Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge public gathering in Malda Uttar, West Bengal. He urged people to participate in the ongoing elections. PM Modi emphasized the importance of every vote in strengthening democracy and upholding the Constitution.

Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi said, "Today, the country is voting in the second phase of elections. Bengal is showing a unique enthusiasm for this festival of democracy. I urge everyone in the areas where voting is taking place today to go out and cast their vote. Every vote of yours will strengthen democracy, strengthen the constitution."

Highlighting the failures of the Opposition parties, PM Modi expressed confidence that parties like TMC and Congress, which faced defeat in the first phase, would be wiped out in the second phase. He said, "Today, you have come to bless us in such large numbers. I believe that the parties that were defeated in the first phase, like TMC and Congress, will be wiped out in the second phase today. That's why the buzz everywhere in Malda is ‘Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar."

PM Modi highlighted the stagnation of development in Bengal under successive governments. He criticized the rampant corruption and scams under the TMC rule, which he said have hindered the progress of the state. PM Modi highlighted various scams, including the Sharada chit fund scam, the Rose Valley chit fund scam, and the coal smuggling scandal, accusing the TMC of prioritizing corruption over the welfare of the people.

Speaking about the neglect of farmers and youth in Bengal, PM Modi accused the TMC government of exploiting the state's resources for personal gain. He contrasted the BJP government's initiatives for youth empowerment, such as the Mudra Yojana, Start-up India campaign, and Skill Development Campaign, with the lack of opportunities under TMC rule.

PM Modi expressed his dismay at the state's current situation. He assured the people of Bengal that the BJP government at the Centre is committed to the state's development, despite obstacles created by the TMC government.

Speaking about women's issues, PM Modi criticized the TMC for its failure to protect women from atrocities. H said, “When the BJP government ended triple talaq to save Muslim sisters from oppression, TMC opposed it. There have been so many inhumane atrocities on women in Sandeshkhali, and the TMC government kept protecting the main accused till the end. Even in Malda, there was an incident that embarrassed women, but the government remained silent. Whereas the BJP government is working for the dignity of women.”

He contrasted the BJP government's efforts, such as providing toilets under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Ujjwala gas connections, with the TMC's inaction on women's safety. “Mothers and sisters in Bengal have received a Ujjwala gas connection. Thousands of houses are given under PM Awas Yojana here, and most of them are in the name of women. For the first time, their name has become a property,” said the Prime Minister.

“Our government is creating new opportunities for sisters and daughters at every level, empowering them,” he added.

PM Modi warned against the dangerous intentions of the INDI Alliance, comprising TMC and Congress, accusing them of divisive policies and appeasement politics. He criticized their promises to revoke decisions made in the interest of the nation, such as reinstating Article 370 and repealing the CAA law.

During his concluding remarks, PM Modi urged voters to support BJP candidates in the ongoing elections, promising a brighter future for Bengal and the nation. He called on every citizen to exercise their right to vote and contribute to the nation's democratic process.

PM Modi addresses a mega public meeting in Ernakulam, Keralam
March 11, 2026
You have given Congress and Left more than 70 years. Now give a chance so that BJP-NDA serves you. You will see a great glimpse of #ViksitKeralam: PM
I am also grateful that the governments in Gulf countries are protecting our citizens. Our Indian embassies are helping them 24x7, says PM Modi
To reduce dependence on petrol and diesel, electric vehicles are being promoted. 100 percent electrification of railways is being carried out: PM Modi
Congress-led UDF is now MMC- Muslim League Maoist Congress, while LDF has long-standing ties with extremist elements like the PDP: PM Modi

Amid a massive gathering in Ernakulam today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the enthusiasm and confidence of the people reflected a strong aspiration for Keralam’s development and a new political direction in the state. He emphasised that the aspirations of the people clearly indicate a desire for faster growth and new opportunities.

Expressing confidence in the people’s mandate, PM Modi said, “The 21st century is a crucial time for Keralam. The state needs a new future and a new beginning. I am happy that the people of Keralam have decided to come out of the cycle of LDF and UDF. The confidence visible in this massive public meeting shows that people are ready for change.”

