During the first phase of elections in Chhattisgarh people turned out in large numbers to vote. They gave a befitting reply to those who spread fear among people: PM
Our mantra is 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' and we are committed that fruits of development reach every citizen: PM Modi
Atal Ji created Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. It was a peaceful division and both the states are progressing rapidly today: PM Modi
Congress does not want to credit people for choosing 'chaiwala' PM: Shri Modi
Congress is not ready to give credit for this to the 1.25 crore people of this country that a chaiwala became the PM, says Shri Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge rally today in the poll-bound state of Chhattisgarh. Addressing hundreds of enthusiastic supporters at Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh, he said that the large turnout of voters in the first stage of Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh was over-whelming and gave a befitting reply to those who want the people of Chhattisgarh to be fearful of them.

PM Modi further asserted that his government is not working for the benefit of the few and that his BJP government is fully committed to ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.’ PM Modi said that it is sad that the fruits of the country’s development are yet to reach ever citizen in the country even after decades of independence. Criticizing the previous Congress governments for serving their own interests rather than that of the country’s people, PM Modi described how the division of Madhya Pradesh and the creation of Chhattisgarh by former PM Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee had been a peaceful one where both the states are prospering while the division of Andhra Pradesh and creation of Telangana by the Congress government created much discord and communal tensions among both the states.

Elaborating further on the scathing attack launched by him on the Congress, PM Modi said, “The Congress party speaks about democratic ideals and say it was due to Pt. Nehru that Modi, a 'Chaiwala', could become the Prime Minister of India today. Let me respond to this statement-I would believe the Congress party’s commitment to democratic ideas if they elect someone their party president who does not belong to that one family, even if for just one term of five years.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi later took potshots at the Congress leaders for spreading misinformation about the Chhattisgarh government led by its Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh. Responding to the Congress’ criticism of the state government that the Raman Singh government did not do this or that, PM countered them with another question. He asked ‘If the Raman Singh government is not doing anything in Chhattisgarh, who stopped the Congress party from taking all these welfare initiatives while four generations of their family were ruling this country? Ask the Congress leaders what were they doing until now?”

 

 

Prime Minister Modi concluded his address by asking the voters to vote in huge numbers in the second stage of assembly elections to be held on 20th November in Chhattisgarh. 

I am glad to be among the people of Ambikapur today. I remember when I had campaigned here during Lok Sabha elections, people here had made the background resembling the Red Fort. But a few people got annoyed at this: PM @narendramodi https://t.co/3MrqM6YXeK

Prime Minister urges citizens to take precautions amid soaring temperatures across India
May 27, 2026
Prime Minister calls for vigilance, hydration and care for vulnerable people during heatwave
Prime Minister appeals to citizens to help birds, animals and those affected by extreme heat

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has urged citizens across the country to take all possible precautions amid soaring temperatures being witnessed in different parts of India.

Shri Modi urged people to stay hydrated, carry water while stepping out and extend help to others by offering them water during the harsh weather conditions.

The Prime Minister also advised people to remain alert to signs of heat exhaustion such as dizziness, nausea and extreme fatigue. He urged citizens to immediately help anyone feeling unwell, weak or suffering from headaches by moving them to a cool and shaded place and ensuring availability of water and ORS.

Shri Modi noted that children, elderly people and those working outdoors are especially vulnerable during extreme heat and cautioned that ignoring warning signs may lead to heatstroke.

Shri Modi also called upon people to regularly check on elderly parents, grandparents and loved ones during the heatwave and remind them to stay hydrated, avoid stepping out during peak afternoon hours and take adequate rest.

Emphasising compassion during extreme weather conditions, the Prime Minister appealed to citizens to keep bowls of water outside homes, balconies, terraces, shops and offices for birds and animals.

In a series of X posts, Shri Modi said;

“Different parts of India are witnessing soaring temperatures and the challenges that come with it. This heat is harsh on all of us and I urge you all to take as many precautions as possible. Please stay hydrated, keep water with you when stepping out. Offer a glass of water to others. In weather like this, such kindness goes a long way.”

“Watch for signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, nausea or extreme fatigue. If someone around you feels unusually unwell, weak or develops a headache, it is best to help move them to a cool and shaded place immediately. Ensure they get water, ORS etc. that helps them. Children, the elderly and those working outdoors are especially vulnerable during extreme heat. Ignoring these warning signs can quickly turn dangerous and may even lead to heatstroke. In such weather, timely care and attention go a long way.”

“Whenever possible, call and check on elderly parents, grandparents and loved ones during this heatwave. Remind them to stay hydrated, avoid stepping out in peak afternoon hours and take rest whenever possible.”

“In this extreme heat, let us also remember the birds and animals around us. A small bowl of water kept outside your home, balconies, terraces, shops or offices can become a lifeline for a thirsty bird. May compassion guide us in these difficult days.”

“देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में तापमान लगातार बढ़ रहा है और इसके साथ ही दैनिक जीवन में गर्मी से होने वाली कई कठिनाइयां भी बढ़ रही हैं। मैं सभी देशवासियों से आग्रह करता हूं कि जितनी अधिक सावधानी बरत सकें, अवश्य बरतें। कृपया स्वयं को हाइड्रेटेड रखें, घर से बाहर निकलते समय पानी साथ रखें। ऐसे मौसम में आपकी संवेदनशीलता भी बहुत बड़ा सहारा बन जाती है। यदि संभव हो, तो किसी प्यासे व्यक्ति को एक गिलास पानी अवश्य दें। मैं ऐसे लोगों की सराहना भी करूँगा जो अपने घरों के और दुकानों के बाहर मटके में जल रखते हैं ताकि कोई भी उनसे पानी पी सके।”

“अत्यधिक गर्मी से होने वाली परेशानी, जैसे चक्कर आना, मतली या ज्यादा थकान लगे तो उसे बिल्कुल भी नजरअंदाज न करें। यदि आपके आसपास किसी व्यक्ति को अचानक बेहोशी जैसा लगे, कमजोरी महसूस करे या फिर अस्वस्थ दिखाई दे, तो उसे तुरंत किसी ठंडी और छायादार जगह पर ले जाएं। उसे पानी, ORS या अन्य तरल पदार्थ दें, जिससे शरीर को राहत मिल सके। बच्चे, बुज़ुर्ग और धूप में काम करने वाले लोग इस भीषण गर्मी में सबसे अधिक प्रभावित होते हैं। समय रहते ध्यान न देने पर यह स्थिति हीटस्ट्रोक जैसी गंभीर समस्या का रूप ले सकती है। ऐसे समय में आपकी सतर्कता और देखभाल किसी का जीवन बचा सकती है।”

“जब भी संभव हो, अपने माता-पिता, दादा-दादी, नाना-नानी और अन्य प्रियजनों को फोन कर उनका हालचाल अवश्य पूछें। उन्हें पर्याप्त पानी पीने, दोपहर की तेज धूप में बाहर न निकलने और जितना हो सके, आराम करने की सलाह दें।”

“इस प्रचंड गर्मी में हमें अपने आसपास के पशु-पक्षियों को भी नहीं भूलना चाहिए। अपने घर, बालकनी, छत, दुकान या ऑफिस के बाहर पानी से भरा एक छोटा-सा बर्तन रखना भी किसी प्यासे पक्षी के लिए जीवनदान बन सकता है। आइए, इन कठिन दिनों में पूरी संवेदनशीलता और करुणा के साथ एक-दूसरे का ध्यान रखें।”
