It is clear in the 1st phase of polling that Chhattisgarh is going to be Congress-free soon: PM Modi
Victory for BJP in Chhattisgarh means rapid development, fulfilling dreams of youth, empowerment of women, and an end to rampant corruption: PM Modi
Congress only wants to make and keep people poor so that it can perpetually loot you all: PM Modi
Congress even hated BR Ambedkar ensuring a premature end to his political career: PM Modi
Congress can go to any extent for their appeasement politics. What they did with the Satnami community is a vibrant example of the same: PM Modi
For the last 5 years, the Congress government here has stopped every work for the public's welfare. The only goal of Congress is to loot Chhattisgarh and fill its coffers: PM Modi

Ahead of the Assembly Election, PM Modi addressed two massive public meetings in Mungeli and Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh. He said, “It is clear in the 1st phase of polling that Chhattisgarh is going to be Congress-free soon.” He added that he is thankful to the youth and the women of the state who voted in favor of the state’s development. PM Modi stated, “Victory for BJP in Chhattisgarh means rapid development, fulfilling dreams of youth, empowerment of women, and an end to rampant corruption.”

On the state of Congress in Chhattisgarh, PM Modi said, “The youth, women, and farmers of the state of Chhattisgarh have made sure of the defeat of Congress.” PM Modi added that as the Congress has accepted its defeat it is now relying on falsity and is making false promises to the people of Chhattisgarh. He added that CM Baghel-led corruption by the Congress has betrayed the trust of all the voters who had helped the Congress form the Government.

On the various mathematical models of the Congress-led corruption, PM Modi said, “The Congress-led Rs. 508 crore corruption in the Mahadev Betting Scandal is very well known”. He added that there is even an audio file that showcases Congress-led corruption in seat allocation for contesting the elections in Chhattisgarh. PM Modi stated that Congress-led corruption has also resurfaced in its attempt at enabling political favouritism in the PSC exams. They have also fooled the women of the state by making them a false promise of an alcohol ban.

On the development of the state of Chhattisgarh, PM Modi said, “With the blessings of the people, BJP should form a Government in Chhattisgarh soon to facilitate robust development under a ‘Double-engine Sarkar.’ He added that Modi’s guarantee is the fulfilment of all guarantees. PM Modi said, “Congress only wants to make and keep people poor so that it can perpetually loot you all.”

On the hate of Congress for the people of India, PM Modi lamented, “Congress hates me and their increased levels of hatred has also made them hate my caste.” He added that the Congress’ hatred for the poor and downtrodden people of India is well-known. PM Modi said, “Congress even hated BR Ambedkar ensuring a premature end to his political career.” He added that their regressive mindset has made them not grant adequate opportunities to the Janjatiyas for their empowerment and development.

Highlighting the politics of appeasement of Congress, PM Modi said, “Congress can go to any extent for their appeasement politics. What they did with the Satnami community is an example of the same.” He added that Congress does not care for Dalits, Janjatiyas, and OBCs in India.

Highlighting Congress-led underdevelopment of India, PM Modi said that it is the Congress that is solely responsible for the poverty and underdevelopment in India. On the contrary, the BJP has enabled the exit of 13.5 crore people from poverty in just 5 years, PM Modi added. “It is Modi’s guarantee that has enabled people free ration, pucca houses, free health and quality medicines,” PM Modi said. He added, “How times have changed when under Rajiv Gandhi Government out of the Rs. 100 earmarked only Rs. 15 would reach people, while today medicines worth Rs. 100 are being sold at Rs. 20. This is Modi’s promise,” he added.

In his second rally in Mahasamund, PM Modi thanked the people of Chhattisgarh for ensuring the defeat of Congress here, he said, “Congratulations because the voting that took place in the first phase on 7th November has burst the balloon of lies of Congress. Today the whole of Chhattisgarh is saying in one voice – BJP is back. 7th and 17th November together are ensuring the departure of 'Kakka', who holds 30% of the Congress' share, from the government.”

“For the last 5 years, the Congress government here has stopped every work for the public's welfare. The only goal of Congress is to loot Chhattisgarh and fill its coffers. When the Congress government that looted Chhattisgarh will lose, when the BJP government that develops Chhattisgarh will come into power here, then Chhattisgarh will reach the height of development that this state deserves. As a result, Bhupesh Baghel faces formidable challenges in securing a position as an MLA in the upcoming elections,” he added.

Talking about Chhattisgarh’s cultural heritage and natural beauty. PM Modi said, “Mahasamund has been the capital of South Kosal and has been the center of knowledge. BJP is engaged in extensive expansion of tourism related facilities and pilgrimage areas in the country. Wherever there are traces of Lord Ram, those places are being connected with modern facilities through the Ramayana Circuit Scheme. Similarly, under the Tribal Circuit Scheme, facilities are being developed in places related to tribal culture. When BJP government is formed here, this campaign will also gain momentum. This will provide thousands of jobs to the youth of Chhattisgarh.”


