Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge gathering of BJP Karyakartas for the party’s ongoing National Convention in Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan today. The gathering saw PM Modi speak at length on a wide range of issues concerning the party and the country. 
 
PM Modi’s address began by emphasising the importance of the party Karyakartas in its organisation and outreach. He further remembered the late party patriarch Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee and described how each BJP Karyakarta is inspired everyday by Atal Ji’s vision. In this regard, he asked them to further strengthen the party’s organisation and expand its outreach. 
Prime Minister Modi further described the historic tenure of the current BJP-led government at the centre and said that this government has shown everyone that only the BJP can take the India of 21st century to newer heights. He added that another historic achievement of his government was that a majority government at the centre did not have a single taint of corruption or irregularities in its governance, a stark contrast from the previous decade-old corrupt rule of the Congress party. 
 
Enlisting the long series of historic and courageous decisions taken by his BJP government, PM Modi said the recent decision to give 10% reservation to poor from the general category shows the party’s commitment towards ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.’ He further added, “From women to workers and from youth to farmers, this government has taken brave and bold decisions to spur the progress of every group in the society.”
Concluding his all-pervasive address, PM Modi urged his party workers to work for strengthening the party’s organisation till the booth level across the country. With regards to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, he asked BJP Karyakartas to put the nation’s progress before everything else because if the people are supportive of the BJP, no one can stop it from emerging victorious in the Lok Sabha elections. 
Lashing out at the Congress for its years of neglect and ignorance towards the country’s long-term progress, Prime Minister Modi said, “Prior to 2014, there were two ways of getting a bank loan in our country. One was the ‘Common Process’ to get loans, the other was a ‘Congress Process’ of getting a loan. That is how the system worked before 2014. We have changed all of that.”

PM Modi addresses a public rally virtually in Nadia, West Bengal
December 20, 2025
Bengal and the Bengali language have made invaluable contributions to India’s history and culture, with Vande Mataram being one of the nation’s most powerful gifts: PM Modi
West Bengal needs a BJP government that works at double speed to restore the state’s pride: PM in Nadia
Whenever BJP raises concerns over infiltration, TMC leaders respond with abuse, which also explains their opposition to SIR in West Bengal: PM Modi
West Bengal must now free itself from what he described as Maha Jungle Raj: PM Modi’s call for “Bachte Chai, BJP Tai”

PM Modi addressed a public rally in Nadia, West Bengal through video conferencing after being unable to attend the programme physically due to adverse weather conditions. He sought forgiveness from the people, stating that dense fog made it impossible for the helicopter to land safely. Earlier today, the PM also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated development works in Ranaghat, a major way forward towards West Bengal’s growth story.

The PM expressed deep grief over a mishap involving BJP karyakartas travelling to attend the rally. He conveyed heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.

PM Modi said that Nadia is the sacred land where Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the embodiment of love, compassion and devotion, manifested himself. He noted that the chants of Harinaam Sankirtan that once echoed across villages and along the banks of the Ganga were not merely expressions of devotion, but a powerful call for social unity.

He highlighted the immense contribution of the Matua community in strengthening social harmony, recalling the teachings of Shri Harichand Thakur, the social reform efforts of Shri Guruchand Thakur, and the motherly compassion of Boro Maa. He bowed to all these revered figures for their lasting impact on society.

The PM said that Bengal and the Bengali language have made invaluable contributions to India’s history and culture, with Vande Mataram being one of the nation’s most powerful gifts. He noted that the country is marking 150 years of Vande Mataram and that Parliament has recently paid tribute to this iconic song. He said West Bengal is the land of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, whose creation of Vande Mataram awakened national consciousness during the freedom struggle.

He stressed that Vande Mataram should inspire a Viksit Bharat and awaken the spirit of a Viksit West Bengal, adding that this sacred idea forms the BJP’s roadmap for the state.

PM Modi said BJP-led governments are focused on policies that enhance the strength and capabilities of every citizen. He cited the GST Savings Festival as an example, noting that essential goods were made affordable, enabling families in West Bengal to celebrate Durga Puja and other festivals with joy.

He also highlighted major investments in infrastructure, mentioning the approval of two important highway projects that will improve connectivity between Kolkata and Siliguri and strengthen regional development.

The PM said the nation wants fast-paced development and referred to Bihar’s recent strong mandate in favour of the BJP-NDA. He recalled stating that the Ganga flows from Bihar to Bengal and that Bihar has shown the path for BJP’s victory in West Bengal as well.

He said that while Bihar has decisively rejected jungle raj, West Bengal must now free itself from what he described as Maha Jungle Raj. Referring to the popular slogan, he said the state is calling out, “Bachte Chai, BJP Tai.”

The PM emphasised that there is no shortage of funds, intent or schemes for West Bengal’s development, but alleged that projects worth thousands of crores are stalled due to corruption and commissions. He appealed to the people to give BJP a chance and form a double-engine government to witness rapid development.

He cautioned people to remain alert against what he described as TMC’s conspiracies, alleging that the party is focused on protecting infiltrators. He said that whenever BJP raises concerns over infiltration, TMC leaders respond with abuse, which also explains their opposition to SIR in West Bengal.

Concluding his address, PM Modi said West Bengal needs a BJP government that works at double speed to restore the state’s pride. He assured that he would speak in greater detail about BJP’s vision when he visits the state in person.
