Congress can play whatever games it wants to, but no one can stop Modi from taking Chhattisgarh ahead. Modi is son of poor, understand their pain: PM Modi
Modi is guarantee of action against corruption. One who has done wrong, won't be spared: PM Modi in Raipur
Congress cannot breathe without corruption. Corruption is Congress ideology. It is a guarantee of commission: PM Modi
Chhattisgarh is like an ATM for Congress: PM Modi in Raipur

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur. PM Modi expressed, "The formation of Chhattisgarh saw a significant contribution from the BJP. We possess a profound understanding of the people of Chhattisgarh and are well-aware of their requirements. Consequently, the government of BJP in Delhi is fully committed to propelling the rapid progress of Chhattisgarh."


Criticizing the Congress party for failing to deliver on their commitments, Prime Minister Modi remarked, "Among the thirty-six promises made by the Congress to Chhattisgarh was the pledge to impose a prohibition on liquor in the state. However, rather than implementing a ban, the Congress has been involved in a liquor scam worth thousands of crores in Chhattisgarh. This indicates that the Congress party has betrayed the trust of the mothers and sisters of Chhattisgarh as well as the state itself."


Furthermore, PM Modi said, “In Chhattisgarh, there is hardly any department or project that is free from scam. The coal mafia, sand mafia, and land mafia, among numerous others, have thrived unchecked. They have even impeded the progress of the Jal Jeevan Mission. From the state's leadership to ministers and officials, serious allegations of corruption have been levelled.”


PM Modi remarked, “Today the Government of Chhattisgarh has become a model of corruption and misrule of the Congress. That's why today only one voice is being raised from Chhattisgarh all around – ‘Badalbi, Badalbo,… Ae Dari Congress Ke Sarkaarle Badalbo’.”


Coming heavily on opposition parties, PM Modi asserted, “Some people get angry when I say that Congress is the guarantee of corruption and commission. They resort to cursing Modi. However, their displeasure serves as evidence that our government is moving in the right direction. Those who engage in corrupt practices are attempting to unite against us today. Those who were once bitter enemies are now seeking excuses to come together. They believe that by doing so, they can intimidate and disorient Modi.”


“However, they should understand this: if they guarantee corruption, then Modi guarantees decisive action against corruption. Those who have committed wrongdoings will not escape accountability. I have the courage to state this boldly because everything I have, everything I am, has been bestowed upon me by you, by our nation. These individuals may threaten to bury me, and conspire against me, but fear has no place in Modi's heart,” he added.


PM Modi talked about the several schemes and developments that helped the state. He said, “Over the past 9 years, you have witnessed the outcomes of our relentless efforts to combat the issue of Naxalism. Just a few years ago, the country had approximately 126 districts affected by Naxalism. However, we have successfully reduced that number to around 70 now.”


Stressing on the real guarantee of the BJP, PM Modi stated, “Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, 40 lakh poor people have been treated free of cost in Chhattisgarh. The farmers of Chhattisgarh have received Rs 6,500 crore from the PM Fasal Bima Yojana. This is the real guarantee of BJP. More than 6,600 crore rupees of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi have been received by about 40 lakh farmers here. This is the real guarantee of BJP.”


Accusing the Congress for neglecting public development schemes, PM Modi said, "The BJP is a party that prioritizes the welfare of the poor and is deeply concerned about their well-being. But Congress is the biggest enemy of the poor. The Congress government hinders the implementation of schemes initiated by the BJP government in Delhi, such as the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana. This obstruction is clearly evident. The central government had planned to construct 15 lakh houses for the underprivileged in Chhattisgarh, but the progress has been impeded. Congress has always used the tribal society as a vote bank."


During the public meeting, PM Modi said, “It is the BJP government that has got them their rights by including them in the list of tribes. This is the BJP government, which had created a separate Tribal Welfare Ministry. It is the BJP government which has opened hundreds of new Eklavya Model Schools for tribal children. It is the BJP government which has opened thousands of Van Dhan Kendras for tribal farmers.” The PM also addressed the extensive campaign launched to combat sickle cell anaemia.

PM to disburse incentives worth around ₹2,400 crore under PM-VBRY on 19 June
June 17, 2026
First-Time Employees to Receive Incentive of up to ₹15,000
To encourage sustained job creation, Employers eligible for Incentive of up to ₹3,000 per Month per Additional Employee
PM-VBRY is designed to facilitate Job Creation, Formalisation of Employment and Expansion of Social Security Coverage
Scheme has already Facilitated Employment for 15 Lakh Beneficiaries Across the Country

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will disburse incentives worth around ₹2,400 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana (PM-VBRY) at a special programme to be held on 19 June 2026 at 5 PM at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.

The disbursal marks a significant milestone in the implementation of PM-VBRY, the Government of India’s flagship employment-linked incentive scheme aimed at accelerating job creation, promoting formalisation of employment, enhancing employability, and expanding social security coverage across sectors. The scheme has already supported the creation of 15 lakh employment opportunities across the country.

PM-VBRY is designed to encourage both workers and employers to participate in the formal economy. Under the scheme, first-time employees are eligible for an incentive of up to ₹15,000, providing crucial support as they enter the workforce. Employers generating additional employment are eligible for incentives of up to ₹3,000 per month per additional employee, thereby encouraging sustained job creation. Recognising the strategic importance of manufacturing in driving economic growth, employers in the manufacturing sector are eligible to receive incentives for a period of four years, while employers in all other sectors can avail incentives for two years.

The scheme reflects the Government’s commitment to fostering an enabling ecosystem for employment-led growth and ensuring that the benefits of India’s economic progress translate into quality formal employment opportunities for its youth.

PM-VBRY came into effect on 1 August 2025. With a total outlay of ₹99,446 crore, the scheme aims to incentivise the creation of more than 3.5 crore jobs over a two-year period. Of these, approximately 1.92 crore beneficiaries are expected to be first-time entrants into the workforce. By supporting both employees and employers, the scheme is playing a transformative role in expanding formal employment, strengthening social security coverage, and advancing the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
