The AAP bought in ‘Nakaampanthi’ in governance in Delhi; they came to change the nation, they changed themselves over time: PM Modi
The people of India still remember how this former PM used Indian navy and army vessels as his personal taxi: PM Modi in Delhi
The BJP government at the Centre has constantly worked to ensure greater, better mobility for the people of this city: Prime Minister Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed his third huge rally for the day in the nation’s capital New Delhi this evening. Speaking at the rally, PM Modi attacked the ruling Aam Aadmi Party government saying, “The AAP bought in ‘Nakaampanthi’ in governance as soon as it came to power in Delhi. While they came to change the nation, they changed themselves over time and now only represent a failed model of development as well as support for the ‘Tukde Tukde gang.”

 

Hitting out at the dynastic politics of the Congress for compromising on the nation’s development, PM Modi said, “Recently when I gave a statement about the misdeeds of a former Congress PM, his dynasts started crying foul and calling me names. But why then do the heirs of these dynasts ask for votes from the people if they cannot face the heat over their ancestors’ actions? The people of India still remember how this former PM used Indian navy and army vessels as his personal taxi and took them along for personal use while going on vacations. With such actions to account for, there is no doubt that the people do not associate themselves with the Congress and its allies anymore.”

Describing how his government had worked to improve the quality of life and reduce pollution in Delhi, PM Modi said, “Be it the completion of Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways or the starting of cleaning projects for Yamuna river or the introduction of GST to simplify doing business in India, the BJP government at the Centre has constantly worked to ensure greater, better mobility for the people of this city while also improving their standards of living. With every vote cast in favour of the BJP on the 12th, this commitment to work for the people will further strengthen our resolve in this regard.”

PM says Infrastructure projects should be viewed as an integrated whole, rather than as individual sections or packages

PM says Speed must go hand-in-hand with quality
While reviewing AgriStack, PM emphasises the need to leverage the latest digital technologies including AI to derive greater value from agricultural data

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 53rd meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, at Seva Teerth earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed six key infrastructure projects across the Railway, Road and Power sectors, spanning nine States with a cumulative cost of more than ₹30,000 crore. The projects, significant for strengthening connectivity, supporting industrial and economic activity and improving public services, were reviewed with particular emphasis on adherence to timelines, inter-agency coordination, resolution of pending issues and expeditious completion.

Prime Minister emphasised that delays in infrastructure projects have consequences beyond cost escalation, as they also postpone the benefits intended for citizens, businesses and the economy. He said that infrastructure projects should be viewed and monitored as an integrated whole, rather than as isolated sections, stretches or packages. He noted that progress in individual packages should ultimately translate into timely completion and operationalisation of the entire project. Ministries and States were therefore asked to adopt an end-to-end approach, and address critical gaps that could delay the overall commissioning and delivery of benefits. He called for fostering a proactive work culture across Ministries and State Governments, with greater ownership at every level of project implementation.

Prime Minister stressed the need to explore common utility corridors for infrastructure services, wherever feasible, particularly while planning major transport and infrastructure projects. He called upon Ministries and States to examine such integrated approaches at the planning stage itself, keeping in view their technical and economic feasibility.

Prime Minister said that speed of execution must be accompanied by uncompromising quality. He called upon Ministries, States and implementing agencies to adopt modern technologies and strengthen quality assurance and supervision at every stage.

While reviewing AgriStack under the Digital Agriculture Mission, Prime Minister emphasised the need to leverage the latest digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to derive greater value from agricultural data. He stressed that the data ecosystem should be effectively utilised across the agricultural value chain, from input planning to processing, enabling more informed interventions, better targeting and data-driven decision-making. He appreciated the efforts of the States and the Central Government in building the AgriStack ecosystem and called for further strengthening its use for delivering better outcomes for farmers.

During the review of cyber fraud cases, including incidents of digital arrest, Prime Minister said that prevention must be strengthened through a sustained focus on training, awareness and education. He stressed the need for continuous and targeted public-awareness campaigns, particularly for senior citizens, youth and other vulnerable sections, to familiarise them with common fraud techniques, warning signs and safe digital practices. He also called for regular capacity-building of personnel involved so that emerging modes of cyber fraud are identified and acted upon swiftly.
