Modi is paving the way for the country not just for the coming five years but for the next 25 years, says the PM in Etawah
We work for your children's future. Meanwhile, SP and Congress focus on their own children's future by contesting elections: PM Modi
The textile and perfume industries in Kannauj are thriving. I often take Kannauj's perfume abroad, even gifting it at the G-20 summit: PM in Etawah
Security agencies used to catch terrorists with great effort, but the SP government used to withdraw cases against the terrorists: PM Modi in Dhaurahra
Congress and INDI Alliance have their eyes on your property. They openly say that they will conduct an X-ray of whatever you have: PM Modi

Amidst the ongoing election campaigning, PM Modi's rally spree continued as he addressed two mega public meetings in Uttar Pradesh’s Etawah and Dhaurahra, today. He stated, "After my 10-year tenure, I seek your blessings. You have witnessed my hard work and honesty. I am not just preparing for the next 5 years; I'm paving the way for 25 years. India's strength will endure for a thousand years; I'm laying its foundation. Why? Because whether I remain or not, this country will always remain."

In a strong rebuke to dynastic parties like Congress-SP, Prime Minister Modi questioned, “What is the legacy of these dynasts? Their legacy is cars, mansions, and political power games. Some consider Mainpuri, Kannauj, and Etawah as their heritage. Some regard Amethi-Raebareli as their estates. But Modi's legacy... a solid home for the poor. Modi's legacy - toilets for mothers and sisters. Modi's legacy provides Dalits and backward classes - electricity, gas, water connections. Modi's legacy includes free grains, free healthcare, a National Education Policy. Modi's legacy belongs to everyone, for everyone."

PM Modi slammed the opposition for defaming indigenous COVID-19 vaccines. He said, “They secretly got vaccinated and incited the public on TV and social media. Why? So that uproar spreads and sins are pinned on Modi's forehead."

“Now they are spreading lies about our democracy, our constitution. Why? Because Modi has exposed their appeasement. The framers of our constitution said - there will be no reservation based on religion. Baba Saheb Ambedkar said it. But now, the SP-Congress want to snatch reservation from SC/ST/OBC and distribute it based on religion. Overnight in Karnataka, they declared all Muslim castes as OBCs. If this happens in UP, what will happen to Yadavs, Mauryas, Lodhs, Pals, Jatavs, Shakya, Kushwaha communities,” remarked the PM.

Further exposing the Samajwadi Party's appeasement politics, PM Modi iterated, “The claim of SP to be the guardians of a particular community has also been shattered. Either they do good for their families or for their vote banks.” He pointed out that even today in the entire state, SP couldn't find a single Yadav candidate outside their family. In contrast, in the BJP, any karyakarta can reach the highest positions.

Continuing to unveil the deceitful intentions of the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance, PM Modi said, “5 years ago, the royal family of the Congress was touring temples. The scion of the Congress even wore the sacred thread outside his coat. But this time, temple visits stopped. The sacred thread was removed from outside the coat... to the extent that after 500 years, a historic moment arrived. The entire country rejoiced at the grand Ram temple being built. But they declined even the invitation to the consecration ceremony.”

Further emphasizing their malicious intent, PM Modi lashed out at Congress’s scion for mocking his underwater prayer at Dwarka. He said, “While criticizing Modi, they have begun to disrespect Lord Krishna's worship. Initially, they claimed there was nothing beneath the sea in Dwarka. Now, they ridicule Lord Krishna's worship, showing no respect for our faith.”

Hitting out at the SP supremo, PM Modi said, "Those in UP, who say they are Yaduvanshi, the leader who takes the benefits of being Yaduvanshi, I want to ask him, how can they sit with a party that insults Lord Krishna? How can you have an agreement with them?"

Commending CM Yogi Ji's leadership, PM Modi said, “You've seen the transformation here. It was tough for women to leave their homes. Extortion, bribery, and land grabbing were rampant. Under the SP regime, the slogan was ‘Khali Plot Humara Hai’. But we have turned things around in Uttar Pradesh. From a factory to a defence corridor, transformation is evident. The textile and perfume industries in Kannauj are thriving. I often take Kannauj's perfume abroad, even gifting it at the G-20 summit.”

In Dhaurahra, PM Modi highlighted that Lakhimpur Kheri and Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, known as the "sugar bowl" of the state, suffered under the SP government, leaving sugarcane farmers in distress. He said, “The BJP government has addressed these issues by clearing pending dues and increasing payments to farmers. Today, sugarcane prices have risen to Rs 370 per quintal, and farmers have received substantial support through schemes like PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Also, efforts are underway to develop the region into a hub for banana cultivation.”

Critiquing the nation's condition a decade ago, PM Modi said, "Earlier, those in the INDI Alliance would restrain the operations of security agencies. The country's police and agencies were not allowed to act against terrorism. The situation was the same here in Uttar Pradesh. During the SP government, there were sleeper cells of terrorists in many cities. Security agencies used to work hard to catch terrorists. But what did the SP government do? The government used to withdraw cases against terrorists."

Addressing a public meeting in Dhaurahra, PM Modi added, "Pressure was exerted on Officers to grant bail for terrorists. Officers who did not do so were suspended. All this was done for appeasement, for vote bank. The politics of appeasement has become a necessity of survival for the shehzadas of SP-Congress."

PM Modi rebuked the Congress and the INDI Alliance for their intentions of redistributing the country’s wealth to their vote bank. He further questioned them, stating that they claim if they come to power, they will revoke Article 370, end the free ration scheme, stop the free healthcare scheme for the poor, and remove Vande Bharat trains. "If you come to power, will you open a hospital in the Ram Mandir? Will you bulldoze the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor?" he asked, addressing the SP-Congress alliance.

Concluding his statement, PM Modi urged the electorate to turn out in greater numbers for voting. He said, “For every development project, you must press the button with the lotus symbol. You have to go door-to-door and say that Modi has greeted with 'Ram Ram'.”

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.
