Ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections, 2024, PM Modi was garnered with love and admiration at public rallies in Alathur & Attingal, Kerala. The PM extended his best wishes on the occasion of Vishu and presented his transparent vision of Kerala to the audience. PM Modi offered a glimpse of BJP's Sankalp Patra, pledging advancement and prosperity to every corner of the nation.

Commencing his spirited speech, the PM metaphorically indicated, “Amidst the outpouring of support, it's clear: Kerala's stepping into a new era. This New Year marks the start of development, a shift in politics, and a bold voice in Parliament. Kerala echoes in union: Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar!"

Expressing his confidence on BJP’s recently released Election Manifesto, PM Modi observed that, “BJP’s Sankalp Patra is a resolution letter for the development of the country. There’s Modi Ki Guarantee on every page of the manifesto!” The PM also added that, “Modi Ki Guarantee means all senior citizens above 70 years of age will get free medical treatment under Ayushman Yojana. 3 crore new houses will be built for the poor under PM Awas Yojana, Modi Ki Guarantee means people will continue to get cheap medicines at an 80 percent discount at every Jan Aushadhi centre of Kerala and Modi Ki Guarantee i.e. our youth will now get support of 20 lakh rupees instead of 10 lakhs under Mudra Yojana.”

PM Modi expressed deep pride in the development of Kerala as a state and India as a whole and mentioned, “In the last decade, the people of Kerala have experienced first-hand, the progress of our nation. India now commands respect on the global stage, with Indians, including those in the Gulf, being treated with dignity abroad. We've witnessed India's capability to swiftly rescue citizens trapped in conflict zones and to stand self-reliant in crises like the COVID pandemic, producing indigenous vaccines not only for our own nation but also extending assistance to others worldwide.” However, the PM also noted, that, “Whatever has happened in the last ten years is just a trailer. There is still a lot to be accomplished; we still have to take the country forward.”

Demonstrating his angst against the opposition, PM Modi shared, “Under BJP leadership, our nation is swiftly progressing. However, the LDF-UDF in Kerala is dragging the state backwards. Despite the NDA's efforts for Kerala's development, the state government impedes progress and opposes National Highways projects. Their ideology seems to be 'Nothing Left and Nothing Right,' leaving chaos in their wake. We've seen this in Bengal and Tripura, and sadly, Kerala is no exception."

“Sadly, Kerala, once known for its peace, now grapples with rampant violence and anarchy. Political murders openly take place, and college campuses harbour anti-social elements. Those disrupting communal harmony receive government protection, posing a threat even to our children's safety.” the PM added.

“In Kerala, public funds are openly plundered. These individuals devise new corruption schemes to drain every rupee from the public coffers. The Karuvannur Co-Operative Bank Scam epitomizes the Left's looting, leaving everyone dismayed. With a bank once worth Rs 300 crores reduced to a mere Rs 2 crores, it's a glaring example of their mismanagement,” PM Modi expressed in disappointment.

Taking a sharp jibe against the incumbent regime, PM Modi reflected, “For three years, the CPM Chief Minister falsely promised justice for victims of the cooperative scam. It was your servant, Modi under whom the investigation was initiated, leading to the attachment of assets worth 90 crore rupees from the culprits. Legal advice is sought to ensure the return of funds to the victims. The BJP government has already refunded 17,000 crore rupees to scam victims nationwide. Rest assured, every effort will be made to retrieve the money lost in this corrupt scheme."

The PM further launched his attack against the Congress party and stated, “A prominent Congress leader, struggling to maintain his family stronghold in UP, has sought refuge in Kerala. Congress, in a bid to win elections, has struck a covert deal with a banned organization's political wing. Yet, this leader remains silent on issues like the Co-Operative Bank Scam."

Showing his actual concern towards the people of Kerala, the PM conveyed, “People of Kerala have to be cautious of both LDF-UDF.” The PM also exposed the harsh realities of the opposition and marked that, “Despite Kerala's Congress branding the Left as terrorists, they form alliances in Delhi and even contest elections together in Tamil Nadu. The leftists, once critical of Congress nepotism, now seek their advice on the matter. United under the INDI Alliance, they fear Modi's crackdown on corruption. Their common target is Modi, but rest assured, every vote for BJP and NDA will speak for the welfare of the poor."

In his second rally at Attingal, PM Modi said, "The BJP has announced in its Sankalp Patra that we will connect global tourists with our heritage and confer World Heritage status on our heritage. There is a great possibility of this happening in Kerala. The BJP's plan is the overall development of major tourist destinations. The BJP will also establish new centers for eco-tourism in Kerala. This will greatly benefit our tribal families by creating opportunities for them. The BJP government will also provide financial help to women for homestays.”

Throwing more light on the BJP's 'Sankalp Patra', PM Modi emphasized, "The BJP has committed in its Sankalp Patra to focus on coastal line protection. This initiative will significantly aid the fishermen in Kerala. Our endeavors will aim to safeguard their livelihoods, which have suffered due to the actions of the LDF-UDF over the years. Furthermore, we will set up new clusters dedicated to fishery production and processing."


Coming down heavily on the UDF and the LDF, the PM stated, “The credibility of the Congress and the Left is such that even after decades of governing, they have nothing to count as their achievements. When they go among the people, they attempt to take credit for the schemes of the central government by lying.” PM Modi questioned, "Today, a water crisis has emerged in several parts of Kerala. People are not getting water. Who should take credit for this? Today, Kerala's coir industry is on the verge of closure. The livelihood of coir industry workers is at stake. Who will take credit for this?"

