It's time to shift away from divisive tactics and embrace a politics centred on accountability: PM Modi in Jadavpur rally

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in grand Barasat and Jadavpur rallies, vowed to combat corruption in Bengal and propel its culture and economy to new heights. Addressing the huge gathering, PM Modi said, “Today, India is on the path to becoming developed. The strongest pillar of this development is eastern India. In the last 10 years, the expenses made by the BJP Government in eastern India was never made in 60-70 years."

Initiating his spirited address, PM Modi said that he closely monitored the cyclone's progress, commending the NDRF and other teams for their exemplary efforts. He also assured that “The Central Government is committed to providing all necessary support to the State Government.”

Delving deep into his speech, PM Modi underscored the pivotal role of Eastern India in India's developmental trajectory and remarked, “In the journey of India's progress, Eastern India stands as a significant force. Over the past decade, the BJP government has allocated more funds to Eastern India than in the preceding six to seven decades. Our efforts have been dedicated to enhancing connectivity across the region, spanning railways, expressways, waterways, and airports.”

The PM also shed light on Bengal’s rich history and its current economic challenges, “Before independence, Bengal was a thriving hub of employment for countless Indians. Today, however, many factories in Bengal lie dormant, forcing its youth to seek opportunities elsewhere. The blame for this decline falls squarely on the shoulders of Congress, followed by the Left, and now TMC. Each party has contributed to Bengal's woes, with every vote for CPM ultimately benefiting TMC.”

Reflecting on his past promises, PM Modi reiterated his commitment to combating corruption in India, “Ten years ago, I pledged to eradicate corruption, and I've upheld that promise. Now, I assure the nation that ‘Naa Khaunga, Naa Khane Dunga’! Recent recoveries of illicit funds from TMC leaders will be thoroughly investigated, and legal measures are being implemented to ensure justice.”

Amidst discussions on scrutinizing the finances of the common citizens by the INDI Alliance, PM Modi shifted the focus to those engaged in corruption and explicitly commented, “Modi vows to examine the ill-gotten gains of corrupt individuals. An X-ray so powerful that it will deter future generations from indulging in corruption.”

“The Calcutta High Court's verdict has unmasked TMC's deception towards the OBCs in Bengal. By designating 77 Muslim castes as OBCs, TMC unlawfully deprived lakhs of OBC youths of their rights. Yet, observe the response of the TMC CM following this judicial decision, here questions are being raised on the intentions of the judges...” the PM reprimanded strongly.

PM Modi shared that a troubling incident unfolded when a TMC MLA made derogatory remarks about Hindus and Bengal's saints rightfully demanded an apology, “However, instead of rectifying the error, TMC resorted to insulting the saint community itself. Notably, saints associated with ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, and Bharat Sevashram Sangh faced disparagement. All this just to appease their vote bank. Furthermore, when sisters from Sandeshkhali sought justice, TMC chose to target them instead.”

“Despite its claims of advocating for the welfare of the people and the land, TMC's actions have sowed fear among mothers and insulted the sanctity of the soil. Even TMC's women MLAs who dare to speak out against its hooliganism face retaliation. Recently, a distressing video surfaced featuring mothers and sisters from Keshpur, West Medinipur, pleading for protection from TMC's goons. It's imperative to hold such acts accountable through the power of your vote,” the PM expressed deep grief.

PM Modi mentioned that “TMC's narrative against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) has been fuelled by appeasement politics. However, the reality is evident as hundreds of refugees have successfully obtained citizenship, visible to the entire nation.” “Forget TMC, no power in the world can impede the implementation of CAA,” PM Modi reassured strongly.

In a second massive rally of the day in Jadavpur, West Bengal; PM Modi presented “a stark contrast of priorities, TMC focuses solely on its vote bank, neglecting the youth's welfare. Meanwhile, Modi champions the cause of a developed India..."

Highlighting the alarming state of democracy in Bengal, PM Modi made the audience aware of certain facts, “Both TMC and Congress exhibit anti-democratic tendencies. From Panchayat to Lok Sabha elections, Bengal's electoral process is marred by violence, revealing the terror tactics employed by TMC."

The PM outlined the prominent difference in governance between TMC & BJP and remarked, “There's no semblance of good governance under TMC's rule in Bengal. While Modi ensures clean tap water and affordable housing nationwide, Bengal suffers from arsenic-contaminated water and mafia-driven construction. Despite Modi's initiatives, TMC creates obstacles, failing to address the needs of its people."

In his call to action, PM Modi encouraged that, “It's time to shift away from divisive tactics and embrace a politics centred on performance and accountability."

“With the country's resolute decision to elect the Modi government in Delhi”, PM Modi urged the audience, “Come June 1, let the lotus blossom across every seat, including Barasat and Jadavpur.” The PM also asked the crowd to venture door to door, village to village, and seek blessings at every temple and place of worship.

