“पिछले एक दशक से ज्यादा समय में हमारी सरकार ने संस्कृत को लोकप्रिय बनाने के लिए अनेक प्रयास किए हैं। इनमें केंद्रीय संस्कृत विश्वविद्यालय, संस्कृत शिक्षण केंद्रों की स्थापना, संस्कृत विद्वानों को अनुदान प्रदान करना और पांडुलिपियों के डिजिटलीकरण के लिए ज्ञान भारतम मिशन शामिल हैं। इससे अनगिनत विद्यार्थियों और शोधकर्ताओं को लाभ हुआ है।”

“गते दशके अस्माकं सर्वकारेण संस्कृतस्य प्रचाराय अनेके प्रयासाः कृताः सन्ति। तेषु त्रयाणां केन्द्रीयसंस्कृतविश्वविद्यालयानां स्थापनम्, संस्कृताध्ययनकेन्द्राणाम् आरम्भः, संस्कृतविद्वद्भ्यः अनुदानप्रदानम्, पाण्डुलिपीनां डिजिटल माध्यमे स्थापनाय ज्ञानभारतं मिशन् इत्यादीनि सन्ति। एतेन अगणिताः छात्राः शोधार्थिनः च लाभान्विताः जाताः।”

Unstoppable wave of support as PM Modi addresses a rally in Sitamarhi, Bihar
November 08, 2025
NDA policies have transformed Bihar into a supplier of fish and aim to take makhana to world markets: PM Modi
PM Modi warns against Congress and RJD’s politics of appeasement and disrespect to faith
Ayodhya honours many traditions and those who disrespect it cannot serve Bihar: PM Modi’s sharp jibe at opposition in Sitamarhi
Congress-RJD protects infiltrators for vote bank politics and such policies threaten job security and women’s safety: PM Modi in Sitamarhi
PM Modi promised stronger action against infiltration and urges voters to back the NDA for security development and dignity in Sitamarhi

PM Modi addressed a large and enthusiastic gathering in Sitamarhi, Bihar, seeking blessings at the sacred land of Mata Sita and underlining the deep connection between faith and nation building. Recalling the events of November 8 2019, when he had prayed for a favourable Ayodhya judgment before inauguration duties the next day, he said today he had come to Sitamarhi to seek the people’s blessings for a Viksit Bihar. He reminded voters that this election will decide the future of Bihar’s youth and urged them to vote for progress.

The PM celebrated Bihar’s skill and craft and said he carries Bihar’s art to the world. He recalled gifting Madhubani paintings during visits abroad and at the G20. He said he is proud of Bihar’s artisans and wants Bihar’s products to reach new markets. He highlighted how policies of the NDA have turned Bihar from a state that once imported fish into a state that now supplies fish to other states. He said the aim is to take makhana to global markets so small farmers benefit.

PM Modi warned voters about the politics of appeasement practiced by some opposition leaders. He criticised those who have belittled Chhath and shown disrespect to major faith traditions. He noted that Ayodhya is not only the home of Ram but also of Valmiki Maharshi, Nishadraj and Mata Shabari, and said the politics that insults our faith cannot serve Bihar’s interests. He accused Congress-RJD of protecting infiltrators for vote bank politics and warned that such policies threaten job security and women’s safety. He asked the people whether it is not necessary to remove infiltrators and assured them that every vote for the NDA will strengthen action against infiltration.

PM’s concluding remarks combined faith pride, cultural pride and a clear call for votes that guarantee security, development and dignity for Bihar. The rally echoed with support and confidence for a future of growth and stability.
