BJP believes in Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. BJP believes that India can only develop when North, South, East and West all develop: PM Modi
Honest taxpaying citizens are the backbone of the country as they contribute to the country from their hard-earned money: PM Modi
With the rolling out of GST, there are around 150 items that attract zero per cent tax and some 400 items that have taxes on them reduced: PM
It is our firm belief that a healthy India is a pre-condition for a prosperous India, says PM Modi
In a historic step, the MSP has been increased to ensure that farmers get at least 150% of the cost of production: PM Modi
We are not like the Congress, which will only pay lip service to farmers but ignore their well-being. Wherever Congress is in power, farmers suffer: PM Modi
For Congress, national security and defence sector is either a punching bag or a funding source: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with booth-level Karyakartas of BJP in Tamil Nadu today. The video interaction is one of the many such interactions of PM Modi with the booth level Karyakartas.

Beginning his interaction, PM Modi praised the Tamil language and culture saying it is one of the oldest in the world. PM Modi further said, “BJP believes in Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. We believe that India can only develop when the North, South, East and West all develop equally.”

Responding to a question raised by a Karyakarta in Kanyakumari, Prime Minister Modi said that the people of middle class in this country have always contributed and sacrificied a lot for the nation’s progress without asking for anything in return. In this regard, he gave several examples of the significant contributions of the middle class people to ensure better living standards for all. He described, “Honest tax paying citizens are the backbone of the country as they contribute to the country’s progress with their hard-earned money.”

PM Modi then interacted with Karyakartas from Namakkal where he was asked about his views on the healthcare system in India. To this, he replied, “It is our firm belief that a healthy India is a pre-condition to a prosperous India. Healthcare must be affordable for all if we want to ensure India’s growth.” He further listed out key healthcare initiatives launched under his government which will go a long way in fulfilling this goal of a healthy India.

The last leg of PM’s interaction with party workers saw him scathingly criticise the Congress for not only ignoring the national security of the country but also for the widespread corruption that bred under its watch. Lashing out at the Congress, he said, “Sadly, for the Congress, national security and the defence sector is either a punching bag or a source of funding. They looted the defence sector under numerous scams from the jeep scam in the 40s and 50s to the Bofors scam in the 80s and several others like Augusta even after that. They are only concerned about the money even if that damages the morale and safety of our forces.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit under-construction Bullet Train Station in Surat
November 14, 2025
PM to Review Progress of Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor
Bullet Train to Cut Mumbai–Ahmedabad Travel Time to About Two Hours

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat on 15th November. At around 10 AM, Prime Minister will visit the under-construction Bullet Train Station in Surat to review the progress of the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR) — one of India’s most ambitious infrastructure projects symbolizing the nation’s leap into the era of high-speed connectivity.

The MAHSR spans approximately 508 kilometres, covering 352 km in Gujarat and Dadra & Nagar Haveli, and 156 km in Maharashtra. The corridor will connect major cities including Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Anand, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Bilimora, Vapi, Boisar, Virar, Thane, and Mumbai, marking a transformative step in India’s transportation infrastructure.

Built with advanced engineering techniques on par with international standards, the project features 465 km (about 85% of the route) on viaducts, ensuring minimal land disturbance and enhanced safety. So far, 326 km of viaduct work has been completed, and 17 out of 25 river bridges have already been constructed.

Upon completion, the Bullet Train will reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to nearly two hours, revolutionizing inter-city travel by making it faster, easier, and more comfortable. The project is expected to boost business, tourism, and economic activity along the entire corridor, catalyzing regional development.

The Surat–Bilimora section, covering around 47 km, is in an advanced stage of completion, with civil works and track-bed laying fully completed. The design of the Surat station draws inspiration from the city’s world-renowned diamond industry, reflecting both elegance and functionality. The station has been designed with a strong focus on passenger comfort, featuring spacious waiting lounges, restrooms, and retail outlets. It will also offer seamless multi-modal connectivity with the Surat Metro, city buses, and the Indian Railways network.
