TMC goons are preventing people to vote: PM Modi in Sreerampur, West Bengal
TMC is 'Daam Daman panthi' - they suppress people through money power and muscle power: PM Modi
Trinamool Congress believes in ‘Bhaag Karo, Shashon Karo’ (divide and rule) philosophy: PM Modi in Barrackpore

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two rallies in West Bengal’s Sreerampur and Barrackpore today. Shri Modi took on the ruling Trinamool Congress for its mis-governance in the state and said that the people of West Bengal were supporting a stable and development oriented Bharatiya Janata Party in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

Highlights from PM Modi’s rally at Sreerampur:

Beginning his speech at Sreerampur, PM Modi cautioned the voters against the ‘Maha Milawat’. Shri Modi said that the Maha Milawat’s only agenda was to remove Modi. “BJP-led NDA wants to eradicate corruption, but Maha Milawat wants to remove Modi...Day in and out they are abusing only Modi and lack any vision for the state’s development.”

Accusing Mamata Banerjee’s TMC of using goons to hinder the voting process, PM Modi said, “Didi is using goons to obstruct free and fair elections in West Bengal. TMC goons are preventing people to vote. But Didi people of West Bengal have made up their minds. They are supporting the BJP.”

Responding to Mamata Banerjee’s remark about sending “sweets” made of mud and pebbles, PM Modi said he would humbly accept them as the sweets will be made of the soil and pebbles of Bengal, where greats like Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, jagadish Chandra Bose, Subhas Chandra Bose and Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee were born.

PM Modi said that there were four types of political parties in India:

1) Naampanthi – Those who believe in dynastic politics and hail their leaders even if they do not deserve
2) Vaampanthi – those who keep on trying to impose a rejected ideology
3) Daam Daman panthi – Those who suppress people through money power and muscle power
4) Vikas panthi – Those who believe in development of the nation and keep people’s interest first.

PM Modi said that the BJP was in ‘Vikas Panthi’ while he termed the TMC to be ‘Daam Daman panthi’. He said, “From permission to admission, people have to shell out money. Those who don’t agree with their ideology, they are punished, hanged... A syndicate is flourishing but the teachers and government employees are not given their due by the state government.”

PM Modi further said that with a handful of seats, Didi was dreaming to reach Delhi. He said, “Didi wants to reach Delhi with handful of seats but the real story is something else... The actual reason is Didi wants to establish her nephew.”

Further speaking at the rally, PM Narendra Modi highlighted welfare measures being undertaken by the BJP-led NDA Government at Centre. He spoke about the rapid completion of connectivity projects that would benefit West Bengal. Highlighting the matter of jute industry, PM Modi spoke how previous and incumbent state governments in West Bengal damaged the sector. “We have initiated revolutionary measures so that the jute industry prospers”, he added.

 

Highlights from PM Modi’s rally at Barrackpore:

At his second rally in Barrackpore today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Maha Milawat was disturbed if he spoke about nationalism. Shri Modi said, “It was a proud moment for me when I had got the opportunity to hoist the Tricolour at Red Fort while marking the 75th anniversary of the Azad Hind Government. It was a proud moment for the country.” Shri Modi also recalled how after so many years of independence, it was for the first time that the veterans of the Azad Hind Fauj took part in the Republic Day parade in New Delhi.

Prime Minister Modi alleged that the ruling Trinamool Congress believed in ‘Bhaag Karo, Shashon Karo’ (divide and rule) philosophy, while the Bharatiya Janata Party believed in the mantra of ‘Ek Karo, Sheba Karo’ (Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, i.e, development for all).

The PM said that the BJP was committed for the stable growth of West Bengal. He shed light on the BJP’s development model and said, “By 2022, we want to ensure a roof over every head. We want to ensure that our farmers prosper. We want to ensure LPG connections to the poor, a toilet in every home, affordable ration. Our focus is on enhancing ease of living.” He also criticised the TMC government for doing sticker job. “The Centre has initiated numerous welfare measures for the poor but the TMC government in West Bengal is labelling them as theirs”, Shri Modi added.

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.

Discussion during the Conference

The discussions during the Conference reflected the spirit of Team India, where the Centre and States came together with a shared commitment to transform ideas into action. The deliberations emphasised the importance of ensuring time-bound implementation of agreed outcomes so that the vision of Viksit Bharat translates into tangible improvements in citizens’ lives. The sessions provided a comprehensive assessment of the current situation, key challenges and possible solutions across priority areas related to human capital development.

The Conference also facilitated focused deliberations over meals on Heritage & Manuscript Preservation and Digitisation; and Ayush for All with emphasis on integrating knowledge in primary healthcare delivery.

The deliberations also emphasised the importance of effective delivery, citizen-centric governance and outcome-oriented implementation to ensure that development initiatives translate into measurable on-ground impact. The discussions highlighted the need to strengthen institutional capacity, improve inter-departmental coordination and adopt data-driven monitoring frameworks to enhance service delivery. Focus was placed on simplifying processes, leveraging technology and ensuring last-mile reach so that benefits of development reach every citizen in a timely, transparent and inclusive manner, in alignment with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

The Conference featured a series of special sessions that enabled focused deliberations on cross-cutting and emerging priorities. These sessions examined policy pathways and best practices on Deregulation in States, Technology in Governance: Opportunities, Risks & Mitigation; AgriStack for Smart Supply Chain & Market Linkages; One State, One World Class Tourist Destination; Aatmanirbhar Bharat & Swadeshi; and Plans for a post-Left Wing Extremism future.
