It is clear in the 1st phase of polling that Chhattisgarh is going to be Congress-free soon: PM Modi
Victory for BJP in Chhattisgarh means rapid development, fulfilling dreams of youth, empowerment of women, and an end to rampant corruption: PM Modi
Congress only wants to make and keep people poor so that it can perpetually loot you all: PM Modi
Congress even hated BR Ambedkar ensuring a premature end to his political career: PM Modi
Congress can go to any extent for their appeasement politics. What they did with the Satnami community is a vibrant example of the same: PM Modi
For the last 5 years, the Congress government here has stopped every work for the public's welfare. The only goal of Congress is to loot Chhattisgarh and fill its coffers: PM Modi

Ahead of the Assembly Election, PM Modi addressed two massive public meetings in Mungeli and Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh. He said, “It is clear in the 1st phase of polling that Chhattisgarh is going to be Congress-free soon.” He added that he is thankful to the youth and the women of the state who voted in favor of the state’s development. PM Modi stated, “Victory for BJP in Chhattisgarh means rapid development, fulfilling dreams of youth, empowerment of women, and an end to rampant corruption.”

On the state of Congress in Chhattisgarh, PM Modi said, “The youth, women, and farmers of the state of Chhattisgarh have made sure of the defeat of Congress.” PM Modi added that as the Congress has accepted its defeat it is now relying on falsity and is making false promises to the people of Chhattisgarh. He added that CM Baghel-led corruption by the Congress has betrayed the trust of all the voters who had helped the Congress form the Government.

On the various mathematical models of the Congress-led corruption, PM Modi said, “The Congress-led Rs. 508 crore corruption in the Mahadev Betting Scandal is very well known”. He added that there is even an audio file that showcases Congress-led corruption in seat allocation for contesting the elections in Chhattisgarh. PM Modi stated that Congress-led corruption has also resurfaced in its attempt at enabling political favouritism in the PSC exams. They have also fooled the women of the state by making them a false promise of an alcohol ban.

On the development of the state of Chhattisgarh, PM Modi said, “With the blessings of the people, BJP should form a Government in Chhattisgarh soon to facilitate robust development under a ‘Double-engine Sarkar.’ He added that Modi’s guarantee is the fulfilment of all guarantees. PM Modi said, “Congress only wants to make and keep people poor so that it can perpetually loot you all.”

On the hate of Congress for the people of India, PM Modi lamented, “Congress hates me and their increased levels of hatred has also made them hate my caste.” He added that the Congress’ hatred for the poor and downtrodden people of India is well-known. PM Modi said, “Congress even hated BR Ambedkar ensuring a premature end to his political career.” He added that their regressive mindset has made them not grant adequate opportunities to the Janjatiyas for their empowerment and development.

Highlighting the politics of appeasement of Congress, PM Modi said, “Congress can go to any extent for their appeasement politics. What they did with the Satnami community is an example of the same.” He added that Congress does not care for Dalits, Janjatiyas, and OBCs in India.

Highlighting Congress-led underdevelopment of India, PM Modi said that it is the Congress that is solely responsible for the poverty and underdevelopment in India. On the contrary, the BJP has enabled the exit of 13.5 crore people from poverty in just 5 years, PM Modi added. “It is Modi’s guarantee that has enabled people free ration, pucca houses, free health and quality medicines,” PM Modi said. He added, “How times have changed when under Rajiv Gandhi Government out of the Rs. 100 earmarked only Rs. 15 would reach people, while today medicines worth Rs. 100 are being sold at Rs. 20. This is Modi’s promise,” he added.

In his second rally in Mahasamund, PM Modi thanked the people of Chhattisgarh for ensuring the defeat of Congress here, he said, “Congratulations because the voting that took place in the first phase on 7th November has burst the balloon of lies of Congress. Today the whole of Chhattisgarh is saying in one voice – BJP is back. 7th and 17th November together are ensuring the departure of 'Kakka', who holds 30% of the Congress' share, from the government.”

