Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his 2024 election campaign with a spirited public rally in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, paying homage to the sacred land of Guru Ravidas Ji and emphasizing his government's commitment to development and heritage preservation.

“Hoshiarpur is called the small Kashi. This is the sacred land of Guru Ravidas Ji. Ending the election campaign here is nothing short of a blessing,” PM Modi remarked, connecting the spiritual significance of Hoshiarpur with his constituency, Varanasi, which is also the birthplace of Guru Ravidas Ji.

Highlighting the progress India has made under his leadership, PM Modi expressed confidence in the country's future. “Today the country has new aspirations, new hopes, new confidence. After decades, a majority central government is going to score a hat-trick,” he said. Emphasizing the dream of a developed India, he noted, “Every Indian is connected with this dream, and that’s why they are blessing us.”

PM Modi reiterated his commitment to transforming India in the 21st century, citing the unprecedented development of the past decade. “When people from Punjab and other states go abroad, they see for themselves how much respect for India and Indians has increased,” he stated, attributing this respect to the strength of a stable government.

Drawing inspiration from Guru Ravidas Ji’s teachings, PM Modi emphasized his government's focus on the welfare of the poor. “Guru Ravidas Ji used to say, ‘I desire such a rule, where everyone has food.’ In the past 10 years, we have provided free grain and free treatment facilities to the poorest of the poor,” he declared.

Highlighting the impact of his government's welfare schemes, PM Modi noted, “Today, no poor, Dalit, or deprived child has to sleep on an empty stomach. Today, a poor woman does not have to hide her illness out of compulsion. Now she has a ration card and an Ayushman card.”

PM Modi underscored his government's efforts to eliminate caste discrimination and promote social equality. “Guru Ravidas Ji wanted a society without discrimination based on caste. Today, the benefits of the Modi government's schemes are reaching everyone without discrimination,” he said, listing achievements such as providing concrete houses, gas connections, toilets, and electricity connections to all sections of society. He reaffirmed his commitment to the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” which he described as a guiding philosophy for his administration.

PM Modi highlighted his government's initiatives to honor the heritage of Guru Ravidas Ji. “In Madhya Pradesh, I laid the foundation stone of a grand memorial to Guru Ravidas Ji. Facilities are being increased at Guru Ravidas Ji's birthplace in Kashi. Even in Delhi, there is a holy place of Guru Ravidas Ji Maharaj in Tughlakabad,” he announced. He also expressed his desire to name the Adampur airport after Guru Ravidas Ji, promising swift action once the government is formed.

Addressing the challenges faced by his government, PM Modi criticized the self-serving politics of Congress and the INDI alliance. He accused them of indulging in vote bank politics and failing to assert India's rights during the partition. “Their love for the vote bank was such that during the partition, they couldn't assert India's right over our Kartarpur Sahib,” he said.

PM Modi also condemned their opposition to the Ram temple and the CAA, attributing it to their appeasement politics. “These are the same people who strangled the constitution during the Emergency and did not think of the constitution during the 1984 riots,” he asserted.

Criticizing the INDI alliance’s misgovernance, PM Modi recalled the dark hour of Indian history and said, “Nowadays, the country's people hear much about the constitution from the INDI alliance members. These are the same people who strangled the Constitution during the Emergency. When Sikhs were being burned with tires around their necks during the 1984 riots, they did not think of the Constitution.”

“In the 10 years of my government, I have continuously protected the reservation of SC-ST-OBC. Congress and the INDI alliance are furious about my efforts. Their intentions regarding reservation are very dangerous. Their entire track record is about snatching the reservation of SC-ST-OBC,” said PM Modi condemning the INDI alliance and Congress’ appeasement politics.

Taking a sharp dig at Congress and the INDI alliance, PM Modi highlighted, “Congress is the mother of corruption. Congress has done a double Ph.D. in corruption in 60 years. And now another corrupt party has joined Congress. This party is also extremely deceitful. These people came in the name of making Punjab drug-free. But they have made drugs their means of income. The whole world knows about the liquor scam in Delhi. Here, the mining mafia is also running unchecked.”

“These hardcore corrupt people, these extreme deceivers have thrown Punjab into gang wars. These people have ruined both industry and agriculture in Punjab. These hardcore corrupt people, extreme deceivers are also becoming number one in women's oppression. Today the world is seeing their deeds from Delhi to Punjab,” he added.

