For ten years, the Centre was ruled by a 'remote-control' government which never paid attention towards Chhattisgarh: PM Modi
I challenge the Congress to select someone capable as their party president who doesn't belong to that one family: PM Modi
Congress always puts one family first and the nation’s welfare secondary: PM Modi
Congress makes fake promises. They must answer what they did for welfare of our farmers when they ruled for four generations. They kept the farmers in distress: PM
Congress believed in 'telephone-banking' which ruined the banks. A phone call from them would get loans for the cronies cleared and the nation had to suffer: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh . The public meeting saw a large presence of supporters waiting to hear from the PM.

Prime Minister Modi began his address by hitting out at the Congress saying, “For ten years, the Centre was ruled by a ‘remote-control’ government which never paid attention to Chhattisgarh.”

Terming the upcoming Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh extremely crucial for the future of the state and its people, PM Modi said, “Chhattisgah is 18 years old now. This time is extremely crucial for this state. Just like parents care for the future of their children when they turn 18, I urge all the people of Chhattisgarh to think about the future of Chhattisgarh and give BJP a chance to serve the state in the coming years.”

Talking about how the country had given four generations of a single family to rule the country, Prime Minister Modi said, “Everyone knows what this family did to this country and its people. They always put their family first and the nation’s welfare secondary.”

Repeating his earlier challenge to the Congress again, PM Modi said, “I challenge the Congress to elect someone outside from the Gandhi family as the party’s President for 5 years. Let us all see the Congress’ internal democracy.”

The PM alleged the Congress of making false promises to farmers. Listing out various farmer-friendly measures like Soil Health Cards, Fasal Bima Yojana and 100 per cent neem coating of urea initiated by the NDA Government, PM Modi said, “Congress kept the farmers in distress. If they would have strengthened the farmers, fulfilled their requirements, our farmers would have been prosperous.”

Speaking briefly about the Mudra Yojana, PM Modi shed light on how it has given wings to the aspirations of several youth. The PM said, “We have sanctioned loans for people who have small business without any guarantee. This has empowered them and is significantly strengthening the economy.”

PM Modi also attacked the Congress for the NPA mess and said, “The Congress believed in 'telephone-banking' which ruined the banks. A phone call from them would get loans for the cronies cleared and the nation had to suffer.”

The meeting concluded with Prime Minister Modi listing out several key initiatives of the state and Central government for the welfare and empowerment of the poor, the marginalized people of the country before urging everyone to come out in large numbers and vote in the upcoming elections.

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the role of teachers on Guru Purnima
July 29, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, extended his heartfelt greetings to the people of the country on the occasion of Guru Purnima. He said that, along with imparting knowledge, teachers infuse their students with positive energy and shape them through noble thoughts and values. The Prime Minister called upon everyone to make the ideals of their gurus a guiding force in their lives.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“प्रेरकः सूचकश्चैव वाचको दर्शकस्तथा।

शिक्षकः बोधकश्चैव षडेते गुरवः स्मृताः॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that one who provides the right direction, imparts knowledge and truth, shows the righteous path, offers education and awakens an understanding of truth in life, paving the way for self-development. These are regarded as the six forms of a Guru.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“गुरु पूर्णिमा की सभी देशवासियों को बहुत-बहुत बधाई। गुरु ज्ञान के साथ ही अपने शिष्यों में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा का संचार कर उन्हें सुविचार और सुसंस्कारों से सुशिक्षित करते हैं। आइए, उनके आदर्शों को अपने जीवन का संबल बनाएं।

प्रेरकः सूचकश्चैव वाचको दर्शकस्तथा।

शिक्षकः बोधकश्चैव षडेते गुरवः स्मृताः॥”