“For the last 5 years, the Congress government here has stopped every work for the public's welfare. The only goal of Congress is to loot Chhattisgarh and fill its coffers. When the Congress government that looted Chhattisgarh will lose, when the BJP government that develops Chhattisgarh will come into power here, then Chhattisgarh will reach the height of development that this state deserves. As a result, Bhupesh Baghel faces formidable challenges in securing a position as an MLA in the upcoming elections,” he added.

Talking about Chhattisgarh’s cultural heritage and natural beauty. PM Modi said, “Mahasamund has been the capital of South Kosal and has been the center of knowledge. BJP is engaged in extensive expansion of tourism related facilities and pilgrimage areas in the country. Wherever there are traces of Lord Ram, those places are being connected with modern facilities through the Ramayana Circuit Scheme. Similarly, under the Tribal Circuit Scheme, facilities are being developed in places related to tribal culture. When BJP government is formed here, this campaign will also gain momentum. This will provide thousands of jobs to the youth of Chhattisgarh.”


“BJP has ensured the development of the people while also preserving India’s local traditions and cultural heritage. Modi’s guarantee means the fulfilment of all guarantees,” added PM Modi. He appealed to all the voters to vote for the BJP to ensure steadfast commitment to the development of the state of Chhattisgarh.

PM Modi chairs 51st PRAGATI Meeting
May 27, 2026
PM reviews seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors
Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of around ₹30,000 crore
PM also reviews Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0
PM says Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues amicably
PM asks States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants
PM calls for mission-mode rooftop solar coverage in urban areas
Acting upon the advice of PM, system of monthly review of social sector schemes at State level operationalised, starting with review of Swachh Bharat Mission

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 51st meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform aimed at fostering Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, by seamlessly integrating efforts of the Central and State governments, at Seva Teerth, earlier today.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed seven critical infrastructure projects across the Railways, Power and Road sectors covering nine States worth around ₹30,000 crore. These projects, pivotal to economic growth and public welfare, were reviewed with a focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, and timely issue resolution. Prime Minister also reviewed Ken Betwa Link Project and Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0.

While reviewing power sector projects, Prime Minister emphasized the need to accelerate rooftop solar adoption across urban areas, with a special focus on cities, residential clusters and public institutions. He underlined that rooftop solar should be taken up in mission mode to reduce electricity costs, improve energy security and promote clean energy at the household and community level.

While reviewing road and port connectivity projects, it was emphasised that Vadhavan Port should be developed as a model of port-led, multi-modal development, where every major mode of transport is seamlessly integrated to create a future-ready logistics ecosystem. The project should not be seen merely as a port, but as a national gateway connected through coastal shipping, inland waterways, dedicated freight corridors, high-speed rail connectivity, highways and airport linkages.

Prime Minister emphasised the need for effective implementation of Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 and underlined that the mission should move beyond infrastructure creation and ensure measurable outcomes through regular monitoring, citizen participation and convergence between various stakeholders. He asked States to expedite the completion of solid waste management-related infrastructure, including waste processing plants and GOBARdhan plants.

While reviewing Ken-Betwa River Inter-linking Project, Prime Minister observed that Ken-Betwa project should serve as a model for other States to resolve inter-State water issues through cooperation, timely clearances, technology-based monitoring and mission-mode execution. States were encouraged to identify similar opportunities where river-linking, water conservation, groundwater recharge and efficient irrigation can be taken up in an integrated manner to ensure long-term water security.

Prime Minister also underlined that the delay in the implementation of public projects leads not only to cost escalation but also deprives citizens of timely access to essential facilities and development benefits. He observed that every delay has a direct impact on people’s lives, regional growth and public resources. He stressed that Ministries, Departments and States must adopt a more proactive and time-bound approach to resolve pending issues, remove bottlenecks and ensure faster execution.

Prime Minister also emphasized that innovative use of canal networks should be explored, including installation of solar panels along canals and over canals for clean electricity generation. This would help optimize land use, reduce evaporation losses, generate renewable energy and create additional economic value from water infrastructure.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Cabinet Secretary informed that, in pursuance of the directions of the Prime Minister, a system of monthly review of social sector schemes at the State level has also been operationalised. This mechanism aims to ensure regular monitoring, faster resolution of implementation issues and greater accountability at the State and district levels. As part of this initiative, Swachh Bharat Mission has been taken up for review at the State level in the first instance.
