Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Yuva Vijay Sankalp Rally in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh via video conference. PM Modi started his address by highlighting the contribution of Himachal to the development of the country as well as to the security of the country. PM Modi said, “From the attack on Jammu and Kashmir to the Kargil war, the brave people of Himachal have made the supreme sacrifice and held Maa Bharti's head high.”

PM Modi talked about how the youth of Himachal apart from protecting the country, are also contributing to raising the pride of the tricolour in large numbers at the international level. PM Modi said, “In the recently concluded Commonwealth Games, Himachal's Priyanka performed brilliantly in cricket, Varun in hockey and Vikas in weightlifting.”

PM Modi iterated on the importance of having a stable government with an absolute majority and said, “Looking at the benefits of a stable government, now the people of the country are also going ahead and giving their decision”. PM Modi further added that the people of Himachal have also decided to elect the BJP Government again.

Talking about how the people of Himachal will benefit from the growing pharma sector, PM Modi said, “India's identity as a world pharmacy will be strengthened when Himachal becomes a global pharma hub. Himachal is one of the four states in the country where medical device parks are being set up.”

PM Modi told people how the double engine government is building premier institutions in Himachal. PM Modi said, “Apart from IIT Mandi, IIM in Sirmaur, IIIT in Una and AIIMS in Bilaspur, there is also a university in Mandi and there is also a central university in Dharamsala. That is, all the country's premier institutions related to every major sector are here in Himachal today.”

Talking about promoting Himachal’s produce globally, PM Modi said, “Be it Kullu Shawl, Kinnauri Shawl, Chamba Rumal, Kangra Paintings, Chamba Chappals, or Lahuli Hot Socks, all these have been GI Tagged. It is also my endeavour that whenever I meet foreign guests, I gift these products of Himachal to them.”

Highlighting the stark difference between earlier central governments and his tenure as the Prime Minister, PM Modi said, “In the last 8 years, the central government has given about Rs 14,000 crore for the maintenance and expansion of the National Highway in Himachal. Whereas in the 8 years before 2014, Himachal Pradesh had received less than Rs 2 thousand crores.”

PM Modi finally addressed the infrastructure built by the double-engine government in the sectors of health and welfare. PM Modi said, “AIIMS of Bilaspur is now ready…Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, in the last 3 years…More than 8 lakh families of Himachal have got water facility from the tap.”
