UPA did everything possible to derail Gujarat's development journey, alleges PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi today highlighted several instances of Congress’ mis-governance and their ignorance towards people of Gujarat.

Shri Modi elaborated that Congress had lost in the first round and were not even thinking about the second round as they knew people here would support the BJP. He added, “Congress has now taken to excuses. Their leaders and cheerleaders are blaming EVMs, including saying they are hacked using Bluetooth.”

He highlighted how Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, former CM Anandiben Patel, other ministers, karyakartas and the PM himself reviewed and ensured relief work for welfare of people when the region faced floods. He accused the Congress and its leaders to have run away from helping people in times of crises. “Gujarat was battling floods but Congress MLAs chose to spend time in Bengaluru resorts”, he added.

Shri Modi remarked, “BJP lives in the hearts of people of Gujarat.”

The PM also took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Aaloo ki factory’ comment and said, “Our farmers work hard and grow potato. If at all the Congress comes to power, there will be no need to do that because their leader says we will produce potatoes in factories! Congress' basic knowledge about agriculture is so poor.”

He lambasted at the Congress party for terming the BJP as a party dedicated to the rich. He affirmed that the BJP governments in the state had always worked for welfare and upliftment poor and would continue to do so. “During peak summer, I would go to the villages of Gujarat and ask parents to educate their children. Whose children were they? Were they Ambani's children? No. They were children of the poor. We are working for poor…When we went to the farmers, did Krishi Mahotsav, we did not go out helping the rich. We went among the poor. Sadly, Congress leaders born with golden spoons will never understand what poverty is.”

The PM shed light on several welfare measures that have transformed lives of people in Gujarat like Sujalam Sufalam Yojana, 108 ambulance services. He also spoke at length about neem coating of urea that immensely benefitted farmers and reduction in prices of stents.

At Nadiad, the PM said that solutions to all troubles were in development. He spoke about several development initiatives undertaken in the state in the last two decades. He rubbished Congress’ claims of lack of development in the state and said that they were only spreading lies.

“My every moment is devoted to serve the 125 crore Indians”, he added further.

The Prime Minister mentioned about the Union Government’s financial inclusion scheme – Jan Dhan Yojana and how nearly 30 crore accounts were opened. He also spoke about how the social security schemes were benefitting several lives.

At Ahmedabad, PM Modi said that India was progressing at fast pace and the world was witnessing the strides the country had been making. “If India is making a mark on the world stage it is due to the 125 crore people of India”, he added.


Shri Modi alleged that UPA did everything possible to derail Gujarat's development journey. He said, “To put gas pipelines in Gujarat's villages (when I had the required budget also), the UPA got worried and did everything to stop that. I had to go to the Supreme Court.”


The PM mentioned that Gujarat had two development engines - one in Gandhinagar and the other in Delhi. The PM said, “Do you see this Sabarmati River? There were circuses held earlier, now see the riverfront. This is development. But for the Congress, Vikas is only where they can make money.” In this context, he spoke about the Pragati initiative that helped accelerate the pace of development.


The PM spoke about his vision of connecting waterways, government’s stress on Swachhata and the startup sector.

PM Modi draws huge crowd at Malda Rally in West Bengal
January 17, 2026
For decades, eastern India was held captive by those who practised divisive politics. The BJP has freed these states from their clutches: PM
In Malda, PM Modi assures the people that a BJP government will take strict action against infiltration and infiltrators
BJP has developed a new model of good governance and development in the country. Today, people across India are embracing it wholeheartedly: PM
PM Modi says with the blessings of Ma Ganga, the river of development will now flow in Bengal as well, and the BJP will make this happen

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a massive public rally in Malda, West Bengal, highlighting the pivotal role of Eastern India in shaping a Viksit Bharat by 2047. He underscored that Eastern India was long shackled by those who thrived on divisive politics, whereas the BJP has freed the region from such constraints.

Touching upon political shifts in the East, PM Modi said, “For the first time, Odisha has formed a BJP government. Tripura has consistently placed its faith in the BJP. Assam too has chosen the BJP in recent elections, and Bihar has recently given a mandate for a BJP–NDA government. With BJP-led good governance surrounding Bengal in all four directions, now it is Bengal’s turn to embrace sushasan.” He added, “Paltano dorkar… chai, BJP shorkar.”

Speaking on development commitments, PM Modi reiterated that the accelerated development of West Bengal is a priority for the BJP-led Central Government. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for multiple rail and infrastructure projects. Bengal also received nearly half a dozen new trains, including India’s first Vande Bharat Sleeper Train, a Made-in-India, high-speed innovation that begins its operations from Bengal with Malda as one of its stations.

PM Modi said, “I am committed with full honesty and dedication to improving the lives of the people of Bengal. Our focus is to ensure housing for the poor, piped water for lakhs of our sisters, and free ration for all eligible beneficiaries. The benefits of Central schemes must reach every citizen.”

Calling out the TMC government, he added, “The TMC is being inhuman and ruthless by depriving the poor of their rights. Funds sent by the Centre for welfare schemes are looted by TMC workers, making them adversaries of Bengal’s poor. They have blocked Ayushman Bharat, which has provided free treatment to millions across the country. A government that denies the poor their healthcare has no right to continue.”

In Malda, he pointed out that the BJP Government at the Centre has launched the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana to provide rooftop solar benefits and reduce household electricity bills to zero. Despite thousands of crores allocated, he said the scheme is obstructed in Bengal, depriving lakhs of households of a transformative opportunity. Also, PM Modi highlighted unemployment-driven migration, neglect of silk farmers, distress among mango farmers, and lack of industrial opportunities.

Referring to corruption and mismanagement by the TMC government, PM Modi said, “The CAG findings on flood relief in Malda expose how genuine victims were denied assistance while TMC-supported individuals received relief transfers multiple times. The PM added, “A BJP government in Bengal will work to restore Malda’s historic glory, expand opportunities for our farmers and youth, and strengthen the mango economy through storage infrastructure and food processing.”

Addressing security concerns, he called infiltration a major threat for Bengal, arguing that infiltrators snatch rights, jobs and security from citizens, disrupt demographic balance and fuel crime and communal tensions. He accused the TMC ecosystem of patronising infiltrators for vote-bank benefits. He assured the people that a BJP government will take strict action against infiltration and infiltrators.

PM Modi urged voters to break this nexus and restore Bengal’s former pride through the power of a single vote. He warned that TMC’s culture of intimidation and violence is nearing its end and that governance rooted in development, dignity and security will prevail.
