The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today addressed a massive public meeting at Thrissur in Kerala.

The Prime Minister was greeted enthusiastically by the waiting crowd as he arrived from Kochi. Beginning his address, the Prime Minister said that he actually wanted to begin his Kerala visit with darshan at Sabarimala, but eventually told his team that the visit should be organised only at a time when it causes minimum inconvenience to pilgrims.

The Prime Minister said that the great saints of Kerala had removed untouchability from society, but political untouchability was still being practised by some in the State. He said many Party Karyakartas have been killed for political reasons. The Prime Minister paid homage to the martyred Karyakartas. He said there is a lot to learn from the Karyakartas of Kerala, who toiled selflessly for decades despite there being no hope of a BJP victory.

The Prime Minister thanked the people of Kerala for the blessings they had given the party in the recent municipal elections.

The Prime Minister said that during his recent visit to the UAE, he had met a lot of people from Kerala. He said the welfare of Indians working and living abroad was a foremost priority for his Government. He recounted how Indians trapped in adverse conditions in West Asia had been rescued, including a large number of people from Kerala.

The Prime Minister said India is a youthful nation and his Government is working towards creating job opportunities for the youth. The Make in India initiative was aimed at encouraging investment which would create jobs for the youth.

The Prime Minister said recent economic indicators were extremely encouraging. He said the youth of Kerala are innovative and talented, and the Union Government is working on ensuring that loans are available to youth for study, skill development and entrepreneurship. The Prime Minister spoke of the Digital India Initiative, and his vision for the fishermen, and for rubber plantations.

The Prime Minister declared that a third political alternative had emerged in Kerala, which would root out corruption and bring relief to people from the problems faced by them.

PM Modi expresses heartfelt gratitude on completion of 23 years as head of government
October 07, 2024

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed his heartfelt gratitude for completing 23 years as the head of a government. Shri Modi recalled his time as the Chief Minister of Gujarat and said that Gujarat emerged as a shining example of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,’ ensuring prosperity for all sections of society. Reflecting on the past decade, the Prime Minister said that India’s developmental strides have ensured that our country is being viewed with utmost optimism globally. He reassured the citizens he would keep working tirelessly and not rest till the collective goal of a Viksit Bharat is realised.

The Prime Minister posted a thread on X:

“#23YearsOfSeva…

A heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has sent their blessings and good wishes as I complete 23 years as the head of a government. It was on October 7, 2001, that I took on the responsibility of serving as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. It was the greatness of my Party, @BJP4India, to task a humble Karyakarta like me with the responsibility of heading the state administration.”

“When I assumed office as CM, Gujarat was facing numerous challenges - the 2001 Kutch Earthquake, before that a Super Cyclone, a massive drought, and the legacy of many decades of Congress misrule like loot, communalism and casteism. Powered by Jana Shakti, we rebuilt Gujarat and propelled it to new heights of progress, even in a sector like agriculture, for which the state was not traditionally known.”

“During my 13 years as Chief Minister, Gujarat emerged as a shining example of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,’ ensuring prosperity for all sections of society. In 2014, the people of India blessed my Party with a record mandate, thus enabling me to serve as Prime Minister. This was a historic moment, as it marked the first time in 30 years that a party secured a full majority.”

“Over the past decade, we have been able to address several challenges our nation faces. Over 25 crore people have been freed from the clutches of poverty. India has become the fifth largest economy and this has particularly helped our MSMEs, StartUps sector and more. New avenues of prosperity have opened for our hardworking farmers, Nari Shakti, Yuva Shakti and the poor as well as marginalized sections of society.”

“India’s developmental strides have ensured that our country is being viewed with utmost optimism globally. The world is keen to engage with us, invest in our people and be a part of our success. At the same time, India is working extensively to overcome global challenges be it climate change, improving healthcare, realising SDGs and more.”

“Much has been achieved over the years but there is still more to be done. The learnings over these 23 years enabled us to come up with pioneering initiatives which have made an impact both nationally and globally. I assure my fellow Indians that I will keep working tirelessly, with even more vigour in service of the people. I will not rest till our collective goal of a Viksit Bharat is realised.”
