BJP Govt has given Hakku Patras to Banjara community and for giving revenue village status to Lambani Thandas. Congress ignored these people for decades: PM Modi Ballari
'The Kerala Story' film sheds light into how terrorism is corroding the society of Kerala. And now, the Congress is supporting those elements who are defending terrorism by trying to ban this film: PM
BJP Karnataka has brought out a manifesto based on Anna, Akshara, Adhaya, Abhaya, Abhivrudhi & Aarogya. It is being appreciated all across: PM Modi in Tumakuru
Congress has become a slave of its vote bank and appeasement politics so much so that it has now an objection on me chanting 'Jai Bajrang Bali': PM Modi
The central government has allocated over Rs 5,300 crore for the Upper Bhadra Project. This is the commitment of double engine sarkar for the people: PM Modi in Tumakuru

Amidst the ongoing election campaigning in Karnataka, PM Modi's rally spree continued as he addressed two mega public meetings today in Ballari and Tumakuru. In his first rally in Ballari, PM Modi said, “BJP's Sankalpa Patra contains a roadmap to make Karnataka the top state in the country but the Congress manifesto consists of numerous false promises and is a collection of appeasement measures.”

PM Modi condemned the Congress of creating false narratives using money and their ecosystem to mislead the public in order to win elections. He also mentioned that Congress has been conducting false surveys and praising themselves in previous elections. However, he noted that the people of Karnataka are supporting BJP, leaving Congress unsure of what lies to tell next. “And now even the Congress has started objecting to my chanting 'Jai Bajrang Bali'. The extent to which the Congress is going for appeasement, this country and the people of Karnataka are watching,” he further added.

Accusing the Congress of nurturing terrorism for the sake of their vote bank, PM Modi claimed that they have lost the courage to speak against it. He said that the society would be destroyed in an atmosphere of terror and warned people to be careful with Congress.

During the public meeting in Ballari, He also discussed the issue of terrorist conspiracies in Kerala and expressed concern over the destruction they can cause to society. He referred to a film called ‘The Kerala Story’ which is based on such conspiracies. PM Modi said, “'The Kerala Story' shows the ugly truth of terrorism and exposes terrorists' design. Congress is opposing the film made on terrorism and standing with terror tendencies. Congress has shielded terrorism for the vote bank.”

Also, PM Modi addressed a serious issue of thousands of Indians being stranded in Sudan due to the civil war, including hundreds from Karnataka and many from the Hakki-Pikki tribal community. “The situation was so severe that even big countries refused to evacuate their citizens from there. The Indian government deployed the entire Air Force and conducted Operation Kaveri with the blessings of Kaveri Amma to bring back Indians from difficult locations,” he said.

Slamming the Congress for doing politics during the time of crisis, PM Modi said, “Congress wanted something bad to happen to Indians in Sudan so they could take advantage of it in the Karnataka elections. It is our government, which rescued the brave Abhinandan from the clutches of Pakistan. It is our government, which brought our nurses trapped in Iraq safely to India. It is our government that brought Father Alex Premkumar, who was kidnapped in Afghanistan, safely to India. It is our government which brought out the stranded Indians during the Yemen crisis.”

Furthermore, PM Modi mentioned that the Indian government has successfully repatriated lakhs of Indians through the Vande Bharat Abhiyan during the COVID-19 pandemic and has also safely brought back thousands of students from Ukraine during the ongoing war. He also stated that the Congress party will face consequences for politicizing crises.

PM Modi lauded the BJP governments of Yediyurappa and Bommai, stating that they have been instrumental in propelling Karnataka towards the development it deserves. He further acknowledged the modern infrastructure developed in the state in recent years, which is contributing to its progress.

Addressing his second public meeting Tumakuru, PM Modi said, “The amount of work that has been done for the village and the poor, for the farmer and the youth in the last nine years, has not been done in the last seven decades. Congress and JD(S) have the track record of exploiting the rights and funds of villages. But, when the BJP is in government, the villages and the poor progress at a faster pace.” The Prime Minister emphasized that his government has focused on strengthening the rural economy to empower the common man and increase their economic power.

PM Modi hailed various development initiatives including PM Awas Yojana, Saubhagya Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, Swamitva Yojana, just to name a few. He also commended the National Education Policy for prioritizing the use of Indian languages like Kannada and incorporating the feedback of thousands of people, including millions of citizens. He said, “Now the Congress has announced that it will stop this National Education Policy. Congress would prevent underprivileged children in Karnataka from pursuing medical or engineering careers in their native language.”

PM Modi said, “The establishment of the largest helicopter factory in Asia in Tumakuru is a testament to the BJP's double engine government. This achievement has put Tumakuru on the world map and was made possible by the government's focus on the Made in India system for the army.”

In a scathing attack on the Congress party, PM Modi iterated, “Congress party has always wanted to keep the country reliant on imports and allowing corruption to flourish in the defense sector.” He criticized the previous Congress government for allegedly taking commissions. “The defense sector has been a club where maternal uncles, uncles and relatives can loot the country together. They have ruined Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), while the current BJP government has helped HAL break earning records. BJP is working to establish modern defense factories in India to strengthen the country's army, in contrast to the Congress' alleged lack of progress in this area,” he added.

