Opposition spreading lies and rumours about Citizenship Amendment Act, but people of Delhi understand this: PM Modi

In the run-up to the Delhi assembly elections, PM Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Dwarka today. Speaking at a huge rally, PM Narendra Modi said that people of Delhi are in favour of the BJP. He said that the opposition parties are having sleepless nights.

“The upcoming Delhi elections are the first elections of this decade. This decade will belong to India. India's development will depend on the decisions taken today,” he added furthermore.

Taking a dig at the AAP government, PM Narendra Modi said, “Political differences are a common thing among parties, but is it fine to block the development work for the poor due to these differences? But this is what we are witnessing in Delhi today.”

PM Narendra Modi alleged that the AAP government was stalling Central government schemes in Delhi. Referring to the non-implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, he said, "suppose a person who goes to Hyderabad for work, needs to be admitted to a hospital for some reason. Will this Mohalla Clinic go there?" He asked, “why are the people of Delhi deprived of benefits of Central government's schemes for housing and health.”

The PM said that Delhi could not be developed with politics of vote bank, hate; one should have intention of serving poor and take tough decisions to work for development. Accusing the AAP, PM Modi asserted, “People in Delhi government raised questions over surgical strike and Balakot air strikes by our forces. I have full faith in people of Delhi that they will give reply to such people.”

“For the last five years, the way the central government has been working is unprecedented; since Independence, this has never happened. The number of bank accounts opened for the poor has outnumbered the population of the US; Ayushman Bharat scheme benefited the number of people that outnumbers the combined population of Mexico, Canada and the US,” PM Modi remarked.

PM Modi said that over 1700 illegal colonies have been regularised. How can Delhi forget the subject of right to homes to 40 lakh people? Without taking the name of AAP, he said that those in power in the national capital, "were trying to somehow avoid this matter for another two years".

In Dwarka, Prime Minister Modi raised the issue of the amended Citizenship law and said, "Delhi needs a government that will stand by the Central government on major decisions like CAA. You must punish those who insult our forces. The Delhi government is spreading lies on the issue and the Opposition is provoking the people against the CAA."

Highlighting the commitments fulfilled by his government, the PM said that our government had started a scheme to provide monthly pension of Rs 3,000 for senior citizens and also, our government had completed Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressway work, which was stuck for years. “We are trying to introduce 'One Nation, One Ration Card' scheme to ensure that people who migrate to other states for work are not deprived of benefits,” he added furthermore.

Calling for high voter turnout, PM Modi requested citizens of Delhi to come out and vote in large numbers on February 8, 2020.

Khelo India Dialogue will bring together sports, youth leadership, civic responsibility, volunteering, fitness and nation-building on a common platform
Yuva Samvaad under Khelo India Dialogue to Focus on Five Key Themes: Sports, Olympic Aspirations, Youth Leadership, Viksit Bharat and Nasha Mukt Yuva

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address Khelo India Dialogue on 27th August at 11 AM via video conferencing. The programme aims to help the youth engage with India's sporting journey, share their aspirations, and contribute ideas for a stronger youth-led Viksit Bharat.

Organised by Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat), as part of the National Sports Day 2026 celebrations, the programme will be conducted across the country with participation of youth at two colleges in every district across States and Union Territories. The programme is being held in line with the Prime Minister's vision of building a fit, disciplined and sporting nation while placing the aspirations of youth at the centre of the national development agenda.

The nationwide Khelo India Dialogue will bring together sports, youth leadership, civic responsibility, volunteering, fitness and nation-building on a common platform. It will provide a direct channel for young people to engage with the country's sporting ambitions, while ensuring that their ideas and perspectives become part of the continuing conversation on India's youth and sports ecosystem.

The national programme will be followed by local interactions involving young participants, MY Bharat volunteers, local sportspersons and public representatives. A major feature of the initiative will be direct interaction between youth having interest in sports and leading Indian athletes and medal winners. A central feature of the programme will be Yuva Samvaad where Young participants will be invited to articulate their own ideas, perspectives and aspirations. The dialogue will be structured around five themes:

  • improving India's sports ecosystem through better facilities, coaching, sports science and inclusive participation;
  • nurturing talent for the 2036 Olympics via scientific talent identification, transparent selection and long-term athlete development;
  • creating youth leaders through governance platforms and MY Bharat-led volunteering;
  • empowering youth for Viksit Bharat by building civic mindedness, future-ready skills and structured volunteering;
  • promoting a Nasha Mukt Yuva movement that leverages sport and peer networks to fight substance abuse, reinforced by weekly Jan Bhagidari activities under PM's 100-week nationwide campaign launched on 2 August 2026.
