10 years ago, you entrusted me with the responsibility of being your representative for the first time: PM Modi to BJP karyakartas
Parivarvadi parties will never appreciate how far India has come. They are 'of the parivar, for the parivar, and by the parivar': PM Modi
Over the past 10 years, the confidence of Nari Shakti has reached new heights, says PM Modi while interacting with BJP Karyakartas
Over the last decade, we have enhanced Kashi's development, improving electricity, cleanliness, and traffic systems: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with BJP Karyakartas via NaMo App from Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi today. In an audio interaction at the Tiffin Baithak with BJP Karyakartas, PM Modi reaffirmed the BJP's commitment towards development. “10 years ago, you entrusted me with the responsibility of being your representative for the first time. This year, I urge you to once again choose me as your representative and help the NDA win 400 seats in the Lok Sabha,” he said.

Interacting with Karyakartas via NaMo App, the PM discussed on several topics including, restoration of Kashi Vishwanath corridor, women empowerment, infrastructure and healthcare development etc. He said, “You all have witnessed the remarkable transformation of Kashi over the past 10 years. It's imperative that we make people more aware of the works we have done and help ‘Modi ki Guarantee’ reach everyone.”

In a conversation with one of the party karyakartas, Rakesh Sonkar expressed, "In my constituency, women are pleased with the 'Ijjatghar', i.e the provision of toilets, along with the improved cleanliness in the city. The opposition's efforts will falter here, just as in Varanasi, where people say 'Har Ghar Modi, Ghar Ghar Modi.'" PM Modi emphasized the importance of reaching out to first-time voters, urging the party karyakarta to highlight the transformation between old and modern Kashi. He stressed the need for first-time voters to understand the hardships their parents faced before Modi's tenure, contrasting it with the progress and infrastructural development in Kashi today.

PM Modi inquired a party karyakarta whether tourists visiting from outside express surprise at the development of Kashi. In response, Saurabh Sahini, a Panna Pramukh, highlighted that both domestic and international tourists are astounded by the development of Varanasi over the last decade. They come specifically to witness landmarks such as the Kashi Vishwanath corridor, the newly-developed NaMo ghat, and the Alaknanda cruise, among others.

Lashing out at the opposition, PM Modi said, “The INDI Alliance relies on worn-out clichés. They lack both logic and facts. These individuals have nothing else to offer besides corruption, nepotism, and appeasement. That's all they know. So, when the public begins to reject them, they resort to criticizing Modi. But it's futile; the people have already seen through their facade. Parivarvadi parties will never appreciate how far India has come. They are 'of the Parivar, for the Parivar, and by the Parivar'.”

Interacting with one of the Karyakartas, Richa Singh at Tiffin Baithak, PM Modi said, “Over the past 10 years, the confidence of Nari Shakti has reached new heights. In every field, whether it be sports, science, or self-help groups, women are doing excellent work. The efforts we have made for them are bearing fruit.” He also said, “Nari Shakti... embodies Shakti, but a leader from the Congress party has said that he is here to destroy that Shakti. He is in conflict with Shakti, whereas I am a devotee of Shakti.”

PM Modi encouraged voters to join the democratic festival, stating ‘Pehle Matdan, Phir Jalpan'. He also urged Karyakartas to engage with first-time voters, women, senior citizens, and beneficiaries to achieve our goal of Abki Baar, 400 Paar!
