The Congress Party has only indulged in falsity and fake guarantees and does not care about the genuine concerns of the people of Rajasthan: PM Modi
We have prioritized women empowerment and consider them equal participants in Jan Bhagidari: PM Modi
Even during the inauguration of the New Parliament Building, the Congress-led opposition forces disregarded the efforts of the 60,000 Shramiks associated with its construction: PM Modi
Congress’s model of governance is based on 85 percent commission, depriving the welfare of the poor: PM Modi
Before 2014, India was governed by a Superpower and a remote-controlled Government: PM Modi


Addressing a massive rally in Ajmer, PM Modi remembered the greats of Rajasthan who have nurtured the great land. PM Modi acknowledged the contributions of Prithiviraj Chauhan’s valour, Mirabai’s devotion and Pathik Singhji’s courage. He also paid tributes to Ahilyabai Holkar on her anniversary who championed the cause of women empowerment guiding India towards freedom.


Speaking in the event, PM Modi credited the state BJP unit in Rajasthan who have done exceedingly well in preserving the life and tradition of Late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat Ji to whom PM Modi also offered his tribute. PM Modi said, “He got the opportunity to visit Pushkar and offer prayers to Brahmaji, who is credited with the creation of this world. “It is his blessings with which BJP-led Government has been able to complete its 9 years fruitfully serving people wholeheartedly,” he added.


Before 2014, there was a superpower over the PM, the Congress Party which was a remote-controlled Government: PM Modi

PM Modi said, “These nine years have been dedicated towards good governance and welfare of poor. The governance has been directed towards ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. The previous regime can be characterized as ridden by corruption, cities being constantly attacked upon by terrorists, unsafe conditions for women, lack of basic amenities for the poor among others.” He added that the Congress-led UPA government's Prime Minister was controlled by a superpower, the Congress Party which was a remote- controlled Government creating unstable and inefficient policies only pandering votes for appeasement.


Elaborating on the situation in the country before 2014, PM Modi said, “It was your vote that changed this system of maladministration and converted it to Good Governance. Today, India has gained a position of prominence and has achieved tremendous exports. The Congress-led misrule has also fooled the people of this country on Garibi Hatao”. One big example of Congress led misrule is the universal vaccination programme for the women and children, he added further.


PM Modi remarked, “We all have seen our mothers cook food using wood as a fuel, and the Congress government only showed apathy towards women. In 2014 there were only 14 crores gas connections showcasing how an entire generation was deprived of gas connections in the country.” To this PM Modi added, “A situation like this was simply unacceptable to me and that over the past nine years we have distributed over 19 crore gas connections to the people of this country and have subsequently improved the lives of the womenfolk in this country.”


Highlighting how the BJP-led NDA Government has addressed drinking water issue, PM Modi stated, “BJP Government has provided the state with 9 crore water connection in 3 years.”


Mentioning about the ‘One Rank, One Pension’ scheme, the Prime Minister said,” The very soldiers who protect our country against dangers were denied pension under the ‘One Rank One Pension’. The Congress only allocated Rs. 500 crores for this while we resolved the issues by allocating Rs. 18,000 crores for the same. We also cleared the arrears.”


Stating that the BJP has supported the small and marginal farmers, PM Modi said, “The BJP Government has increased the budget allocated towards Agriculture by six times.” PM Modi cited the various farmer-friendly initiatives like hike in MSP, farmers’ access to markets under E-NAM, PM Fasal Bima Yojana neem coating of urea, Soil Health Cards and PM-KISAN.


Taking a jibe at the Congress for rampant corruption, PM Modi said, “Today, people are witnessing development at unprecedented levels. For this it is important that the funds meant for development are used in its entirety. Quoting Former PM Rajiv Gandhi Ji said that for every 10 paise released for development, every 85 paise is taken as commission. This showcases the corrupt nature of the Congress Party and its motto of 85 percent commission.”


On the contrary, he said, the BJP Government has spent over Rs. 24 lakh crores on infrastructure creation off which had the Congress party been power would have siphoned off Rs. 20 lakh crores.


Speaking about the inauguration of the new Parliament building, PM Modi said that the people of India at all times have shown great grit and persistence and this was very much visible during the COVID pandemic. He appreciated the ability of the people that has enabled India attain a position of prominence globally. “However, even during the inauguration of the New Parliament Building, the Congress-led opposition forces were continuously demeaning our sense of pride, they disregarded the efforts of the 60,000 Shramiks associated with its construction,” he added.


Stating that the Congress Government only promoted appeasement, misgovernance and encouragement to crimes in the state, making it unsafe for women, PM Modi shed light on the various measures undertaken by the BJP-led NDA Government for the welfare of citizens, particularly women. “Our Government has prioritized women and children by providing them nutritious food, institutional delivery mechanism, school education and job opportunities among others. We have also made a policy change and ensured that our daughters can study in Sainik Schools and can also attain officer positions in India’s Defence Forces. Around 9 crore Self-Help Groups have been created in Rajasthan who are able to promote their livelihood opportunities. We have provided them equal opportunity in Jan Bhagidari,” he remarked.


Elaborating that the Congress Party lacked any agenda for development of Rajasthan, PM Modi mentioned, “The Congress Party has only indulged in falsity and fake guarantees and does not care about the genuine concerns of the people of Rajasthan and hence for this very purpose it is important that the people of Rajasthan are vigilant and do not fall prey to these false traps set by the Congress Party.”


Concluding his remarks, PM Modi said, “The coming seven years are going to be crucial in ushering the process of development of our country across sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, education, tourism among others and for this very purpose the support and blessings of Rajasthan as a state are extremely important and imminent.”
