The people of Tamil Nadu are giving a clear message: NDA is in. DMK is out: PM Modi in Coimbatore
If this Women Reservation Bill had been passed earlier, many Tamil women from ordinary families would have become MPs and MLAs: PM Modi
DMK does not stand with women even in Parliament. But now, its anti-women thinking will be strongly challenged: PM Modi in Coimbatore
The policy of DMK is by the family, of the family, and for the family, says PM Modi in Coimbatore

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today delivered a high-energy and politically charged address in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, drawing an enthusiastic response from the public. Addressing a large gathering, Prime Minister Modi said the people of Tamil Nadu are sending a clear message ahead of the upcoming polls: “NDA is in, DMK is out.”

Highlighting the strong connect with the region, PM Modi said, “Kongu Nadu, especially Coimbatore, is a land of hardworking and affectionate people. You have always stood firmly with the politics of development, with BJP-NDA. Whenever I come here, I feel a deep sense of belonging.”

Expressing disappointment over the derailment of the Women’s Reservation Bill, PM Modi said, “I personally appealed to all political parties to support it. I even told them to take the credit, I had no objection. I only wanted sisters from ordinary families to reach Parliament and Vidhan Sabhas in greater numbers.” He added, “Unfortunately, this noble effort was derailed by DMK, Congress and their allies due to petty politics.”

Apologising to women in Tamil Nadu, PM Modi stated, “If this Bill had passed, many Tamil women from ordinary families would have become MPs and MLAs. I apologise to my Tamil sisters that it could not go through, but I assure you, this is just the beginning of our fight.”

Targeting the DMK government, PM Modi said, “Today, DMK has no achievements to showcase. That is why they spread false fears. By wearing black clothes, they cannot hide their wrong intentions. These ‘one-family parties’ want power to remain confined within their own families.” He further questioned the low representation of women in the state cabinet, pointing out that despite having over 30 ministers, only two are women.

Raising concerns about law and order, PM Modi remarked, “In Tamil Nadu today, even young girls are not safe from criminals. DMK harms women by enabling crime and does not stand with them even in Parliament.”

Calling upon voters to hold the ruling party accountable, he urged, “Ask them why they opposed a Bill meant to ensure women’s representation. Ask DMK why they denied Tamil women this golden opportunity. On April 23, give them a clear and powerful message.”

Highlighting development initiatives, PM Modi emphasized the Centre’s contribution to Tamil Nadu’s growth. “In the last eleven years, the Centre has provided more than ₹14 lakh crore to Tamil Nadu through tax devolution, infrastructure and welfare schemes,” he said. He contrasted this with what he described as rising debt and concentration of wealth within a single political family.

The PM also underscored the benefits of a double engine government, stating, “When there is a double engine government, work moves faster, schemes reach people quicker and benefits multiply.” Citing the PM Surya Ghar scheme, he explained how thousands of households in Coimbatore are benefiting from subsidies and reduced electricity bills.

Outlining future commitments, PM Modi assured, “Once NDA comes to power, we will fix law and order. Our sisters’ safety is our priority. We will take strong action against land, sand and liquor mafia and create a Tamil Nadu free from drugs.”

He concluded by urging party workers to intensify outreach efforts and ensure maximum voter participation, stating that the upcoming election is crucial for Tamil Nadu’s future. PM Modi said, “Let us come together to build a Viksit Tamil Nadu and a Viksit Bharat.” He signed off with, Vanakkam.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today chaired the valedictory session of the two-day National Departmental Summit on Water, organised by the Ministry of Jal Shakti. The Summit is the first in a series of Departmental Summits envisioned by Prime Minister to strengthen the spirit of Team India, deepen cooperative federalism and foster collective ownership of national priorities through closer collaboration between the Centre and the States. It brought together Ministers and senior officials from States and Union Territories for focused deliberations on various dimensions of India’s water security.

Prime Minister appreciated the intensive two-day deliberations and emphasised that the actionable and time-bound action points emerging from the Summit should be pursued through a continuous process of review and learning. He suggested that the Summit should not remain a one-time exercise and called for a continuous process of review and follow-up.

Prime Minister called for sensitising Urban Local Bodies to the challenges arising from urbanisation, including population growth and future water requirements, and suggested organising similar Chintan Shivirs for Urban Local Bodies. He called for greater adoption of water-saving technologies. He also suggested dedicated exhibitions and workshops, including exposure to global best practices, to enable Indian manufacturers and stakeholders to develop and scale efficient solutions.

Emphasising Jan Bhagidari, Prime Minister suggested promoting “Jal Utsav” to create greater awareness among people. Prime Minister called for making de-silting a regular programme and developing clear criteria and SOPs for de-silting. On dam safety, he stressed rigorous preparedness before every monsoon, adherence to prescribed precautions and creating awareness among school students, including through suitable incorporation in educational curricula.

Prime Minister further called for strengthening knowledge and capacity on water management and governance in universities and higher educational institutions. He suggested structured inter-State study-visits involving public representatives, officials and farmers to facilitate practical learning and replication of successful interventions.

Prime Minister called for robust water data governance, with water-sector data brought together, systematically managed, analysed and effectively utilised. He recommended the use of AI for data collection and analysis through a uniform format. He also stressed anticipatory and integrated planning to address water scarcity through suitable utilisation of treated water for agriculture and industrial purposes.

Drawing upon his experience as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister noted that instances of water scarcity could be transformed into opportunities through systematic planning, commitment and deployment of adequate resources and capable officers.

Union Minister for Jal Shakti Shri C. R. Patil highlighted four key outcomes of the summit: accelerated completion of water infrastructure projects; strengthening water conservation as a sustained people’s movement; ensuring long-term sustainability of drinking-water sources; and institutionalising effective operation and maintenance of rural drinking-water schemes.