In his concluding remarks, the PM envisioned April 26th as a day of commitment to Kerala's progress. Encouraging every voter to support BJP candidates, he emphasized the importance of sustaining the momentum of development. The PM also urged the audience to spread his gratitude and greetings to every doorstep.

My dear companions from Kota and the entire Hadoti region, Namaskar once again.

Just last week, I had the opportunity to visit Rajasthan. From the sacred land of Ajmer, we inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for development projects worth thousands of crores of rupees. In that same program, appointment letters were handed over to more than 21,000 young people of Rajasthan. And now, only a few days after the Ajmer visit, today I have the privilege of launching this important airport project connected to Kota. Within a single week, these two major development programs in Rajasthan send a powerful message. They show how rapidly Rajasthan is progressing today. Whether it is infrastructure, employment opportunities for youth, schemes for farmers and women, or initiatives in every sector-work is happening at great speed across Rajasthan.

Friends,

Today is a day of new hope and achievement for Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar, and the entire Hadoti region. This modern airport, being built at a cost of around 1,500 crore rupees, will accelerate the development of the entire region in the coming years. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the people of Kota and Hadoti on the occasion of the foundation stone laying of this important airport project.

Friends,

I remember, when I came to Kota in November 2023, I made a promise to the people of Kota. I had said that the airport would not remain just a dream, but it would be turned into reality. Today, I am happy that the moment has arrived when the construction of Kota Airport is beginning. Until now, people of Kota had to travel to Jaipur or Jodhpur to catch flights. This consumed a lot of time and caused inconvenience. That situation is now going to change. Once this airport becomes operational, travel will become easier and trade will grow rapidly in Kota and the surrounding areas.

Friends,

Kota is not only a hub of education but also a major center of energy. It is a unique region where electricity is produced from almost all sources-nuclear, coal-based, gas, and water. The land of Hadoti is equally famous for its heritage. The taste of Kota Kachori, the elegance of Kota Doria sarees, and the shine of Kota stone and sandstone have earned recognition worldwide. The coriander from here, Bundi’s basmati rice-their aroma reaches international markets. This region is known for its hard work, production, and immense potential. Now, this new airport in Kota will multiply these possibilities many times over.

Friends,

The land of Kota and Hadoti is also a great center of enterprise and faith. For centuries, devotees from across the country and the world have been coming here to visit the sacred Mathuradheesh Ji Peeth, the Keshav Rai Patan pilgrimage, Khade Ganesh Ji Maharaj, and Godavari Balaji Dham. The view of Chambal from Garadia Mahadev mesmerizes everyone. Wildlife sanctuaries like Mukundra Hills and Ramgarh Vishdhari make this region a major hub of wildlife tourism. With increased air connectivity, tourists from across the country and the world will come here, directly benefiting the youth, traders, and the local economy.

Friends,

Kota is already rapidly advancing in connectivity. Under the Amrit Bharat Station scheme, both major railway stations of Kota are being equipped with modern facilities. The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, which passes through Kota and Bundi, is opening new doors of development for the entire region. Now, big cities like Delhi, Vadodara, and Mumbai are only a few hours away. With better road and rail connectivity, new industries are being established here. Especially for agro-based industries, this region will become a major hub. After rail and road, this new chapter of air connectivity will further accelerate Kota’s development. The Kota Airport will bring new opportunities of progress for the entire Hadoti region and nearby districts.

Friends,

I also want to appreciate the continuous efforts of Kota’s Member of Parliament, Shri Om Birla Ji, for this important project. His constant endeavor has been to improve the lives of the people of Kota and provide them with new opportunities. Whether it is the airport, the new campus of IIIT, or the expansion of roads, he has been working tirelessly for Kota’s development. It is because of his efforts that Kota and the entire region are witnessing new momentum in growth.

Friends,

Om Birla Ji is not only an excellent Member of Parliament but also a remarkable Speaker of the Lok Sabha. He is fully dedicated to the Constitution and deeply committed to parliamentary traditions. Today, he stands above party and opposition, embodying neutrality. When I see him in the House, I often feel that perhaps coming from the city of education has influenced his role as Speaker-he leads like a good head of the family, taking everyone along. He respects the feelings and requests of all Members of Parliament. He is a Speaker who naturally honors MPs the most. Even when some arrogant and disruptive individuals occasionally create disturbances, he manages everything with dignity, never insulting anyone, patiently enduring harsh words, and always smiling with warmth. Perhaps that is one reason why he is universally admired in the House.

Friends,

When connectivity increases, the speed of development also rises. In the past 11 years, new airports built across different parts of the country have given fresh momentum to growth. Before 2014, there were around 70 airports in the country. Today, that number has risen to more than 160. These new airports have made air travel easier, boosted tourism, created employment opportunities for youth, and accelerated regional development. Even around Delhi, several new airports have come up-Hisar, Hindon, Jewar. When new airports and terminals are built, new enterprises and companies reach smaller cities too. I am confident that Kota’s new airport will similarly give new momentum to the development of this region in the coming times.

Friends,

When the state government and the central government work together, when intentions are clear and determination is strong, the pace of development multiplies. That is exactly what is happening in Rajasthan today. This strong foundation of a developed Rajasthan is giving greater strength to the resolve of a developed India. I am fully confident that together we will succeed in building a Rajasthan that is prosperous, strong, and full of opportunities. With this belief, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you on this foundation stone laying ceremony. Thank you very much. Vande Mataram.