“Together, let's usher in a Viksit Bengal and a Viksit Bharat,” the PM concluded.

India-Australia Roadmap for Sports Collaboration
July 10, 2026

Sports is a powerful bridge between India and Australia, bringing communities together and opening new pathways for collaboration.

Building on the 2023 MoU on Cooperation in Sports, the India-Australia Roadmap for Sports Collaboration sets out practical, future-focused priorities and opportunities to strengthen this cornerstone of our bilateral relationship.

Recognising the decade of opportunity ahead — including the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad, the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and India’s ambition to host a future Olympic and Paralympic Games — this Roadmap identifies targeted areas of cooperation aligned to shared priorities, capabilities and resources.

Respecting differences in the governance of sport and the development of sport ecosystems in Australia and India, and recognising the leadership role of sporting bodies, businesses, state–level governments, universities and community groups in promoting elite and community sports, we are committed to facilitating engagement and supporting collaborative ways of working between relevant institutions, to encourage stronger sports partnerships at all levels that benefits both countries.

Implementation will be pragmatic and outcomes-focused, with activities prioritised in line with available resources and major event timelines.

Cooperation will be delivered through established partnerships, supported by flexible, demand-led arrangements, whereby responsibility for resourcing activities will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. This approach ensures practical, sustainable and mutually beneficial outcomes.

In this context, the following have been identified as focus areas for collaboration under this Roadmap:

A. Capacity Building:

o Collaborate for sharing best practice in establishing and operating High-Performance Sports Centres in India in priority sports.

o Identify Para sport as a key priority and opportunity for collaboration, including Australian expertise in Para classification, coaching and performance support, with potential links between Indian and Australian universities where appropriate.

o Drawing on Australia’s coach development models, facilitate two-way exchanges that bring Indian coach and coach educators to Australia and Australian coaches and coach educators to India, using a Train the Trainer approach where appropriate.

o A physical education exchange programme between India and Australia may be introduced to facilitate mutual learning, sharing of best practices, and collaboration in areas such as school sports, sports science, and community participation in physical education.

o Recognising the physical and mental health benefits of yoga and the World Yogasana, the federation for yogasana sports based in India, identify opportunities to share knowledge, foster collaboration and encourage participation in yoga in Australia.

o Work with the Australian Sports Commission to build the capability of select Indian coaches as part of the India Australia High Performance Coach Development program.

o Explore opportunities through relevant non-government stakeholders such as sporting organisations and universities to support talented young Indian sportspersons as part of high-performance programs in Australia through student scholarships funded by Government of India.

B. Collaborative Sports Science and Technology Research:

o Encourage joint research and development projects between universities in India and Australia on athlete performance analytics, injury prevention, sports nutrition, wearable performance technology, recovery techniques and Para sport.

o Encourage partnerships between Indian and Australian universities to co-develop sports curriculums.

o Sport Integrity Australia and National Anti-Doping Agency India contribute to international anti-doping efforts by supporting World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-led capacity building programs through engagement with the WADA Asia/Oceania Office, and through representation on the UNESCO International Convention against Doping in Sport (Convention) Groups.

C. Major Sporting Events:

o Collaborate with Australian States and Territories, and National Sporting Organisations to exchange best practices for hosting large events.

o Explore opportunities to host exhibition matches and youth events in both countries to promote sports of mutual interest (such as Kabaddi and Kho Kho in Australia, and Australian Football League and basketball in India).

o Leverage the build-up to major sporting events such as Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games to establish formal, reciprocal arrangements between Indian and Australian sporting bodies for shared facilities, competitions and support networks during and in the build-up to major sporting events.

o Welcoming the inaugural Big Bash League match to be played in India in Chennai in December 2026, encourage Cricket Australia and the Board of Control for Cricket in India to work towards a commitment to host annual BBL matches in India.

D. Sports Industry and Investment Platform:

o Build on the Australia-funded Sports Industry Summit in Mumbai in December 2026 to promote collaboration between Indian and Australian companies on sports equipment manufacturing, sports media and broadcasting, event management, and sports start-ups.

o Facilitate Australian sports sector businesses in the Indian sports market through information sessions and vice-versa.

o Expand India’s export of high quality, competitively priced sports goods to Australia.

o Expand the export of Australian expertise in high performance sports, including coaching, coach development, strength and conditioning, athlete wellbeing, nutrition and psychology.

E. Women in Sports Partnership:

o Launch joint initiatives promoting women’s leadership, health, high performance and participation in sport, including bilateral tournaments for women athletes, drawing on the Australian Sports Commission’s flagship programs, recognising that sport is a powerful pathway for women’s economic empowerment, leadership, health and social inclusion.
