Shri Modi addresses massive public rally in Nand Gam, Bhachau and Bhuj in Kutch

This election not about who your MLA will be, it is about to whom we want to give Gujarat and its future too: Shri Modi

Shri Modi speaks about the development of Kutch in the last 10 years

Did anyone imagine agriculture would shine in Kutch? Now farmers from Kutch are exporting mangoes: Shri Modi

Congress lacks Neta, Niti and Niyat. Their single point programme is to abuse Modi: CM

I want the Lotus to shine in all parts of Kutch. I am asking on the basis of our work, not mere promises: Shri Modi

Another name for Congress is cheating. They not only cheat the people but also their own workers: Shri Modi

On the afternoon of 5th December 2012 Shri Narendra Modi addressed a large public meeting in Nand Gam, Bhachau and Bhuj in Kutch. The Chief Minister spoke about the remarkable development in Kutch in the last decade and continued his direct attack on the Congress for its anti-Gujarat mindset.Making a strong appeal to the people to vote for the BJP, he said, “I want the Lotus to shine in all parts of Kutch. I am asking on the basis of our work not mere promises!”

“There was a big quake in Kutch. I got the opportunity to wipe your tears after the quake” Shri Modi pointed out. He added, “I followed only one Mantra- I must work to create a better Kutch and ensure the attention of the world towards Kutch.” Shri Modi stated that he has lived up to this determination and today Kutch is scaling new heights of development. “Mr. Amitabh Bachchan says ‘Kutch Nahi Dekha to Kuch Nahi Dekha’ (If you have not seen Kutch, you have not seen anything)” he said, while speaking about how the entire world is visiting the White Rann of Kutch. The Chief Minister talked about how tourism has brought about a qualitative difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor.

Speaking of the development in Kutch Shri Modi asked if anyone imagined if agriculture would shine in Kutch and shared that the farmer from Kutch is exporting mangoes as well. He affirmed that Kutch is an example of how a compassionate Government can bring about a positive difference in society.

Yet, giving an example of the anti-Gujarat mindset Shri Modi pointed out how the ads with Shri Amitabh Bachchan were disallowed and it was only recently that the permission to air them was granted. The ads do not contain any reference to the BJP or Shri Modi. Yet they were taken off air for sometime.The Chief Minister declared that the people should answer such anti-Gujarat elements on 17th December.

Shri Modi termed the Congress as a party without a Neta, Niti or Niyat as well as without ‘Manas aur Mudda’ (leader and issue) and added that their single point programme is to abuse him. “Congress has looted and ruined Delhi, do we want them to do the same in Gujarat?” he questioned. He said that while there is no taint on the Gujarat Government, there is a new taint on the Government in Delhi everyday. The Chief Minister took on the Congress over their false promises and declared that another name for the Congress is cheating, who not only cheats the people but also its own workers.

He said that till now he has only filled the ditches of preceding years of Congress rule and asked the people to fill the remaining ditches of 17th December. After the elections and after the ditches are filled, Shri Modi said that he will commence the work for a Bhavya and Divya (Glorious and divine) Gujarat.

The Chief Minister also called for strong participation by women voters to uproot the Congress. On the upcoming elections he said the polls are not only about electing the next MLA but to decide who the people will give Gujarat and its future too.

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.