Appealing to voters, PM Modi said that their vote will be the one that decides the future of Karnataka and to make the state No.1 in the country. “Everyone is saying today ‘Ee Baria Nirdhara, Bahumatda BJP Sarkara’,” he said. He appealed everyone in the state to make BJP victorious on May 10 in all the polling booths.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries in Delhi, earlier today. The three-day Conference was held in Pusa, Delhi from 26 to 28 December, 2025.

Prime Minister observed that this conference marks another decisive step in strengthening the spirit of cooperative federalism and deepening Centre-State partnership to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised that Human Capital comprising knowledge, skills, health and capabilities is the fundamental driver of economic growth and social progress and must be developed through a coordinated Whole-of-Government approach.

The Conference included discussions around the overarching theme of ‘Human Capital for Viksit Bharat’. Highlighting India's demographic advantage, the Prime Minister stated that nearly 70 percent of the population is in the working-age group, creating a unique historical opportunity which, when combined with economic progress, can significantly accelerate India's journey towards Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister said that India has boarded the “Reform Express”, driven primarily by the strength of its young population, and empowering this demographic remains the government’s key priority. Prime Minister noted that the Conference is being held at a time when the country is witnessing next-generation reforms and moving steadily towards becoming a major global economic power.

He further observed that Viksit Bharat is synonymous with quality and excellence and urged all stakeholders to move beyond average outcomes. Emphasising quality in governance, service delivery and manufacturing, the Prime Minister stated that the label "Made in India' must become a symbol of excellence and global competitiveness.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to strengthen Aatmanirbharta, stating that India must pursue self-reliance with zero defect in products and minimal environmental impact, making the label 'Made in India' synonymous with quality and strengthen our commitment to 'Zero Effect, Zero Defect.’ He urged the Centre and States to jointly identify 100 products for domestic manufacturing to reduce import dependence and strengthen economic resilience in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to map skill demand at the State and global levels to better design skill development strategies. In higher education too, he suggested that there is a need for academia and industry to work together to create high quality talent.

For livelihoods of youth, Prime Minister observed that tourism can play a huge role. He highlighted that India has a rich heritage and history with a potential to be among the top global tourist destinations. He urged the States to prepare a roadmap for creating at least one global level tourist destination and nourishing an entire tourist ecosystem.

PM Modi said that it is important to align the Indian national sports calendar with the global sports calendar. India is working to host the 2036 Olympics. India needs to prepare infrastructure and sports ecosystem at par with global standards. He observed that young kids should be identified, nurtured and trained to compete at that time. He urged the States that the next 10 years must be invested in them, only then will India get desired results in such sports events. Organising and promoting sports events and tournaments at local and district level and keeping data of players will create a vibrant sports environment.

PM Modi said that soon India would be launching the National Manufacturing Mission (NMM). Every State must give this top priority and create infrastructure to attract global companies. He further said that it included Ease of Doing Business, especially with respect to land, utilities and social infrastructure. He also called upon states to encourage manufacturing, boost ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and strengthen the services sector. In the services sector, PM Modi said that there should be greater emphasis on other areas like Healthcare, education, transport, tourism, professional services, AI, etc. to make India a Global Services Giant.

Prime Minister also emphasized that as India aspires to be the food basket of the world, we need to shift to high value agriculture, dairy, fisheries, with a focus on exports. He pointed out that the PM Dhan Dhanya Scheme has identified 100 districts with lower productivity. Similarly, in learning outcomes States must identify the lowest 100 districts and must work on addressing the issues around the low indicators.

PM also urged the States to use Gyan Bharatam Mission for digitization of manuscripts. He said that States may start a Abhiyan to digitize such manuscripts available in States. Once these manuscripts are digitized, Al can be used for synthesizing the wisdom and knowledge available.

Prime Minister noted that the Conference reflects India’s tradition of collective thinking and constructive policy dialogue, and that the Chief Secretaries Conference, institutionalised by the Government of India, has become an effective platform for collective deliberation.

Prime Minister emphasised that States should work in tandem with the discussions and decisions emerging from both the Chief Secretaries and the DGPs Conferences to strengthen governance and implementation.

Prime Minister suggested that similar conferences could be replicated at the departmental level to promote a national perspective among officers and improve governance outcomes in pursuit of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister also said that all States and UTs must prepare capacity building plan along with the Capacity Building Commission. He said that use of Al in governance and awareness on cyber security is need of the hour. States and Centre have to put emphasis on cyber security for the security of every citizen.

Prime Minister said that the technology can provide secure and stable solutions through our entire life cycle. There is a need to utilise technology to bring about quality in governance.

In the conclusion, Prime Minister said that every State must create 10-year actionable plans based on the discussions of this Conference with 1, 2, 5 and 10 year target timelines wherein technology can be utilised for regular monitoring.

The three-day Conference emphasised on special themes which included Early Childhood Education; Schooling; Skilling; Higher Education; and Sports and Extracurricular Activities recognising their role in building a resilient, inclusive and future-ready workforce.
