Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed public meetings in Khargone, and Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, urging voters to participate in the ongoing third phase of voting across the country. He emphasized the significance of each vote in shaping the future of India and urged voters to cast their votes in large numbers.

"Today, I am here to seek blessings for the development of India," said PM Modi. He reiterated his vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,' emphasizing that the progress of the nation is a collective effort. “In villages, in cities, your hard work, your sweat increases the nation's energy. And when it receives the power of your vote, it begins to transform,” he added.

Reflecting on the transformative power of democracy, PM Modi highlighted the impact of a single vote. "Your one vote made India the fifth largest economic power, enhanced its influence in the world, and removed Article 370 after 70 years," he said.

He continued, "Your one vote made a tribal daughter the President, ensured reservation rights for women, and sent corrupt individuals to jail. Your one vote secured the future of youth, created immense opportunities, and lifted 25 crore people out of poverty."

Asserting the importance of the ongoing elections, PM Modi stated, "Your one vote in this election will make India the third largest economy, increase your earnings, enhance job opportunities for youth, and make a strong India."

Highlighting the contrast between the BJP and the INDI Alliance, PM Modi pointed out that while the BJP seeks votes for the nation's development, the opposition is focused on safeguarding its legacy and promoting divisive politics. He warned against the divisive tactics employed by some parties.

PM Modi also addressed concerns regarding the intentions and actions of the Congress party and its allies. He criticized their disregard for national interests and their divisive rhetoric, particularly regarding relations with Pakistan.

"The Congress and the INDI Alliance neither care about our faith nor the nation's welfare," said PM Modi. "Their statements after every phase of voting reflect their love for Pakistan, which is astonishing."

In addition to addressing national security concerns, PM Modi highlighted the BJP's commitment to the welfare of tribal communities and the development of infrastructure in rural areas. Our tribal society, our culture, and our freedom have been safeguarded by them. “The tribal society has made Rajkumar Ram (Prabhu Shri Ram) the ideal man. The patriotism of Tantya Bhil and Bhima Naik has been a tradition here,” said PM Modi.

He mentioned various initiatives aimed at uplifting tribal societies, including the establishment of museums dedicated to tribal freedom fighters and the construction of educational institutions in their honour.

Addressing his second public meeting in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, PM Modi highlighted the achievements of his government and exposed the appeasement politics of the Congress party.

PM Modi emphasized the imminent victory of the BJP in the ongoing elections, stating, "Just one month is left until June 4. Today, the third phase of voting is underway. In the first phase, the opposition was defeated. In the second phase, the opposition was vanquished. After the third phase today, it will be certain that the sun of the opposition will set. Because the entire country has decided, Phir Ek Bar, Modi Sarkar."

He also paid homage to Mhow, the birthplace of Baba Saheb Ambedkar, and highlighted the significant contributions of the Constitution to India's progress. PM Modi criticized Congress for attempting to diminish Baba Saheb's role in the making of the Constitution and accused them of distorting history for their benefit.

PM Modi addressed concerns raised by Congress and its allies regarding the BJP's electoral strength, clarifying, "In the hope of defeat, Congress and the INDI Alliance are spreading a new rumour these days. They say Modi has got 400 seats, so he will change the Constitution. It seems like the Congress folks' minds have been locked with vote-bank."

He continued, "Modi needs 400 seats to stop the conspiracies of Congress and the INDI Alliance. Modi needs 400 seats so that Congress cannot bring back Article 370 in Kashmir. Modi needs 400 seats so that Congress cannot lock the door to the Ram temple in Ayodhya."

Highlighting his government's achievements, PM Modi emphasized his commitment to the welfare of the poor and marginalized communities. "Modi is on a mission to make India prosperous," he said. "Modi used the 400 seats to remove Article 370. Modi used the 400 seats to extend the reservation for SC/ST by 10 years. Modi used the 400 seats to make an Adivasi daughter the President. Modi used the 400 seats for women's reservation."

Speaking on Congress’ appeasement politics, PM Modi said, “The Congress has sunk so deep into the quagmire of appeasement that it can't see anything else now. If the Congress comes to power, it will say that the first right to live in India belongs to its vote bank. In its manifesto, the Congress has written that it will also give minorities a share in government tenders. This means that even in contracting, Congress will allocate quotas based on religion. The Congress intends to prioritize minorities in sports as well. This means that now Congress will decide based on religion who will be in the cricket team and who won't be.”

Regarding infrastructure development, PM Modi praised the progress made in Madhya Pradesh and promised further growth. "Modi is on a mission to make India prosperous. In the past 10 years, so much infrastructure work has been done here," he said. "Life has become easier with the construction of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Just a few days ago, the foundation stone of a textile park was laid here."

“The BJP operates on the mantra of development and heritage. But Congress opposed every work of our heritage, our faith. The BJP built the Mahakal Mahalok. Congress opposed it at every step. BJP's effort is to protect the country's heritage and create employment from it,” he added.

While concluding his address, PM Modi urged the people of Madhya Pradesh to vote for the BJP in the upcoming elections. "On May 13, you have to vote while saluting the women's power," he said. PM Modi reiterated his commitment to development, asserting that the BJP government will continue to work for the progress and prosperity of every Indian citizen.

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.