“BJP has ensured the development of the people while also preserving India’s local traditions and cultural heritage. Modi’s guarantee means the fulfilment of all guarantees,” added PM Modi. He appealed to all the voters to vote for the BJP to ensure steadfast commitment to the development of the state of Chhattisgarh.

PM in Andhra Pradesh

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, Andhra Pradesh. Developed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode at a cost of over ₹5,640 crore, the Greenfield airport has been designed to handle 6 million passengers annually.

The passenger terminal building has been designed to provide a modern, seamless and efficient travel experience. The airport incorporates advanced infrastructure, cutting-edge technologies and sustainable features to enhance operational efficiency and meet future aviation requirements.

The airport has been equipped with advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Building Information Modelling (BIM), Airside 4.0 technologies, Airport Predictive Operations Centre (APOC), biometric passenger processing, automated baggage handling systems and intelligent operational monitoring solutions. These systems are expected to enhance operational efficiency, improve passenger convenience and safety, and optimise resource utilisation.

The project incorporates several sustainability features, including energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, energy-efficient lighting, a 5 MW solar power plant, rainwater harvesting, smart building management systems, waste management initiatives, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and environmental monitoring measures. The terminal has been designed in accordance with Green Building Standards and is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

The airport's architectural design draws inspiration from the cultural heritage of Andhra Pradesh. The terminal's roof profile reflects the traditional Chuttilu cottages and the landscapes of the Araku Valley, while its flowing form symbolises the graceful movement of a flying fish, blending regional architectural elements with contemporary airport design. The airport is expected to provide a significant boost to tourism, trade, investment and employment generation in Andhra Pradesh while strengthening air connectivity in the region.

Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of the ASIP Semiconductor Project at Visakhapatnam, being developed with an investment of over ₹460 crore. The facility is being developed by ASIP Technologies Pvt Ltd in partnership with APACT, Republic of Korea. It is Andhra Pradesh's first semiconductor manufacturing facility approved under the India Semiconductor Mission. The facility will manufacture around 96 million semiconductor chips annually and create high-skilled employment opportunities, while also fostering a robust ancillary ecosystem to support semiconductor manufacturing.

Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for the Transmission System for Integration of Kurnool-IV Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) - Phase-I (4.5 GW), being implemented by POWERGRID through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), with an investment of about ₹5,550 crore.

Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Transmission System for Kurnool Wind Energy Zone / Solar Energy Zone (Andhra Pradesh) – Part A & Part B, implemented at a cost of around ₹3,550 crore, and the Transmission Scheme for Solar Energy Zone in Ananthapuram (2,500 MW) and Kurnool (1,000 MW), implemented by POWERGRID at a cost of over ₹820 crore.

These transmission projects will enable the evacuation of power generated from the renewable energy zones in Kurnool and Ananthapuram and the transmission of power to beneficiaries across the country through the National Grid. They will facilitate the integration of a large quantum of renewable energy into the grid, improve the availability of clean power for demand centres, and contribute to India's energy transition and decarbonisation efforts by reducing dependence on fossil fuel-based power generation.

Prime Minister will dedicate to the nation and lay the foundation stone of National Highway projects worth over ₹1,880 crore. The projects to be dedicated include the four-lane access-controlled Greenfield highway from Recherla to Guruvaygudem section of NH-365BG, the four-lane access-controlled Greenfield highway from Guruvaygudem to Devarapalle section of NH-365BG, and the four-lane Tadipatri Bypass on NH-67. Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone of the high-level bridge at Lingasamudram on the Penchalakona–Yerpedu section of NH-565. These projects will ease congestion in Vijayawada and several other cities, improve road safety, reduce travel distance and travel time between Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad, and promote regional connectivity.

PM in Karnataka

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Youth Centre - Viveka Smaraka at Mysuru, Karnataka.

The Viveka Smaraka commemorates Swami Vivekananda's historic visit to Mysuru in November 1892 during his journey across India. During his stay, he delivered discourses, interacted with scholars and devotees, and received the patronage of Maharaja Sri Chamarajendra Wadiyar X, whose support enabled his journey to the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893.

Established at the historic Niranjana Math, the Viveka Smaraka is spread across a built-up area of over 81,000 square feet and comprises a main building and an annex block. It houses a 4-D Experience Centre, an exhibition hall, an amphitheatre with a seating capacity of around 700, classrooms, conference rooms, a library, a reading room, a meditation and yoga hall, and a book stall. The centre also includes dedicated facilities for students preparing for competitive examinations.

Dedicated to the life, message and ideals of Swami Vivekananda, the Cultural Youth Centre aims to serve as a vibrant hub for value-based education, leadership development and personality building. It is expected to benefit more than 10,000 students from nearby educational institutions, as well as urban and rural youth, through lectures, workshops, short-term courses and capacity-building programmes inspired by Swami Vivekananda's philosophy of nation-building and character development.
