Addressing a huge gathering in Puducherry today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Moments ago, a large number of development works were inaugurated. These development works cover roads, healthcare, education, culture, sport and marine economy. The impact of these works is going to be huge.”

“In Puducherry I am seeing great happiness. This joy is for two reasons: First, there are many development works that have been inaugurated today. Second, the people of Puducherry are celebrating freedom from the mis-governance of Congress,” he said,

Hitting out at the Congress-led government, PM Modi said, “In 2016, Puducherry did not get a people’s government. They got a Government that was busy serving the Congress High Command in Delhi. Their priorities were very different. Your former Chief Minister was an expert at lifting the slippers of his top party leaders. But, he did not have the interest to lift people out of poverty.”

Urging the citizens to vote for the NDA, he asserted, “Puducherry deserves a Government whose high command is the people of Puducherry not a small group of Congress leaders sitting in Delhi. NDA assures Puducherry - the next government will be a people-powered government.”

“The high command Congress government in Puducherry made it a point to damage every sector of governance. Traditional mills closed. Local industry was troubled. Congress doesn't belive in working for the people,” he added.

Sharing an incident with the public attending the meeting, PM Modi said, “A few days ago the entire nation saw a video. A helpless woman was complaining about Puducherry government and CM neglect during cyclone and floods. One could see the pain in her eyes. One could hear the pain in her voice. Instead of telling the truth to the nation, the former Puducherry CM gave a wrong translation of the woman’s words. He lied to the people and his own leader. Can a party whose culture is based on lies ever serve people?”

Reprimanding the Congress party for not conduction election in Puducherry, PM Modi stated, “The Congress leaves no opportunity to call others anti-democratic. But, they need to look at themselves in the mirror. They insult democracy in every possible way. In Puducherry they have refused to hold Panchayat polls. The Supreme Court has said the polls should be held. Yet, the Congress Government in Puducherry did not.”

Attacking the Congress party, PM Modi asserted, “The Congress culture you saw in Puducherry for five years is how the party works nationally. Our colonial rulers had the policy of divide and rule. Congress has a policy of divide, lie and rule.”

“People all over India are rejecting Congress. For the first time in India’s history, they have under hundred seats in the Parliament. The Congress culture of feudal politics, dynasty politics, patronage politics is ending,” he added.

Talking about making Puducherry best, PM Modi asserted, “If you ask me to share my manifesto for Puducherry in a few words, I will say: I want Puducherry to be the Best. NDA wants to make Puducherry the best. By best I meant - B for Business Hub, E for Education Hub, S for Spiritual Hub and T for Tourism Hub.”

Speaking at the rally, the Prime Minister remarked, “NDA’s focus area will be to improve education infrastructure in Puducherry. India has got a National Education Policy in 2020. This policy will change the ways of learning. It also shifts focus to creating more centres of education. Also, Puducherry is a beautiful confluence of many cultures. This is a wonderful place to become a hub for spiritual tourism.
People can come here to discover themselves.”

Speaking on irregularities made by the Congress party, PM Modi stated, “The ‘High Command’ Government of Congress did not manage the cooperatives properly. Many of them had to close down. I come from Gujarat, where the cooperative movement has transformed many lives. NDA Government will work to make the cooperatives sector in Puducherry vibrant.”

“When you all vote this time, reject the anti-development forces. Support NDA’s good governance agenda. Give Puducherry a Government that will restore its glory,” Prime Minister Modi said.
