Only a strong government can ensure a nation’s security, which in turn is essential for its long-term development: PM Modi
The BJP-led NDA governments have always demonstrated their paramount commitments to strengthening national security: PM Modi in U.P.
The entire nation suffered greatly under ‘Mahamilawati’ governments of Congress-SP-BSP but still they say ‘Hua Toh Hua’: Prime Minister Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two major election rallies in Robertsganj and Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh today. At the rallies PM Modi spoke about the importance of having a strong and responsive government to ensure the security and development of a nation and said that every vote in favour of the BJP will result in the formation of such a government again post-elections.

PM Modi congratulated the efforts of all the scientists and leaders involved in the successful testing of India’s nuclear missiles 21 years ago under the able leadership of former NDA PM Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He added, “Strong and bold decisions on national security such as nuclear testing or Operation Shakti can only be conducted by a government that treats the nation’s security as its priority. The BJP-led NDA governments have always demonstrated their paramount commitments to strengthening national security as a top priority which has greatly benefitted the people of our country as well as enhanced our reputation as a strong nation globally.”

Tearing apart the Congress and its ‘Mahamilawat’ allies for neglecting India’s development with their poor governance and endemic corruption, Prime Minister Modi said, “The people of Uttar Pradesh vividly remember how weak and opportunist governments formed by Congress-SP-BSP ruined the state’s potential, its economy and law and order with their rampant corruption, divisive politics of votebank appeasement and promoting nepotism and dynastic politics for ten years in to the 21st century. However, these parties have no qualms about their misdeeds; rather than accepting their mistakes, they say ‘Hua Toh Hua’ (What’s happened has happened). Such justifying statements of the Congress and its Bua-Babua allies shows the utter contempt they have for the welfare of the people of U.P. Their prime agenda in this election is not discussing about issues like national security or development, it is about abusing Modi and grabbing power by any means possible.”

Concluding his wide-ranging address to the overwhelming crowd, PM Modi described how since coming to power in 2014 and 2017 respectively, BJP governments at Centre and U.P have achieved significant milestones in improving the lives of ordinary people through schemes like Ayushman Bharat, Ujjwala Yojana and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. He assured his supporters that with the continued support of UP, the BJP governments will take the state to newer heights of development and prosperity to make the dream of a ‘New India’ come true for every Indian.

Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of around ₹30,000 crore
PM also reviews Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0
PM says Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues amicably
PM asks States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants
PM calls for mission-mode rooftop solar coverage in urban areas
Acting upon the advice of PM, system of monthly review of social sector schemes at State level operationalised, starting with review of Swachh Bharat Mission

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 51st 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, at Seva Teerth, earlier today.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors covering nine States worth around ₹30,000 crore. These projects, pivotal to economic growth and public welfare, were reviewed with a focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, and timely issue resolution. Prime Minister also reviewed Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0.

While reviewing power sector projects, Prime Minister emphasized the need to accelerate rooftop solar adoption across urban areas, with a special focus on cities, residential clusters and public institutions. He underlined that rooftop solar should be taken up in mission mode to reduce electricity costs, improve energy security and promote clean energy at the household and community level.

While reviewing road and port connectivity projects, it was emphasised that Vadhavan Port should be developed as a model of port-led, multi-modal development, where every major mode of transport is seamlessly integrated to create a future-ready logistics ecosystem. The project should not be seen merely as a port, but as a national gateway connected through coastal shipping, inland waterways, dedicated freight corridors, high-speed rail connectivity, highways and airport linkages.

Prime Minister emphasised the need for effective implementation of Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 and underlined that the mission should move beyond infrastructure creation and ensure measurable outcomes through regular monitoring, citizen participation and convergence between various stakeholders. He asked States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants.

While reviewing Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project, Prime Minister observed that Ken-Betwa project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues through cooperation, timely clearances, technology-based monitoring and mission-mode execution. States were encouraged to identify similar opportunities where river-linking, water conservation, groundwater recharge and efficient irrigation can be taken up in an integrated manner to ensure long-term water security.

Prime Minister also underlined that the delay in the implementation of public projects leads not only to cost escalation but also deprives citizens of timely access to essential facilities and development benefits. He observed that every delay has a direct impact on people’s lives, regional growth and public resources. He stressed that Ministries, Departments and States must adopt a more proactive and time-bound approach to resolve pending issues, remove bottlenecks and ensure faster execution.

Prime Minister also emphasized that innovative use of canal networks should be explored, including installation of solar panels along canals and over canals for clean electricity generation. This would help optimize land use, reduce evaporation losses, generate renewable energy and create additional economic value from water infrastructure.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Cabinet Secretary informed that, in pursuance of the directions of the Prime Minister, a system of monthly review of social sector schemes at the State level has also been operationalised. This mechanism aims to ensure regular monitoring, faster resolution of implementation issues and greater accountability at the State and district levels. As part of this initiative, Swachh Bharat Mission has been taken up for review at the State level in the first instance.
