Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed public meetings in Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi and Prayagraj. PM Modi started his address by highlighting that after a long time, elections in UP are being held where a government is seeking votes based on development works done by it, based on works done in the interest of the poor and based on an improved situation of Law & Order.


PM Modi spoke on the importance of 24th February to him. PM Modi said, “Today is a special day in my life because today PM Kisan Samman Nidhi completes three years…for the last three years, the money of this scheme is going directly into the bank accounts of the farmers.” PM Modi further spoke, “20 years ago today, 24th February was the date when I became MLA for the first time. People of Rajkot had blessed me and the journey of Seva began from there.” PM Modi also told people that PM KISAN has given more than 800 crores to the farmers of Amethi and Sultanpur.


Hitting out at the opposition, PM Modi said, “The whole of Uttar Pradesh, the whole country has seen the attitude of the ‘Parivarvadis’ regarding the vaccine. These people tried to defame the vaccine made in India and called it the vaccine of the BJP.” PM Modi made people aware that his own mother who is 100 years of age has followed all protocols of getting the vaccination. PM Modi said, “I took the vaccine when my number came. My mother is a hundred years old and she also did not break the line. It was only when her number came that my mother also got the vaccine. The PM and her mother, both followed the rules.”


PM Modi further said, “Had these ‘Parivarvadis’ been in the government, they would have got the vaccine first by breaking all the lines.”


Talking further on the success of the Double Engine Sarkar in Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi said, “15 crore beneficiaries of UP are getting the double benefit of free ration in this difficult time. Our government has given free gas connections to one crore 65 lakh poor families of UP. Our government has provided pucca houses to 34 lakh poor families of UP. Under PM SWAMITVA Yojana, we are giving you a solid legal document of your house, your land.”


PM Modi came out heavily on vote bank politics and ‘Parivarvad’ politics. PM Modi said, “Today their decisions are taken according to the politics of this vote bank. If this decision is against the interest of the country, these leaders do not hesitate to take that decision. They act only to remain in power”. PM Modi added, “You just saw that Gujarat court has sentenced 38 terrorists who killed people in the bomb blasts. But fearing vote bank, these parties did not even dare to welcome the court's decision.”


PM Modi called out the fallacies of ‘Parivarvad’, PM Modi said, “When the family members commit any mistake, they do corruption, then no action is taken against them. After all, those who have been accused of corruption are also their family members. At the time of action, family relationships come in the way of justice.”


PM Modi also targeted familial politics in the country. PM Modi said, “BJP is not, and never will be, a private party of Fathers and Sons… In the last four decades, different people became the party president of the BJP but no one became the president under the influence of any family. Whereas in the last four-five decades, we have seen more or less the heads of the same family become presidents of Congress”. PM Modi further added, “Seeing Congress' vision, many people all over the country adopted this culture. Congress or Samajwadi Party, has remained hostage to one family for the past several decades.”

PM Modi finally addressed that Amethi could have been developed a lot earlier under the previous governments but was left out intentionally. Lashing out at the opposition, PM Modi remarked, “Those whom you respected, respected for years, after leaving Amethi, they went to Kerala and started cursing your intellect, started questioning your understanding.” PM Modi iterated that it was only the Double Engine Sarkar that has worked day and night to develop Amethi in a true sense.

Addressing his second rally in Prayagraj ahead of the fifth phase of elections, PM Modi said, “Prayagraj's reputation is also due to its intellectual people, its culture, literature and art love. All of you are aware of how important it is for India to be strong in the changed world order. A strong India is not possible without a strong Uttar Pradesh. The dynastic politicians who are seeking votes from you will never be able to form a strong, modern UP.”


“Those who hate the name Prayagraj, what development work will they do for this city? BJP and its allies have worked continuously for 5 years in Prayagraj. BJP's double engine government has changed the politics of the country as well as of UP,” said PM Modi during the rally.


Slamming the previous governments for cheating people of UP in the name of jobs, PM Modi reiterated, “The youths who come here from all over the state and country were deceived by these extreme Parivarvadis. For them, merit was not important, but recommendation, casteism, regionalism and bundles of notes (bribery) were everything.”

 


“Today, they are again cheating youth of UP in the name of employment. They only provided government jobs to 2 lakh people in 10 years. Yogi government in five years has given government jobs to 5 lakh youth,” added PM Modi.

He further alleged, “Earlier in Uttar Pradesh, the syllabus of PCS exam and UPSC syllabus was different. Students used to prepare separately for these two exams, a lot of their time was spent in it. Our government understood their problem. Today, UP PSC and UPSC syllabus are almost similar. We have ended interviews for group C and D jobs. This has also helped youth.”

Intensifying his attacks against rivals, PM Modi said, “Parivarvadi parties have started abusing the EVMs after the fourth phase of polls. For those who wait for exit polls, I would tell them not to do so. As soon as they start blaming EVMs, understand that the Parivarvadi party's game is over.” Also, Prime Minister Modi urged people to vote for BJP and its allies in large numbers.

Prime Minister urges MPs to vote in favour of Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam Amendment, Calls it Historic Opportunity
April 17, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has highlighted that a discussion is currently underway in Parliament on the amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, noting that deliberations continued till 1 AM last night.

