We have started a scheme to empower women - the 'Namo Drone Didi', says PM Modi in Rudrapur
‘Neeyat Sahi, Toh Nateeje Sahi’, says PM Modi as he talks about the development of Uttarakhand and various government schemes which have benefitted the state
After staying out of power for just 10 years, Congress has started talking about igniting fire in India. Will you punish such people? asks PM Modi in Rudrapur
The Congress, with its Emergency-era mentality, has lost faith in democracy. Therefore, it has now engaged in agitating against the mandate: PM Modi

Ahead of the Lok Sabha election 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to a large audience in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand today. Beginning his speech, PM Modi remarked, "This marks my inaugural electoral rally in the 'Devbhumi,' Uttarakhand. Moreover, this rally unfolds in an area frequently labeled as Mini India. You all have come here to bless us in such large numbers. We are deeply grateful to all of you."

PM Modi highlighted the unprecedented development in Uttarakhand over the past decade, surpassing achievements of the previous 65 years. He said, “Uttarakhand's integration into modern connectivity and the BJP government's initiatives, including providing 85,000 pakka houses to the poor, water connections to over 12 lakh homes, and constructing more than 5 lakh toilets. When intentions are right, such work happens naturally. That's why I say – ‘Neeyat Sahi, Toh Nateeje Sahi’.”

Stressing the state’s progress, PM Modi said, “The development achieved in the past 10 years is just the trailer. There's much more to be done. We still have to take the country and Uttarakhand much further. My endeavor is to make the world more familiar with the region, whether it's agriculture, tourism, or industry, unprecedented opportunities are emerging in this region. I would say to the youth of Uttarakhand - Your dream is my commitment."

Training his guns on the Congress party who wants to lead India towards instability, PM Modi stated, “Congress and the opposition coalition have shown their intentions. The scion of the Congress' royal family has declared that if the country elects a BJP government for the third time, there will be unrest. The Congress, with its Emergency-era mentality, has lost faith in democracy and is now trying to incite people against the verdict. Also, a senior leader of the Congress in Karnataka has spoken about separating South India from the country.”

“The people of Uttarakhand cannot forget that it was this Congress that insulted the brave son of the nation, the late Bipin Rawat. Such a Congress cannot be expected to have patriotism,” he added.

Targeting the Congress over border issues, PM Modi iterated, "The connection of this land is with Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Govind Singh Ji, and Udasi Sant Guru Ram Rai Ji. The Congress divided the country to an extent that even the birthplace of Guru Nanak Ji was snatched from us. Now, finally, the BJP government has made life easier for people by constructing the Kartarpur Corridor. If Congress didn't show weakness, no one would have dared to cast an eye on our borders.” Also, PM Modi mentioned that new facts reveal how the Congress callously gave away Katchatheevu.

Shedding light on the OROP, PM Modi said, “If the Congress were in power, even today, former soldiers would not receive One Rank, One Pension. However, Modi had guaranteed the families of soldiers and fulfilled it. Today, families of soldiers across the country have received more than Rs 1 lakh crore under OROP. Thousands of families in Uttarakhand are also benefiting from this.”

Coming down heavily on Opposition on the issue of corruption, PM Modi said, "These corrupt individuals not only threaten Modi but also abuse him. I say - eradicate corruption. They say - save the corrupt. But Modi is not afraid of their abuses and threats. Action will continue against every corrupt person. There will be a swift strike against corruption in the third term. And I will not let anyone steal the rights of the poor or the middle class. This is Modi's guarantee."

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi said, “In the coming 5 years, there will be unprecedented work and significant decisions. But for this, you need to strengthen Modi further. BJP needs to secure victory with the maximum votes on all seats in Uttarakhand. Remember... Phir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar! 4 June… 400 Paar! You have one task to do. If you go from here to the villages, you have to bow to the deities there on behalf of Modi. And tell all the families in the village that Modi ji has sent his respects.”

The courage and determination they displayed continue to inspire generations to uphold the values of liberty, justice and dignity.”

“ ਅੱਜ ਦੇ ਦਿਨ, ਅਸੀਂ ਜੱਲ੍ਹਿਆਂਵਾਲਾ ਬਾਗ਼ ਦੇ ਸੂਰਬੀਰ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦਿਲੋਂ ਸ਼ਰਧਾਂਜਲੀ ਭੇਟ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਸਾਡੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਕਦੇ ਨਾ ਝੁਕਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਜਜ਼ਬੇ ਦੀ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਯਾਦ ਦਿਵਾਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਵਿਖਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੌਸਲਾ ਅਤੇ ਪੱਕਾ ਇਰਾਦਾ, ਆਉਣ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ, ਇਨਸਾਫ਼ ਅਤੇ ਮਾਣ-ਸਨਮਾਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਦਰਾਂ-ਕੀਮਤਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਪਹਿਰਾ ਦੇਣ ਲਈ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਿਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਆ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।”

“जलियांवाला बाग नरसंहार के सभी अमर बलिदानियों को मेरी आदरपूर्ण श्रद्धांजलि। विदेशी हुकूमत की बर्बरता के खिलाफ उनके अदम्य साहस और स्वाभिमान की गाथा देश की हर पीढ़ी को प्रेरित करती रहेगी।

इन्द्रं वर्धन्तो अप्तुरः कृण्वन्तो विश्वमार्यम्।
अपघ्नन्तो अराव्णः॥"

O industrious people! Nurture those benevolent forces within your society that make the nation prosperous, aware and self-reliant. At the same time, firmly resist the destructive forces that create division, injustice and discontent in society.
