PM Modi addresses a vibrant crowd in Jharkhand’s Jamshedpur

We made the district mineral foundation... The BJP is working at the centre for the development of Jharkhand: PM Modi in Jamshedpur
I am confident that the people of Jharkhand will vote for the state's development, says PM Modi in Jamshedpur
The relationship between Jharkhand and the BJP is not just a political one. It is a bond of the heart, a relationship of belonging: PM Modi
The three biggest enemies of Jharkhand are JMM, RJD, and Congress, says PM Modi in Jamshedpur
Congress ruled the country from Delhi for so many decades but they did not let backwards, Adivasi and Dalits come forward: PM Modi

Jamshedpur, Jharkhand warmly welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a vibrant public rally. The PM said, "Amid the excitement of Karma Puja, I had the privilege of giving Jharkhand several major development gifts before coming here. Today, Jharkhand has received six new Vande Bharat trains. People in different cities across Jharkhand will now experience high-speed travel with modern amenities. It will also create opportunities for employment and progress for the youth."

Addressing the huge gathering, PM Modi said, "The relationship between Jharkhand and the BJP is not just a political one. It's a bond of the heart, a relationship of belonging. Jharkhand's dream is BJP's own dream. PM Modi asked, "Who fulfilled the dream of a separate Jharkhand? The BJP government! Who first focused on Jharkhand's backward districts with the Aspirational Districts Program? The BJP! Who launched Janjatiya Gaurav Divas on Birsa Munda's birth anniversary? The BJP! For decades, tribal youth were denied education—who ensured quality schooling for them? Who built over 400 Eklavya Residential Schools? The BJP! And who made a tribal woman the President of India? The BJP!"

While urging people to give the BJP a chance, PM Modi stated, “The BJP will leave no stone unturned for Jharkhand's development. Jharkhand has three biggest enemies—JMM, RJD, and Congress. RJD is still taking revenge on Jharkhand for its formation, and Congress outright despises Jharkhand. The Congress party ruled the country for decades, yet they never allowed the Dalit, backward, and tribal communities to progress."

Talking about infiltration - a major issue facing Jharkhand right now, the PM asserted, “Just a few days ago, the Jharkhand High Court ordered an independent panel to investigate this infiltration. However, the JMM government refuses to acknowledge that infiltration is happening in Jharkhand. Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltration poses a significant threat in Santhal Pargana and Kolhan. In Santhal Pargana, the tribal population is decreasing at an alarming rate. The lands of the local people are being seized. Infiltrators are taking control of panchayats and the system, and incidents of atrocities against daughters are rising. The truth is, the JMM is siding with these Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators.”

Lashing out at the ruling party, the PM iterated, “Those who play vote-bank politics are loyal to no one, and the JMM government's five-year term is proof of that. Today, the poor tribals of Jharkhand are asking: Was Champai Soren not a tribal? Did he not come from a poor family? Yet, the way he was humiliated and removed just to seize the Chief Minister's chair hurt every poor tribal in Jharkhand. Even Sita Soren, who is from their own family, was insulted and sidelined despite being a woman."

Coming down heavily on the JMM-Congress, PM Modi noted, "The most dishonest and corrupt party in this country is the Congress party. And the most corrupt family in the country is the Congress family where all streams of corruption originate. The JMM is trained in the same place—the Congress School of Corruption. In five years, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has done only one thing—loot and corruption in Jharkhand. The JMM government has brought corruption to everything—Jal, Jungle aur Jameen."

The PM also highlighted the rampant corruption, he said, “On one hand, the poor and the middle class living in the cities here sweat over every single rupee. On the other hand, hundreds of crores in cash are recovered from the residences of this government’s ministers and MPs, and from their servants' hideouts. There are scams worth thousands of crores. Remember how mountains of cash were found in Jharkhand? That was your money."

Furthermore, PM Modi stated that the opposition had promised to conduct JPSC and JSSC exams every year. However, rather than fulfilling this promise, job-selling gangs have prospered under government protection, and those involved in paper leaks are being shielded. “Congress promised to give ₹1 lakh each to youths and women. However, when women went to Congress offices to claim this money, they were met with humiliation. Wherever Congress governments are in power, such deceitful promises and falsehoods are prevalent,” he added.