During his concluding remarks, PM Modi urged the people of Punjab to support BJP candidates in the upcoming elections. “The coming 5 years will be for the rise of the poor, farmers, youth, and women empowerment. I urge you to make the lotus bloom on every seat in Punjab on June 1st,” he appealed.

Tiruchirappalli turns out in huge numbers for PM Modi’s public meeting
March 11, 2026
Tamil Nadu wants change. Tamil Nadu wants NDA: PM Modi
By elevating Madurai Airport to international status, we are bringing the world to the doorstep of Madurai: PM’s announcement
I promise you that under the NDA, the women of Tamil Nadu will live without fear: PM Modi assures at Tiruchirappalli rally
In every situation, our government puts India First. Just as 140 crore Indians showed maturity during the COVID pandemic, I am confident we will navigate every challenge successfully: PM Modi in Tamil Nadu
In DMK rule, everything starts and ends with one family. Ministers may change, MLAs may change, but power remains with a single dynasty: PM Modi’s sharp criticism

At a massive public meeting in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruchirappalli, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed Tiruchirappalli as a land of courage and faith, recalling the bravery of the Marudu Brothers and paying tribute to Major M. Saravanan for his sacrifice during the Kargil War. “Trichy is a land of courage and faith,” he said, adding that the Centre proudly honours Tamil Nadu’s culture and heritage. He also highlighted that C. P. Radhakrishnan, a son of the state, serves as the Vice President of India.

Speaking about his deep connection with the people of Tamil Nadu, PM Modi said that whether through rallies in the state, personal meetings across the country or programmes like the Kashi Tamil Sangamam, he has always made efforts to engage with the Tamil community. “Just like the river Kaveri flows with unstoppable force during Aadi Maasam, the desire for change in Tamil Nadu is also gaining huge momentum,” he said, asserting that people now want a government that works for every family, not just one.


Underlining major investments in Tamil Nadu’s development, PM Modi noted that his recent visits to Trichy and Madurai were linked with the launch of projects worth thousands of crores. He said the projects announced during the current visit alone are worth around ₹5,600 crore and cover sectors such as clean energy, manufacturing, highways, railways and rural roads. These investments, he added, will create thousands of employment opportunities for the youth.


Highlighting improvements in connectivity, the PM spoke about the modern terminal built at Trichy Airport and the decision to grant international status to Madurai Airport. “By elevating Madurai Airport to international status, we are bringing the world to the doorstep of Madurai,” he said. He added that this will boost tourism, pilgrimage and trade, noting that even products like the famous Madurai Malli flowers could now reach global markets within hours.


Launching a sharp attack on the ruling party, PM Modi accused the DMK of betraying the mandate given by the people in 2021. “In DMK rule, everything starts and ends with one family. Ministers may change, MLAs may change, but power remains with a single dynasty,” he said. He further alleged that corruption had become institutionalised, claiming that Tamil Nadu was being treated as an ‘ATM for one family’.

Raising concerns about farmers’ welfare, PM Modi stated the farmers of the Cauvery delta are the backbone of Tamil Nadu’s food security and deserve better infrastructure and fair prices. He accused the state government of failing to deliver on promises, such as building grain warehouses and increasing the MSP for paddy, while also expressing concern about illegal sand mining damaging rivers and the environment.

Highlighting women’s empowerment initiatives, PM Modi said the Union Government’s policies have significantly expanded financial inclusion and economic opportunities for women. He pointed to schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, noting that crores of women have benefited through bank accounts, entrepreneurial loans and home ownership.

The Prime Minister alleged that crimes against women had increased under the current government. “I promise you that under the NDA, the women of Tamil Nadu will live without fear. We will ensure strong law and order where criminals fear the law, not the people,” he said.

Addressing global developments, PM Modi spoke about the ongoing conflict in West Asia and its impact on global energy supply chains. He urged people not to panic and to rely only on verified information. “In every situation, our government puts India First. Just as 140 crore Indians showed maturity during the COVID pandemic, I am confident we will navigate every challenge successfully,” he said.

Concluding with a call for political change, the Prime Minister said the upcoming election presents a clear choice between corruption and dynasty politics on one side, and development and honest governance on the other. “Let your voice from Trichy echo across the state. Tamil Nadu wants change. Tamil Nadu wants NDA,” he said.