He stated that all misconceptions surrounding the amendment have been addressed with logical responses, and every concern raised by members has been resolved. The Prime Minister added that necessary information, wherever lacking, has also been provided to all members, ensuring that issues of opposition have been clarified.

Emphasising that the issue of women’s reservation has witnessed political debates for nearly four decades, the Prime Minister said that the time has now come to ensure that women, who constitute half of the country’s population, receive their rightful representation.

He observed that even after decades of independence, the low representation of women in the decision-making process is not appropriate and needs to be corrected.

The Prime Minister informed that voting in the Lok Sabha is expected shortly and urged all political parties to take a thoughtful and sensitive decision by voting in favour of the women’s reservation amendment.

Appealing on behalf of the women of the country, he urged all Members of Parliament to ensure that no action hurts the sentiments of Nari Shakti. He noted that crores of women are looking towards the Parliament, its intent, and its decisions.

The Prime Minister called upon MPs to reflect upon their families-mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives—and listen to their inner conscience while making the decision.

He described the amendment as a significant opportunity to serve and honour the women of the nation and urged members not to deprive them of new opportunities.

Expressing confidence, the Prime Minister said that if the amendment is passed unanimously, it will further strengthen Nari Shakti as well as the country’s democracy.

Calling it a historic moment, he urged all members to come together to create history by granting rightful representation to women, who form half of India’s population.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“संसद में इस समय नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन पर चर्चा चल रही है। कल रात भी एक बजे तक चर्चा चली है।

जो भ्रम फैलाए गए, उनको दूर करने के लिए तर्कबद्ध जवाब दिया गया है। हर आशंका का समाधान किया गया है। जिन जानकारियों का अभाव था, वो जानकारियां भी हर सदस्य को दी गई हैं। किसी के मन में विरोध का जो कोई भी विषय था, उसका भी समाधान हुआ है।

महिला आरक्षण के इस विषय पर देश में चार दशक तक बहुत राजनीति कर ली गई है। अब समय है कि देश की आधी आबादी को उसके अधिकार अवश्य मिलें।

आजादी के इतने दशकों बाद भी भारत की महिलाओं का निर्णय प्रक्रिया में इतना कम प्रतिनिधित्व रहे, ये ठीक नहीं।

अब कुछ ही देर लोकसभा में मतदान होने वाला है। मैं सभी राजनीतिक दलों से आग्रह करता हूं… अपील करता हूं...

कृपया करके सोच-विचार करके पूरी संवेदनशीलता से निर्णय लें, महिला आरक्षण के पक्ष में मतदान करें।

मैं देश की नारी शक्ति की तरफ से भी सभी सदस्यों से प्रार्थना करूंगा… कुछ भी ऐसा ना करें, जिनसे नारीशक्ति की भावनाएं आहत हों।

देश की करोड़ों महिलाओं की दृष्टि हम सभी पर है, हमारी नीयत पर है, हमारे निर्णय पर है। कृपया करके नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन का साथ दें।”

“मैं सभी सांसदों से कहूंगा...

आप अपने घर में मां-बहन-बेटी-पत्नी सबका स्मरण करते हुए अपनी अंतरात्मा को सुनिए ...

देश की नारीशक्ति की सेवा का, उनके वंदन का ये बहुत बड़ा अवसर है।

उन्हें नए अवसरों से वंचित नहीं करिए।

ये संशोधन सर्वसम्मति से पारित होगा, तो देश की नारीशक्ति और सशक्त होगी… देश का लोकतंत्र और सशक्त होगा।

आइए… हम मिलकर आज इतिहास रचें। भारत की नारी को… देश की आधी आबादी को उसका हक दें।”

"Parliament is discussing a historic legislation that paves the way for women’s reservation in legislative bodies. The discussions, which began yesterday, lasted till around 1 AM and have continued since the House proceedings began this morning.

The Government has addressed all apprehensions and misconceptions relating to the legislation with facts and logic. All concerns have been addressed and any gaps in information have also been filled.

For nearly four decades, this issue of women’s reservation in legislative bodies has been inordinately delayed. Now is the time to ensure that half of the nation’s population receives its rightful due in decision making. Even after so many decades of Independence, it is not right that women in India have such limited representation in this area.

In a short while from now, voting will take place in the Lok Sabha. I urge and appeal to all political parties to reflect carefully and take a sensitive decision by voting in favour of women’s reservation.

On behalf of our Nari Shakti, I also request all members not to do anything that may hurt the sentiments of women across India. Crores of women are watching us…our intent and our decisions. I once again request that everyone support the amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.”

"I would like to appeal to all Members of Parliament…

Please reflect upon your conscience, remembering the women in your own families.

The legislation to ensure women’s reservation in legislative bodies is a significant opportunity to do justice to women of our nation.

Please do not deprive our Nari Shakti of new opportunities.

If this amendment is passed unanimously, it will further empower the women of our country and strengthen our democracy.

Let us come together today to create history.

Let us ensure that the women of India, who are half of the nation’s population, receive their rightful due.”