Concluding his speech, the PM said, “I am confident that the people of Jharkhand will vote for the state's development. You will once again shower your blessings on the BJP."

PM Modi visits under-construction Bullet Train Station at Surat, Gujarat; reviews Progress of Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor
November 16, 2025
PM interacts with team of India’s first Bullet train project
PM highlights Importance of Documenting Learnings from Bullet Train Execution
PM emphasises that when the feeling arises of working for the nation and contributing something new, it becomes a source of immense motivation

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited the under-construction Bullet Train Station at Surat in Gujarat yesterday and reviewed the Progress of Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor. He also interacted with the team of India’s first Bullet train project and enquired about the progress of the project, including adherence to speed and timetable targets. Workers assured him that the project was advancing smoothly without any difficulties.

An engineer from Kerala shared her experience of working at the Noise Barrier Factory in Navsari, Gujarat, where robotic units are being deployed for welding rebar cages. Shri Modi asked her how she personally perceived the experience of building India’s first Bullet Train, and what they share with their families about this historic achievement. She expressed pride in contributing to the nation’s first Bullet Train, describing it as a “dream project” and a “proud moment” for her family.

Reflecting on the spirit of national service, the Prime Minister emphasised that when the feeling arises of working for the nation and contributing something new, it becomes a source of immense motivation. He drew a parallel with India’s space journey, recalling how the scientists who launched the country’s first satellite must have felt, and how today hundreds of satellites are being launched.

Another employee, Shruti from Bengaluru, serving as Lead Engineering Manager, explained the rigorous design and engineering control processes. She highlighted that at every stage of execution, her team evaluates pros and cons, identifies solutions, and explores alternatives to ensure flawless implementation.

Prime Minister Shri Modi remarked that if the experiences gained here are recorded and compiled like a Blue Book, the country can move decisively towards large-scale implementation of bullet trains. He emphasized that India must avoid repeated experimentation and instead replicate the learnings from existing models. Shri Modi highlighted that replication will only be meaningful if there is a clear understanding of why certain actions were taken. Otherwise, he cautioned, replication may occur without purpose or direction. He suggested that maintaining such records could benefit future students and contribute to nation-building. “We will dedicate our lives here and leave behind something valuable for the country,” the Prime Minister affirmed.

An employee expressed his commitment in heartfelt words through a poem to which the Prime Minister lauded his dedication and responded with appreciation.

Union Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw was present during the visit.

Background

Prime Minister visited the under-construction Bullet Train Station in Surat to review the progress of the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR) — one of India’s most ambitious infrastructure projects symbolizing the nation’s leap into the era of high-speed connectivity.

The MAHSR spans approximately 508 kilometres, covering 352 km in Gujarat and Dadra & Nagar Haveli, and 156 km in Maharashtra. The corridor will connect major cities including Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Anand, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Bilimora, Vapi, Boisar, Virar, Thane, and Mumbai, marking a transformative step in India’s transportation infrastructure.

Built with advanced engineering techniques on par with international standards, the project features 465 km (about 85% of the route) on viaducts, ensuring minimal land disturbance and enhanced safety. So far, 326 km of viaduct work has been completed, and 17 out of 25 river bridges have already been constructed.

Upon completion, the Bullet Train will reduce travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to nearly two hours, revolutionizing inter-city travel by making it faster, easier, and more comfortable. The project is expected to boost business, tourism, and economic activity along the entire corridor, catalyzing regional development.

The Surat–Bilimora section, covering around 47 km, is in an advanced stage of completion, with civil works and track-bed laying fully completed. The design of the Surat station draws inspiration from the city’s world-renowned diamond industry, reflecting both elegance and functionality. The station has been designed with a strong focus on passenger comfort, featuring spacious waiting lounges, restrooms, and retail outlets. It will also offer seamless multi-modal connectivity with the Surat Metro, city buses, and the Indian Railways network.
