PM Modi addresses public meeting in Churu, Rajasthan

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge public meeting in Churu district of Rajasthan today.

Addressing his huge crowd of supporters, PM Modi recited a poem that he wrote in 2014 during the ‘Vijay Shankhnad Yuva Sangam’ about his commitment to the security and well-being of the people of this country-
सौगंध मुझे इस मिट्टी की,
मैं देश नहीं मिटने दूंगा।
मैं देश नहीं रुकने दूंगा,
मैं देश नहीं झुकने दूंगा।।
मेरा वचन है भारत मां को
तेरा शीश नहीं झुकने दूंगा।
सौगंध मुझे इस मिट्टी की मैं
देश नहीं मिटने दूंगा।।

जाग रहा है देश मेरा
हर भारतवासी जीतेगा।
सौगंध मुझे इस मिट्टी की
मैं देश नहीं मिटने दूंगा।।
हमें फिर से दोहराना है और खुद को याद दिलाना है।
न भटकेंगे न अटकेंगे कुछ भी हो हम देश नहीं मिटने देंगे।।
सौगंध मुझे इस मिट्टी की मैं देश नहीं मिटने दूंगा।
मैं देश नहीं रुकने दूंगा, मैं देश नहीं झुकने दूंगा।।

Receiving loud applauds from people for these moving lines, PM Modi said that the country is in safe hands and that he belongs to a party for which the country is the most important, much more than the party and the self. PM Modi further reiterated his commitment towards the Armed Forces of the country and highlighted key decisions and initiatives that fulfill this commitment. In this regard, Prime Minister Modi listed out the inauguration of the long-impending ‘National War Memorial’ in New Delhi yesterday as a tribute to martyred soldiers of the country as well as his government’s decision to implement ‘One Rank, One Pension,’ another longtime demand of the Armed Forces as landmark initiatives.

Lashing out at the Congress-ruled state government for failing to implement the Centre’s transformative scheme such as the recently launched PM-KISAN Yojana and Ayushman Bharat Yojana in Rajasthan due to political differences, PM Modi said, “I urge and request the Congress government in Rajasthan to rise above politics and think about the welfare of its people and implement these schemes in the state as they will greatly empower the poor people of this country.”

Concluding his wide-ranging address to his supporters, Prime Minister Modi urged his supporters to vote for the BJP in large numbers during the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections this year and pledge their support for the clean and efficient governance of BJP governments and to ensure that the ongoing upward trajectory of progress in country continues in the years to come.

Cabinet approves infrastructure projects between National Highway-19 and Varanasi Ring Road in Uttar Pradesh worth Rs.14447.64 crore
July 15, 2026

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved the development of a Link/Connector Corridor between National Highway-19 (NH-19) and the Varanasi Ring Road with riverbank connectivity along the River Ganga for the decongestion of Varanasi City in Uttar Pradesh. The 46.039 km project, comprising a six-lane elevated main carriageway, an iconic cable-stayed bridge, an extradosed Foot Over Bridge-cum-Major Bridge, loops, ramps, link roads and service roads, will be implemented under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) at a total capital cost of Rs.14,447.64 crore including a civil construction cost of Rs.6,037.85 crore (including utility shifting, excluding GST) and a land acquisition cost of Rs.541.11 crore under NH(O).

The project will provide seamless connectivity between NH-19 and the Varanasi Ring Road, significantly decongesting the city’s road network and improving urban mobility. Designed for an operating speed of 80–100 km/h, it is expected to reduce the average travel time across the project influence area from approximately 60 minutes to 20 minutes, representing a reduction of nearly 67 per cent. Travel time between NH-19 and Kashi Railway Station will be reduced from approximately 50 minutes to about 25 minutes, resulting in a saving of about 25 minutes (nearly 50 per cent).

Aligned with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, the corridor will strengthen multimodal connectivity by providing seamless access to major highways, railway stations, Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport and Ramnagar IWAI Port, while significantly improving connectivity to key religious, educational and cultural landmarks, including the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Namo Ghat, Ramnagar Fort and the Ghats of Varanasi. By linking important economic, social and logistics nodes, the project will improve logistics efficiency, enhance road safety, facilitate tourism and pilgrimage, and support sustainable regional economic growth across eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The corridor has been conceived as a transformative urban mobility project to decongest the road network of Varanasi & Chandauli by providing a high-speed, access-controlled connection between NH-19, the Varanasi Ring Road (NH-135B), Ramnagar/ BHU and other major urban destinations. With more than 15 crore tourists and pilgrims visiting Varanasi every year, the project will significantly improve connectivity to major religious, educational and cultural landmarks, including the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Namo Ghat, Ramnagar Fort, the Ghats of Varanasi, and Kashi Railway Station, while substantially reducing congestion on the existing city road network. An elevated spur between BHU/Lanka and Samne Ghat will further ease traffic congestion at the heavily trafficked Lanka Junction by separating through traffic from local traffic movements.

The project will improve road safety through controlled-access movement, reduce vehicle operating costs and emissions, enhance travel reliability, and facilitate the efficient movement of passenger and freight traffic. It will also decongest NH-19, the BHU-Ramnagar Corridor and NH-35 by diverting through traffic away from the densely developed urban core.

The project incorporates several landmark engineering features, including an iconic 910 m cable-stayed bridge across the River Ganga, a 1.32 km extradosed Foot Over Bridge-cum-Major Bridge with travelators providing seamless pedestrian connectivity to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, a Rail Over Bridge over the existing/proposed Malviya Bridge, dedicated emergency parking bays, noise barriers, façade lighting and architectural elements inspired by the cultural heritage of Varanasi. These features will not only improve transportation efficiency but also enhance the city’s urban landscape, create an iconic addition to Varanasi’s skyline, and reinforce its position as one of India’s foremost religious and cultural destinations.

Planned in accordance with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, the corridor will strengthen multimodal connectivity by linking one Economic Node (Chandauli SEZ), one Social Node (Chandauli Aspirational District) and six major Logistics Nodes, namely Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport, Kashi Railway Station, Banaras Railway Station, Varanasi City Railway Station, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay Junction and Ramnagar IWAI Port. By providing seamless connectivity between these transport hubs and key destinations such as the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Namo Ghat, Ramnagar Fort and the Ghats of Varanasi, the project will enhance multimodal integration, improve logistics efficiency, facilitate tourism and pilgrimage, and support sustainable regional economic development across eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Overall, the proposed Ganga Elevated Corridor will create a modern, high-capacity urban transport corridor that transforms mobility in Varanasi by providing faster, safer and more reliable connectivity, significantly reducing congestion, strengthening multimodal integration, enhancing tourism and pilgrimage infrastructure, and supporting sustainable economic growth in line with the vision of PM Gati Shakti and Viksit Bharat.
