Today, Salem, Tamil Nadu, gave a warm and affectionate welcome to PM Modi as he attended a public meeting in the state. The PM, taking pride in his recent visit, remarked in a heartfelt tone, "Over the past week, I had the pleasure of visiting Tamil Nadu several times. The entire country watched the public support that BJP was getting in Tamil Nadu."

PM Modi recalled his recent visit to Coimbatore and said, “Yesterday I was among the people in Coimbatore. This blessing being received by BJP and Modi has given sleepless nights to the DMK government.”

The PM further added with confidence and reliability that, “Now Tamil Nadu has decided- Ab Ki Baar…..400 Paar” and “For Developed India – 400 Paar! For Developed Tamil Nadu - 400 Paar!”

PM Modi shared good news with the crowd, he said, “Tamil Nadu's NDA is gaining momentum with PMK joining the party!” The PM congratulated Dr. Anbumani Ramados who will surely add his talent and experience towards the development of Tamil Nadu and take the state to greater heights.

Reminiscing the past, the PM went nostalgic among the crowd and mentioned his trip to Kailash Mansarovar in 1988 when he met Ratnavel, a vibrant Salem native who shared captivating tales about the city. However, the PM mourned his demise and said that he fondly recalls his warmth and hospitality and carries his legacy as he visits Salem presently.

Launching a scathing attack on the opposition’s remark on “Shakti”, the PM said, “The opposition is saying that they have to destroy the power in which they believe in the Hindu religion. Every person in Tamil Nadu knows what is called Shakti in the Hindu religion.”

Reiterating his stance on women's power and respect, PM Modi strongly affirmed, “Shakti means women's power in Hindu religion. The INDI Alliance of Congress and DMK are saying that they will destroy it. The INDI Alliance does not insult any other religion. It does not utter a single word against any other religion. However, when it comes to the Hindu religion, they don't leave any chance to abuse and insult it.”

Expressing his utter discontent towards the opposition, PM Modi explicitly takes a dig and remarks, “The People of INDI Alliance persistently insult Hinduism with calculated remarks. While they refrain from disparaging other religions, they never hesitate to target Hinduism. Their opposition to the installation of the sacred Sengol in Parliament, a symbol of Tamil culture, is another deliberate insult. Despite its association with local monasteries, they disrespect it. This bias raises questions about their agenda and intentions.”

Reminding the crowd of PM Modi’s determination, the PM promised that, “Modi stands as a shield for women's empowerment in our country. From providing smoke-free lives through Ujjwala LPG connections to launching the Ayushman scheme for free medical treatment, women are at the heart of these initiatives.” He also urged the countrymen to continue supporting and empowering women across India in all spheres and fields.

“Through Jal Jeevan Mission, Modi is engaged in providing clean drinking water to all the homes of Tamil Nadu. With this, my sisters in Tamil Nadu are getting relief from the trouble of fetching water.” The PM further added, “In the next 5 years, these facilities will reach my sisters of Tamil Nadu on an even larger scale, this is the Modi Ki Guarantee.”

PM Modi reminisced about the demeaning experience of Jayalalitha when DMK stooped to their lowest. “This is the real face of DMK. That is why, these people also oppose the Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament. That is why crimes against women are increasing in Tamil Nadu,” the PM added.

Exposing the real faces of the opposition, PM Modi rebuked, “DMK and Congress are the two sides of the same corrupt coin, synonymous with big corruption and one-family rule. While Congress was on vacation, the nation progressed to 5G technology. However, DMK's version of 5G in Tamil Nadu symbolizes the fifth generation of the same family ruling the state. This 5G family has tainted India and Tamil Nadu's image worldwide with the infamous 2G scam.”

Sharing the development plans of NDA, PM Modi said, “The NDA government is building two defence corridors in the country. One of these is being built in Tamil Nadu. The BJP government is building seven mega textile parks across the country, one of which will be ready in Tamil Nadu.”

In his concluding remark, PM Modi shared his visionary frame towards Tamil Nadu and exclaimed, “The next five years are crucial for Tamil Nadu's development and our battle against corruption.”

With profound admiration for the Tamil language, the PM emphasized its ancient heritage and stressed the importance of its global recognition. PM Modi pledged to personally undertake the mission of promoting the Tamil language worldwide, ensuring its presence in every corner of the globe.

The PM also mentioned that to connect with him in Tamil language, people can directly reach him through the NaMo handle in Tamil on the social media site X. They can share their feedback on the same.

Thanking the extravagant crowd surrounding him, the PM showered his gratitude and hoped that “On April 19th, Tamil Nadu must set a new record by ensuring victory for all BJP and NDA candidates.” The PM asked Tamil Nadu to “unite and make this happen for the betterment of their state.”

PM Modi chairs 51st PRAGATI Meeting
May 27, 2026
PM reviews seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors
Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of around ₹30,000 crore
PM also reviews Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0
PM says Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues amicably
PM asks States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants
PM calls for mission-mode rooftop solar coverage in urban areas
Acting upon the advice of PM, system of monthly review of social sector schemes at State level operationalised, starting with review of Swachh Bharat Mission

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 51st meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform aimed at fostering Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, by seamlessly integrating efforts of the Central and State governments, at Seva Teerth, earlier today.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors covering nine States worth around ₹30,000 crore. These projects, pivotal to economic growth and public welfare, were reviewed with a focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, and timely issue resolution. Prime Minister also reviewed Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0.

While reviewing power sector projects, Prime Minister emphasized the need to accelerate rooftop solar adoption across urban areas, with a special focus on cities, residential clusters and public institutions. He underlined that rooftop solar should be taken up in mission mode to reduce electricity costs, improve energy security and promote clean energy at the household and community level.

While reviewing road and port connectivity projects, it was emphasised that Vadhavan Port should be developed as a model of port-led, multi-modal development, where every major mode of transport is seamlessly integrated to create a future-ready logistics ecosystem. The project should not be seen merely as a port, but as a national gateway connected through coastal shipping, inland waterways, dedicated freight corridors, high-speed rail connectivity, highways and airport linkages.

Prime Minister emphasised the need for effective implementation of Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 and underlined that the mission should move beyond infrastructure creation and ensure measurable outcomes through regular monitoring, citizen participation and convergence between various stakeholders. He asked States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants.

While reviewing Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project, Prime Minister observed that Ken-Betwa project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues through cooperation, timely clearances, technology-based monitoring and mission-mode execution. States were encouraged to identify similar opportunities where river-linking, water conservation, groundwater recharge and efficient irrigation can be taken up in an integrated manner to ensure long-term water security.

Prime Minister also underlined that the delay in the implementation of public projects leads not only to cost escalation but also deprives citizens of timely access to essential facilities and development benefits. He observed that every delay has a direct impact on people’s lives, regional growth and public resources. He stressed that Ministries, Departments and States must adopt a more proactive and time-bound approach to resolve pending issues, remove bottlenecks and ensure faster execution.

Prime Minister also emphasized that innovative use of canal networks should be explored, including installation of solar panels along canals and over canals for clean electricity generation. This would help optimize land use, reduce evaporation losses, generate renewable energy and create additional economic value from water infrastructure.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Cabinet Secretary informed that, in pursuance of the directions of the Prime Minister, a system of monthly review of social sector schemes at the State level has also been operationalised. This mechanism aims to ensure regular monitoring, faster resolution of implementation issues and greater accountability at the State and district levels. As part of this initiative, Swachh Bharat Mission has been taken up for review at the State level in the first instance.
