PM Modi addresses Public Meeting at Rudrapur, Uttarakhand

Be it connectivity, tourism or industrial development, today Uttarakhand is scripting a new chapter in every field: PM Modi
Those doubting the capability of our forces in combating terror must answer the people: PM Modi in Rudrapur
Our defence procurements were marred for years by systematic delays and lack of transparency because of ‘Congress Culture’ of corruption: PM Modi

Sounding the poll bugle in Uttarakhand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a major rally in Rudrapur in his second rally for the day after a similar address in Meerut earlier today.

Severly criticizing the ‘Congress Culture’ that significantly hindered the progress of Uttarakhand and the country at large with its numerous scams and corrupt activities, PM Modi contrasted this with the current strides of progress taking place in the state under the BJP government, both at the state and the Centre and said, “It is only under the BJP that the state is witnessing rapid strides in all-round development. Be it connectivity, tourism or industrial development, today Uttarakhand is scripting a new chapter in every field.”

PM Modi also came down heavily on those that questioned the valour and counter-terror abilities of the Indian armed forces, saying, “Those doubting the capability of our forces in combating terror must answer the people. Are we a country that can even tolerate abuses hurled at its Chief of Armed Forces? Shouldn’t we expect accountability from such people for such statements? From this holy land of Uttarakhand, I want to warn India’s enemies and our opponents that we are not scared of anyone, come what may. Being fearful and suspicious is the culture of the Congress and its allies.”

Prime Minister Modi then described the way in which decades of Congress rule had compromised India’s defence abilities and national security. He said, “Our defence procurements were marred by systematic delays and lack of transparency because of ‘Congress Culture’ of corruption. Even when the NDA government led by Atal Ji began the process of procuring Rafale aircrafts, the subsequent Congress governments did not complete those procurements for a decade. The same fate came to the issue of OROP, both of which were resolved after the BJP government came to power.”

On the issue of poverty elimination, PM Modi not only attacked the Congress establishment for not doing enough to eliminate poverty from India even after ruling for several decades but also asserted that India’s poor today believed that India will become poverty-free if it becomes ‘Congress-free’ and that Congress party was the root cause of rampant poverty in India.

PM visits Somnath Temple, terms the 75th anniversary of its rebuilding a milestone in Bharat's civilisational journey
May 11, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today visited the Somnath Temple and expressed feeling blessed on the occasion marking 75 years since the rebuilt temple opened its doors for devotees.

The Prime Minister noted his divine experience upon arriving at the holy shrine of Somnath on the 75th anniversary of the rebuilt temple's inauguration. Shri Modi highlighted that seeing the immense energy and enthusiasm of Lord Somnath's devotees along the temple path left him overwhelmed and emotional. He stated that he is reliving the very moment today that India's first President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Ji, must have experienced during the inauguration of the rebuilt temple. He further added that the devotional atmosphere of the Somnath Amrut Mahotsav is infusing an amazing energy all around.

The Prime Minister also observed that one can experience Bhakti in every corner of Somnath. Acknowledging that countless people have come together to mark 75 years since the rebuilt temple opened its doors, Shri Modi emphasised that the historic day was indeed a milestone in the civilisational journey of Bharat.

In a series of posts on X, the Prime Minister wrote:

"Jai Somnath! Feeling blessed to be here, when we are marking 75 years since the rebuilt Temple opened its doors for devotees."

"पुनर्निर्मित सोमनाथ मंदिर के लोकार्पण की 75वीं वर्षगांठ पर पावनधाम सोमनाथ आकर दिव्य अनुभूति हुई है। इस अवसर पर मंदिर मार्ग पर भगवान सोमनाथ के भक्तों के जोश और प्रचंड उत्साह को देखकर मन अभिभूत और भावविभोर है! मैं आज यहां उस क्षण को जी रहा हूं, जिसका अनुभव भारत के प्रथम राष्ट्रपति डॉ. राजेंद्र प्रसाद जी ने पुनर्निर्मित मंदिर के लोकार्पण के अवसर पर किया होगा। सोमनाथ अमृत महोत्सव का भक्तिमय वातावरण हर तरफ अद्भुत ऊर्जा का संचार कर रहा है।" 

"At Somnath, one can experience Bhakti in every corner. Countless people have come together to mark 75 years since the rebuilt Temple opened its doors to devotees. That day was indeed a milestone in the civilisational journey of Bharat."
