People are now calling the DMK a CMC government, one that promotes corruption, mafia, and crime: PM Modi’s sharp jibe at opposition
DMK is the biggest enemy of Tamil Nadu’s culture: PM Modi
One vote for NDA will free Tamil Nadu from drug mafias: PM Modi’s guarantee
The BJP NDA government will work to ensure that the produce of Tamil Nadu’s farmers and fishermen reaches global markets: PM Modi

PM Modi addressed a public rally in Madhuranthakam, Tamil Nadu, where he said the people of the state had given the DMK a clear mandate twice, but the party betrayed the trust of the people. He added DMK made many promises but delivered zero results, adding that people are now calling it a CMC government, one that promotes corruption, mafia, and crime.

PM Modi said Tamil Nadu is currently being run by a government that has no regard for democracy or accountability. He alleged that DMK is only focused on serving one family, and that anyone seeking growth in the party must follow one of a few routes: the dynasty route, the corruption route, abusing women, or abusing Tamil culture.

Highlighting the strength of Tamil Nadu’s farmers and fishermen, the PM said the BJP-NDA government policies have led to record production in agriculture and fisheries across the country. He said the NDA government supports farmers and fishermen at every step.

PM Modi said that earlier, many farmers did not even have bank accounts, but the NDA government ensured financial inclusion and launched schemes like PM Kisan Samman Nidhi.

Referring to the PM Matsya Sampada Yojana, he said the NDA government is providing deep-sea fishing vessels to fishermen and has issued Kisan Credit Cards to support their livelihoods. He added that the government is linking small farmers and fishermen with cooperatives and is strongly promoting FPOs. He repeated that the BJP NDA government will work to ensure that the produce of Tamil Nadu’s farmers and fishermen reaches global markets.

PM Modi warned that the entire state is aware of the reality of DMK, noting allegations against DMK leaders of links with drug mafias. He said this poses a serious threat to the future of Tamil Nadu and added that there is widespread anger over the liquor scam, especially among mothers and sisters. He stressed that the youth must be protected from the grip of drugs and said one vote for NDA will free Tamil Nadu from the drug mafias. He assured that while drug and liquor mafias flourished under the DMK government, the NDA’s priority is public health. He promised that the BJP NDA would transform Tamil Nadu’s healthcare system.

PM Modi said the NDA does not just talk about Tamil culture but works with commitment to protect it. Referring to the recent controversy over the sacred lamp of Lord Murugan, he said BJP leaders stood up for the rights of devotees, while DMK and its allies went to court to appease their vote bank. He established that DMK is the biggest enemy of Tamil Nadu’s culture.

He recalled that Congress and DMK had insulted the people of Tamil Nadu by banning Jallikattu, and said it was the NDA government that found a legal way to restore the tradition and honour the state’s heritage.

Concluding his address, PM Modi reaffirmed that with a BJP NDA double-engine government and ‘Modi ki Guarantee’, Tamil Nadu will move towards development, dignity, and a secure future.

Seven years of the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35(A)
August 05, 2026

Today the nation marks seven years since the historic abrogation of Articles 370 and 35(A) on 5th August 2019. Prime Minister Modi described it as a defining milestone in India's journey towards inclusive development.

Shri Modi noted that over the past seven years, the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have witnessed wide-ranging transformation across sectors. Infrastructure has expanded significantly, while new opportunities have emerged in education, healthcare, entrepreneurship and sports. "The women and members of marginalised communities, who had been deprived of several constitutional rights for decades, have now been empowered through the full application of the Constitution of India", Shri Modi added.

The Prime Minister observed that this year's anniversary assumes even greater significance as the nation commemorates the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee. He said that Dr. Mookerjee's lifelong commitment to national unity continues to inspire generations, and that the vision he championed found historic fulfilment on 5th August 2019.

Reaffirming the Government's unwavering commitment to the development of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the Prime Minister said that every citizen must have the opportunity to dream big, realise their aspirations and contribute to the vision of a Viksit Bharat.

The Prime Minister posted on X:

Seven years ago, on this day, Articles 370 and 35(A) became history, marking a decisive new chapter in the journey of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh.

Since then, the lives of the people of J&K and Ladakh have witnessed wide-ranging transformation. Infrastructure has expanded, opportunities in areas such as education, healthcare, entrepreneurship and sports have grown. Be it the women or the marginalised communities, those who were denied their basic constitutional rights for decades have been empowered thanks to the full application of the Constitution of India.

5th August this year assumes even greater significance as this is the year our nation commemorates the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee. His lifelong commitment to national unity continues to inspire generations. What he envisioned decades ago found historic fulfilment on 5th August 2019.

We reaffirm our commitment to the progress of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh and to ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to dream big, achieve and contribute to the making of a Viksit Bharat.
