The Congress totally forgot Sardar Patel, who played a significant role in preserving the Somnath temple and continues to disrespect Patel’s great legacy. Similarly, Morarji Desai also suffered the same fate when the Congress toppled his government because Morarji Bapu did not bow down to the first-family and was a man of principles. Today, the Congress is extremely shocked because they could not harm the government of this ‘Chowkidar’ (PM Modi) in the last five years.” 

 

Urging his supporters to turn out and vote for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in support of the BJP, Prime Minister Modi asserted that only the stability, transparency and decisiveness of a BJP government can fully address the issues of a developing economy like India while also working tirelessly towards fulfilling the aspirations of the young, 21st century India. He further added that a failure to elect such a government will give a chance to power to opportunist alliances like the ‘Maha-milawat’ and strengthen the voices of those parties that support decisions like having a separate PM for Jammu and Kashmir or weakening the Indian armed forces. He reminded people to not fall prey to the false, unrealistic promises in the Congress ‘Dhakosala-Patr’ because that would lead to a catastrophic downfall for the economy.

PM Modi draws huge crowd at Malda Rally in West Bengal
January 17, 2026
For decades, eastern India was held captive by those who practised divisive politics. The BJP has freed these states from their clutches: PM
In Malda, PM Modi assures the people that a BJP government will take strict action against infiltration and infiltrators
BJP has developed a new model of good governance and development in the country. Today, people across India are embracing it wholeheartedly: PM
PM Modi says with the blessings of Ma Ganga, the river of development will now flow in Bengal as well, and the BJP will make this happen

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a massive public rally in Malda, West Bengal, highlighting the pivotal role of Eastern India in shaping a Viksit Bharat by 2047. He underscored that Eastern India was long shackled by those who thrived on divisive politics, whereas the BJP has freed the region from such constraints.

Touching upon political shifts in the East, PM Modi said, “For the first time, Odisha has formed a BJP government. Tripura has consistently placed its faith in the BJP. Assam too has chosen the BJP in recent elections, and Bihar has recently given a mandate for a BJP–NDA government. With BJP-led good governance surrounding Bengal in all four directions, now it is Bengal’s turn to embrace sushasan.” He added, “Paltano dorkar… chai, BJP shorkar.”

Speaking on development commitments, PM Modi reiterated that the accelerated development of West Bengal is a priority for the BJP-led Central Government. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for multiple rail and infrastructure projects. Bengal also received nearly half a dozen new trains, including India’s first Vande Bharat Sleeper Train, a Made-in-India, high-speed innovation that begins its operations from Bengal with Malda as one of its stations.

PM Modi said, “I am committed with full honesty and dedication to improving the lives of the people of Bengal. Our focus is to ensure housing for the poor, piped water for lakhs of our sisters, and free ration for all eligible beneficiaries. The benefits of Central schemes must reach every citizen.”

Calling out the TMC government, he added, “The TMC is being inhuman and ruthless by depriving the poor of their rights. Funds sent by the Centre for welfare schemes are looted by TMC workers, making them adversaries of Bengal’s poor. They have blocked Ayushman Bharat, which has provided free treatment to millions across the country. A government that denies the poor their healthcare has no right to continue.”

In Malda, he pointed out that the BJP Government at the Centre has launched the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana to provide rooftop solar benefits and reduce household electricity bills to zero. Despite thousands of crores allocated, he said the scheme is obstructed in Bengal, depriving lakhs of households of a transformative opportunity. Also, PM Modi highlighted unemployment-driven migration, neglect of silk farmers, distress among mango farmers, and lack of industrial opportunities.

Referring to corruption and mismanagement by the TMC government, PM Modi said, “The CAG findings on flood relief in Malda expose how genuine victims were denied assistance while TMC-supported individuals received relief transfers multiple times. The PM added, “A BJP government in Bengal will work to restore Malda’s historic glory, expand opportunities for our farmers and youth, and strengthen the mango economy through storage infrastructure and food processing.”

Addressing security concerns, he called infiltration a major threat for Bengal, arguing that infiltrators snatch rights, jobs and security from citizens, disrupt demographic balance and fuel crime and communal tensions. He accused the TMC ecosystem of patronising infiltrators for vote-bank benefits. He assured the people that a BJP government will take strict action against infiltration and infiltrators.

PM Modi urged voters to break this nexus and restore Bengal’s former pride through the power of a single vote. He warned that TMC’s culture of intimidation and violence is nearing its end and that governance rooted in development, dignity and security will prevail.
