Our government has brought the most comprehensive crop insurance scheme for farmers, they are immensely benefitting from it: PM Modi
Congress always puts its personal interests first and people's interest last: PM Modi
Because of Congress' corruption, because they believe in dividing people on the grounds of caste, Congress is being rejected by people of every state: PM
We are ensuring affordable and quality healthcare for all. Through Jan Aushadhi Kendras, the poor and middle class people have been immensely benefited: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two huge public meeting at Vidisha and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh today. These rallies come in a series of other similar rallies by the PM as the state of Madhya Pradesh heads to the polls on 28th November, 2018.

PM Modi began his address to the people of Vidisha by applauding them for turning up in large numbers, which he said shows the resounding belief that the people of Madhya Pradesh have for the BJP government headed by CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan. He said, “At all the rallies I have addressed, I have witnessed the public’s faith in the BJP has been increasing day-by-day while the negativity espoused by the Congress is finding no takers these days.”

He attributed this to the cheap and low levels of politics that the Congress has indulged in the recent past, going so far to the extent of making personal attacks on the Prime Minister and his parents. Reacting to such derogatory comments, PM Modi said, “We never do personal attacks on anyone’s family. We criticise people on the basis of the posts they held or the things they did. But why are the Congress leaders doing personal attacks on my parents. This is absolutely unacceptable.”

Prime Minister Modi then put this scenario in stark contrast with the 15 years of transparency and good governance pioneered under the Shivraj Singh government. He said that the difference between 55 years of misrule and division by the Congress and 15 years of transparent governance by the BJP government is for everyone to see.

Talking about the strides Madhya Pradesh has taken in the agriculture sector under the incumbent government, PM Modi highlighted how this government has brought the most comprehensive crop insurance scheme for farmers, who are immensely benefitting from it.

He said, “The Congress’ false talk of ensuring the welfare of farmers can be best seen in Karnataka, where it formed the government on the promise of waiving off farmers’ loans. However, we all can see that now the farmers there are in distress, warrants are being issued against them for non-payment of their loans and they are being arrested. Now, would anyone want to trust such a party to work for the welfare of farmers in Madhya Pradesh,?” he asked.

Beginning his address in Jabalpur, Prime Minister Modi congratulated the people for turning out in large numbers to hear him out. Later, he lashed out at the previous Congress governments in Madhya Pradesh and in the Centre for neglecting the welfare of the common people and instead putting their personal interests first.

He listed out states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and others where people have rejected the negative, corrupt politics of the Congress for decades and have not let it come back to power ever since due to their massive disappointment with the Congress governments. PM Modi reiterated some key schemes launched by BJP government which wil have a transformative impact on the lives of common people in the country in the future.

These include huge reductions in the costs of LED bulbs, opening up of hundreds of Jan Aushadi Kendras across the country to reduce the cost of essential medicines, expanding the Optical Fibre Network coverage in India to more than 1,00,000 villages and the massive increase in power generation capacity of Madhya Pradesh from 3,000 MW in last 55 years to 18,000+ MW in the last 15 years under CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan's current government.

Concluding his address, PM Modi urged the people to keep these incidents in mind on the voting day. He asked his supporters to strengthen the democracy of the country and turn out to vote in large numbers to support the BJP and give the Shivraj Singh government a resounding victory.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed the foundation stone-laying ceremony of the Kota Airport via video message today, marking a significant milestone for the Hadoti region. “Rajasthan is progressing at an unprecedented pace, with the new airport set to become a catalyst for economic and industrial growth”, Shri Modi emphasized.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister noted his recent visit to Ajmer where development projects worth thousands of crores were inaugurated and appointment letters were handed over to over 21,000 youth. He stated that these back-to-back programs within a week send a powerful message about the state’s development trajectory, noting that "they tell us at what speed Rajasthan is moving forward today."

The Prime Minister highlighted that today is a day of new hope for Kota, Bundi, Baran, and Jhalawar as the modern airport, built at a cost of approximately 1,500 crore rupees, begins to take shape. While extending his best wishes to the people of the region, Shri Modi remarked, "This modern airport is going to give new momentum to the development of the entire region in the coming times."

Recalling his visit in November 2023, the Prime Minister expressed satisfaction that the promise made to the people regarding the airport is now being fulfilled. Transitioning from the previous inconvenience of traveling to Jaipur or Jodhpur for flights, Shri Modi asserted, "When this airport starts, travel will be easy and trade will grow rapidly in the entire area including Kota."

The Prime Minister described Kota as a unique center of both education and energy, producing electricity from nuclear, coal, gas, and water sources. Shri Modi praised the global identity of Kota Doria sarees, Kota stone, and local agricultural produce like Bundi’s Basmati rice, asserting that "this new airport in Kota will work to multiply these possibilities many times over."

Discussing the region's potential for tourism, the Prime Minister mentioned the spiritual significance of Shri Mathuradhish Ji and Garadia Mahadev alongside wildlife hubs like Mukundara Hills. “The enhanced air connectivity would bring global tourists to the region, and its direct benefit will be available to the youth, traders, and local economy here", Shri Modi emphasised.

The Prime Minister also touched upon the broader connectivity revolution in Kota, including the modernization of railway stations under the Amrit Bharat scheme and the impact of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Highlighting the shift toward agro-based industries, Shri Modi stated, "this new chapter of air connectivity after rail and road will give more speed to the development of Kota."

Acknowledging the efforts of local leadership, the Prime Minister lauded Kota MP and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for his dedication to the region's progress. Commenting on Shri Birla’s role in the Parliament, the Prime Minister remarked that "he is a teacher who handles the entire class well, even when facing unruly students from certain big families."

Reflecting on the national aviation landscape, the Prime Minister noted that the number of airports has increased from 70 in 2014 to over 160 today. Pointing to new terminals and airports near Delhi as examples of decentralized growth, Shri Modi expressed, "I am confident that this new airport of Kota will also give new momentum to the development of this area in the same way."

In his concluding remarks, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of the "Double Engine" government and clear intentions in achieving rapid progress. He envisioned a prosperous and empowered state, concluding that "this strong foundation of Developed Rajasthan is giving more strength to the resolution of Developed India.”
