Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his heartfelt appreciation to all those who gathered at the Hoshangabad, Madhya Pradesh rally upon his arrival. PM Modi paid tribute to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, stating, "The Constitution drafted by Babasaheb is the reason why today, for the third time, I am seeking your blessings to serve. It is because of Babasaheb's Constitution that today, the country's President hails from a tribal family."
“Whether it's his home in Mhow or the various places he lived in within the country and abroad, the BJP government has been fortunate to develop all these places as ‘Panch Teerth’. Otherwise, parties like the Congress have always worked to disrespect Babasaheb. We haven't just confined Babasaheb to thoughts; rather, we have given a new identity to his contribution in modern India. The payment you make through your phone, that BHIM UPI, is named after Babasaheb Ambedkar,” he added.
Hitting out at the Congress party, PM Modi remarked that for many decades after independence, only one family from the Congress party either directly or through remote control governed the country. He said, “As soon as Modi became the Prime Minister, Congress started spreading rumors that the Constitution and democracy are in danger. Now, the royal family of Congress is threatening that if Modi becomes Prime Minister for the third time, the country will be set on fire. They also said it in 2014, 2019 , did something like this happen?...Aag desh mein nahi lagi, aag, jalan unke dilon mein lagi hai…”
Talking about the BJP’s Sankalp Patra and the Congress’s manifesto, PM Modi said, “A while ago, I have elaborated on Modi's guarantees there at the BJP Sankalp Patra release. But look at the situation of the opposition alliance. As many parties there are, there are as many manifestos as possible. If they couldn't even agree on a common manifesto, how will they run the government? Moreover, their individual manifestos are even more dangerous. One manifesto aims to economically bankrupt the country, while another promises to rid India of nuclear weapons.”
Furthermore, he added, “The BJP Sankalp Patra stands before you as Modi's guarantee. Whether in villages or cities, the government will fulfill every poor person's dream of a pakka house- this is Modi's guarantee. The BJP has pledged to build 3 crore new houses in the coming years. Modi guarantees that the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi will continue to operate in same manner. Free rations will continue to be provided to the poor for 5 years... this is also Modi's guarantee. Now, the BJP has announced that all elderly citizens above the age of 70 will also be included in the ambit of the Ayushman Bharat scheme.”
PM Modi announced plans for the 150th birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda in 2025, which will be celebrated as the Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh. He said, “Efforts will be accelerated to expand the number of Eklavya Model Schools to reach up to 700. Work is already underway on the PM Janman Yojana with an allocation of 24,000 crores for the upliftment of backward tribes, even among the indigenous population. This initiative will also be expedited during Modi's third term. These efforts will greatly assist in the advancement of our SC-ST-OBC communities in Madhya Pradesh.”
Mocking the Gandhi scion, PM Modi remarked that the Congress ‘Shehzaade’ has announced he will eradicate poverty from the country in one stroke. This statement has surprised the entire nation. The country is wondering where this "royal magician" had been hiding all these years.
Continuing his remark, PM Modi added, 'Fifty years ago, his grandmother made a similar promise to eradicate poverty from the country. For 10 years before 2014, he ran the government remotely. And now, he claims to have found the magic formula. Making such claims is why they have become the subject of ridicule nationwide."
The PM went on to say, "I don't have any personal dreams. Your dream is Modi's resolution. Because all of you, this entire nation, is my family. That's why, today, wide roads are being built on all sides. Modernization of many railway stations is underway here. The number of medical colleges has doubled in the last 10 years. The effort is to ensure you face no difficulties, no inconvenience. But this is just the trailer for now. There is still a lot to do. We have to take the country, Madhya Pradesh, further ahead.”
Wrapping up his speech, the PM called upon every voter in Hoshangabad to endorse the BJP candidate to maintain the trajectory of growth and progress. He extended heartfelt greetings to all, encouraging them to share his best wishes door-to-door.