Highlighting the vision of a double-engine government, He stated Keralam possesses immense natural and human potential. He noted that the state has nature, culture, talent, technology and the blessings of the vast sea. However, he remarked that despite these strengths, development had not progressed at the desired pace due to alternating governments and political patterns that slowed long-term progress.

Calling for a new political direction, PM Modi iterated, “For rapid development, this pattern must change. You have given Congress and the Left more than seventy years. Now give BJP-NDA the next five years and you will see the vision of a Viksit Keralam take shape. You have Modi’s guarantee, what has not changed until now will change and Keralam will move forward.”

The Prime Minister said the vision of BJP-NDA is to position Keralam as a global hub for wellness, tourism and cultural experiences. He said, “For a Viksit Keralam, we must create new opportunities in tourism, talent and technology. The youth of Keralam have tremendous capability, and they should lead new sectors like startups, innovation and emerging technologies.”

Highlighting economic priorities, the PM stated, “Our government has ensured financial support and security for fishermen. Fishermen have been provided access to credit through the Kisan Credit Card and insurance coverage of up to five lakh rupees. Major projects like the Vizhinjam International Seaport show our commitment to strengthening the Blue Economy.”

Addressing concerns related to developments in the Gulf region, PM Modi said the government remains fully committed to the safety and welfare of Indian citizens working abroad. “Whenever any Indian citizen has faced danger anywhere in the world, India has made every effort to bring them back safely. Our embassies and missions are working round the clock to ensure help, food, medical care and support for our people,” he said.

“Whether it was rescuing nurses trapped in Iraq or securing the release of Father Tom from terrorists in Yemen, today’s India does not leave its citizens alone in times of crisis. We also brought Father Alexis Prem Kumar safely back from Afghanistan. Even today, our effort is to ensure safety and every possible assistance for Indians caught in difficult situations,” he added.

Coming down heavily on the Congress, PM Modi said, “It is unfortunate that even in such a serious global situation, the Congress party is indulging in politics. Congress leaders are making provocative statements so that the situation worsens, our people face difficulties and then they can start a campaign of abusing Modi.”

Highlighting the importance of self-reliance, PM Modi said, “India is continuously working to become self-reliant in the energy sector. Solar power capacity is expanding, electric mobility is being promoted and railway electrification is progressing rapidly. These steps are strengthening India’s long-term energy security.”

“On one hand, the BJP-NDA government is working tirelessly to make India self-reliant. On the other hand, Congress and the Left are busy mocking the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign. When they were in power, they only increased the country’s dependence on foreign nations. Even today, at a time when the world is facing conflict, Congress, the Left and their ecosystem are spreading rumours and creating panic. I urge the people of the country to stay alert and cautious against such misinformation.”

Criticising political opponents in the state, the Prime Minister said LDF and UDF represent two sides of the same system. He alleged that both groups have been associated with corruption, stalled development and divisive politics, which have hindered the progress of the state.

He continued, “When UDF was in power, the state witnessed the solar scam. Today, under LDF rule, the CMRL scam is dominating the headlines. Look at their partnership even in controversies around the Sabarimala temple. There are allegations of gold loot against leaders of one side and accusations of selling the looted gold against leaders of the other.”

Taking a swipe at the UDF and LDF, PM Modi asserted, "On one side is the UDF led by the Congress, which has now become MMC - Muslim League Maoist Congress. To win elections in Keralam, Congress depends on organisations like Jamaat and others whose radical agendas threaten the peace of the state. On the other side, the LDF has long-standing ties with extremist elements like the PDP, whose leaders are known for spreading extremism among the youth. Therefore, the people of Keralam must remain cautious of both UDF and LDF.”

Calling for a new mandate, the Prime Minister concluded by saying, “The goal of BJP is the development of the nation and the development of Keralam. With a BJP-NDA government here and a double-engine government, Keralam will move ahead with double the speed toward prosperity and growth.”
