Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed public meetings in Chikkaballapur and Bengaluru, Karnataka. Speaking to a vibrant crowd, he highlighted the achievements of the NDA government and outlined plans for the future.

Addressing the enthusiastic gathering, PM Modi said, "The enthusiasm of the nation has been uplifted by the voting in the first phase, and I can see this enthusiasm here as well. In the first phase, the voting has been in favor of the NDA, in favor of a developed India."

He emphasized the lack of leadership and vision in the opposition coalition and said, "The INDI Alliance currently lacks leadership, vision for the future, and their history is filled with scams. The message from Chikkaballapur and Kolar is clear, Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar!"

Presenting his report card to the people, PM Modi sought their blessings and reiterated his commitment to their welfare. He said, "Today, I am among you with my report card, seeking blessings. I consider you all as my family. I have worked day and night for you. Your dream is Modi's determination. That's why I not only make plans with true intentions but also guarantee them."

Highlighting the government's initiatives for the welfare of the poor, PM Modi mentioned the provision of free rations and healthcare. "The poor of our country never hoped to receive free rations. But this son of the poor, Modi, has shown what no one ever thought of. Modi guarantees that this will continue for the next five years," he said.

He also emphasized the importance of education and financial assistance for SC/ST/OBC communities. "The biggest beneficiaries of Modi government schemes are SC/ST/OBC families. In the past, they were forced to live in filth and slums, without even basic amenities like electricity and water. Modi's guarantee has restored their faith. That's why in the last ten years, twenty-five crore people have been lifted out of poverty," he added.

PM Modi outlined the government's focus on women's empowerment, mentioning the expansion of self-help groups and financial assistance for women. "Serving and securing every mother, sister, and daughter is Modi's priority. In the last ten years, we have connected ten crore sisters through self-help groups. We have made one crore sisters 'Lakhpati Didis'. Now Modi guarantees that three crore sisters will become 'Lakhpati Didis,' earning over one lakh rupees annually," he said.

Speaking about the Namo Drone Didi Yojana, PM Modi said, "The NDA government is providing drone pilot training to girls. The day is not far when our daughters will assist in farming using drones in the fields of Kolar and Chikkaballapur." PM Modi also highlighted the government's efforts to promote agriculture, improve infrastructure, and develop tourism in the region.

In his second public meeting in Bengaluru, PM Modi addressed a gathering, highlighting the achievements of the NDA government and outlining plans for the future. Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi emphasized the significant strides India has made in the last decade and the transformative impact of government policies on the lives of citizens.

PM Modi recalled the challenges India faced in 2014, being counted among the "fragile five" economies globally. However, through decisive governance and citizen support, India has risen to become one of the top five economies in the world. He credited the people for this transformation, stating, "It's your vote that has done it."

Addressing the audience, PM Modi reiterated his focus on the development of 21st Century India, emphasizing the importance of citizen welfare and India's global image. He highlighted the government's record investments in social, physical, and digital infrastructure to improve the quality of life for all citizens.

PM Modi expressed concern over the deteriorating situation in Bengaluru under the Congress government. He highlighted the rapid progress made under central government projects, such as the expansion of the Namma Metro network and infrastructure development in suburban areas.

He said, “Nadaprabhu Kempegowda had dreamt of making Bengaluru a magnificent city. But the Congress government has worsened the situation here in a short time. They have turned the tech city into a tanker city and handed it over to the water mafia. Whether it's agriculture or urban infrastructure, budgets are being cut everywhere. The focus of the Congress government is only on corruption, not on the problems of the people of Bengaluru.”

PM Modi outlined future plans, including the creation of various hubs such as the Green Energy Hub, Pharma Hub, and Electronics Hub to bolster India's position as a global economic powerhouse. "You'll remember it was Congress that created a huge uproar over HAL. Today, HAL is achieving record turnovers, and profits, and receiving record orders. Asia's largest helicopter factory is now in Karnataka. After the United States, Boeing's second-largest facility is in Karnataka. This is happening when industries are growing in India, and the number of people working in them is increasing,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi assured the audience that the government is committed to fulfilling their dreams and urged them to vote for the BJP and JD(S) alliance in the upcoming elections. He highlighted Congress’ mindset and its misrule and said, “Bengaluru is a powerhouse of youth, talent, and technology. But the Congress and the coalition are against technology. Today, the whole world is praising Digital India and India's fintech.”

“But don't forget, Congress opposed Aadhaar. Congress opposed Jan Dhan Accounts. Congress ridiculed digital payments. Congress opposed digital authentication in the ration scheme. Congress opposed the Co-WIN platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. Congress maligned the Made in India COVID-19 vaccine,” he added.

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi urged the people of Bengaluru to support BJP candidates in the upcoming elections. He called for breaking all voting records in Bangalore city and emphasized the importance of every citizen's vote.

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.
