BJP's only agenda is development, Congress involved in divisive tactics: PM Modi
Congress has been rejected comprehensively across the nation. Gujarat too will reject the Congress and will punish the Congress for their mis-governance: PM
This nation is my everything. Every moment of my time is devoted to India and 125 crore Indians: PM Modi
In every part of the nation, the Congress has misled the Muslim community and made fake promises of reservations for Muslims but in no state they fulfilled their promise: PM

PM Modi today lashed out at the Congress party for seeking votes in the name of caste. He slated them for divisive politics. He highlighted that the BJP's agenda was only development and urged people to elect a stable BJP government devoted to serve the people in Gujarat.

Campaigning in Lunavada, PM Modi launched attack on the Congress party for caste politics and divisive tactics. The PM said, “The BJP is asking for votes in these elections on our development agenda. Sadly, the Congress is asking for votes in the name of caste politics, divisive tactics.”

Adding further the PM remarked, “Congress has been rejected comprehensively across the nation. Gujarat too will reject the Congress and will punish the Congress for their politics.”

He mentioned how the Congress was completely wiped off in the recent civic body elections in Uttar Pradesh.

Attacking the Congress he further remarked about Salman Nizami’s derogatory tweet. He said, “There is a youth Congress leader Salman Nizami, he is even campaigning for Congress in Gujarat. He wrote on Twitter about Rahul Ji's father, grandmother. That is ok but he asks - Modi tell me who is your Mother, who is your father. Such language can't even be used for enemies.”

PM Modi also slammed Salman Nizami for his pro-Pakistan slogans. The PM said, “Salman Nizami asks on Twitter- Modi who is your father, who is your mother. Among the other things he says- he calls for Azad Kashmir. He calls our army rapists. How can the people accept such people like Salman Nizami. He also says there will be an Afzal from every home!”

The PM cautioned the Congress and said, “I want to tell all Congress leaders who are abusing me, mocking my poor family, asking who my parents are- this nation is my everything. Every moment of my time is devoted to India and 125 crore Indians.”

The PM alleged that in every part of the nation, the Congress had misled the Muslim community and made fake promises of reservations for Muslims but in no state they fulfilled their promise.

In Bodeli, the PM said, “Congress leaders are unable to understand and identify with the aspirations of the tribal communities and the farmers.”

The Prime Minister said that the BJP's vision for development was about scale and service delivery while Congress leaders fought polls on providing hand pumps.

The PM spoke at length about Government initiatives being undertaken for well being of people. He said that without development there was no other solution to the problems India faced. He highlighted how Mudra Yojana was empowering and strengthening the weaker sections across the country.

August 25, 2026

Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of more than ₹30,000 crore
PM says Infrastructure projects should be viewed as an integrated whole, rather than as individual sections or packages
PM calls for continuous reforms across all stages of project implementation and a proactive work culture across Ministries and States
PM says Speed must go hand-in-hand with quality
While reviewing AgriStack, PM emphasises the need to leverage the latest digital technologies including AI to derive greater value from agricultural data
On cyber fraud and ‘digital arrest’, PM stresses training, public awareness, cyber-safety education and coordinated action

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 53rd meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, at Seva Teerth earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed six key infrastructure projects across the Railway, Road and Power sectors, spanning nine States with a cumulative cost of more than ₹30,000 crore. The projects, significant for strengthening connectivity, supporting industrial and economic activity and improving public services, were reviewed with particular emphasis on adherence to timelines, inter-agency coordination, resolution of pending issues and expeditious completion.

Prime Minister emphasised that delays in infrastructure projects have consequences beyond cost escalation, as they also postpone the benefits intended for citizens, businesses and the economy. He said that infrastructure projects should be viewed and monitored as an integrated whole, rather than as isolated sections, stretches or packages. He noted that progress in individual packages should ultimately translate into timely completion and operationalisation of the entire project. Ministries and States were therefore asked to adopt an end-to-end approach, and address critical gaps that could delay the overall commissioning and delivery of benefits. He called for fostering a proactive work culture across Ministries and State Governments, with greater ownership at every level of project implementation.

Prime Minister stressed the need to explore common utility corridors for infrastructure services, wherever feasible, particularly while planning major transport and infrastructure projects. He called upon Ministries and States to examine such integrated approaches at the planning stage itself, keeping in view their technical and economic feasibility.

Prime Minister said that speed of execution must be accompanied by uncompromising quality. He called upon Ministries, States and implementing agencies to adopt modern technologies and strengthen quality assurance and supervision at every stage.

While reviewing AgriStack under the Digital Agriculture Mission, Prime Minister emphasised the need to leverage the latest digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to derive greater value from agricultural data. He stressed that the data ecosystem should be effectively utilised across the agricultural value chain, from input planning to processing, enabling more informed interventions, better targeting and data-driven decision-making. He appreciated the efforts of the States and the Central Government in building the AgriStack ecosystem and called for further strengthening its use for delivering better outcomes for farmers.

During the review of cyber fraud cases, including incidents of digital arrest, Prime Minister said that prevention must be strengthened through a sustained focus on training, awareness and education. He stressed the need for continuous and targeted public-awareness campaigns, particularly for senior citizens, youth and other vulnerable sections, to familiarise them with common fraud techniques, warning signs and safe digital practices. He also called for regular capacity-building of personnel involved so that emerging modes of cyber fraud are identified and acted upon swiftly.
