Today's massive program underscores BJP's commitment to harnessing the power of women for India's development: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Barasat event, in West Bengal and greeted the audience with full vigour. The overjoyed crowd at the event showered love and admiration to the PM.

The PM positively remarked, “Today's massive program underscores BJP's commitment to harnessing the power of women for India's development” and added that "BJP has engaged thousands of women self-help groups nationwide. Today, in West Bengal, we witness a significant conference uniting sisters from these groups, furthering the cause of empowerment and progress.”


Taking pride in India’s infrastructural connectivity, PM Modi made the crowd aware of the fact that new routes connected to the Kolkata Metro, Pune Metro, Kochi Metro, Agra Metro, and Namo Bharat Trains have been expanded. The PM also set the narrative that modernizing the country's public transport is a priority of the Government of India today.

In retrospect, the PM mentioned that “In the 40 years preceding 2014, only 28 kilometres of Kolkata Metro route was constructed. However, under the BJP government in the last decade alone, Kolkata Metro has expanded by an additional 31 kilometres. This exemplifies BJP's sincere dedication to the development of Bengal and the nation as a whole over the past decade.”


Taking an explicit jibe at the opposition, the PM said, “With the NDA's return confirmed for the third term, Indi Alliance leaders are rattled, launching full-force attacks on Modi. They've resorted to personal jabs, questioning my family.” The PM went on to assure that, “Their desperate tactics won't distract from our commitment to progress.” The PM also challenged that to look for Modi’s family, the opposition should look at the crowd of people filled with respect and admiration surrounding him, standing by him and supporting him at the event.

In a voice filled with pride and love, PM Modi said, “These sisters of my country, who have come here in large numbers, who are associated with this program from every corner of the country – are Modi Ka Parivaar.”, and that “Today every countryman is calling themselves Modi's Ka Parivaar.”

Reminiscing his childhood days, PM Modi said that when he used to travel with his “jhola”, a lot of women and families used to ask him, saying, "Beta, have you had food or not?" The PM still feels gratified by all these gestures and the hard days he had to endure.


Shading light on our neighbourhood country, the PM significantly observed, “Bangladesh, a beacon of women empowerment, has nurtured countless inspiring figures like Mother Sharda, Rani Rasmani, Sister Nivedita, Sarala Devi, Matangini Hazra, Kalpana Dutta, Pritilata, Bina Das, and Nanibala Devi”, but “under TMC rule, atrocities against women have stained this sacred land. Despite grave sins in places like Sandeshkhali, the TMC government remains indifferent to the suffering.” The women of Bengal and the nation are incensed by this disregard. This wave of women's anger won't be confined to Sandeshkhali” the PM maintained.

Exposing the sorry state of affairs in Bengal, PM Modi stated, “Under the influence of appeasement and vested interests, the TMC government fails to ensure the safety of sisters and daughters.” The PM shared a contrasting picture and exclaimed, “BJP-led central government has enacted stringent measures, including the death penalty for serious crimes like rape. A dedicated women's helpline has been established to facilitate easy reporting during crises.”


The PM also shared the success stories of Central Government schemes implemented in West Bengal, “Through schemes like Mudra Yojana, over Rs. 1.25 lakh crore has been granted to women entrepreneurs in West Bengal. Additionally, 3 crore women farmers have received funds through PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. The PM Vishwakarma Yojana supports sisters in artisanal industries with over Rs. 13 thousand crore allocated.”

With immense hope, the PM shared that the BJP government has come up with another big scheme for women. Modi government has started the Namo Drone Didi scheme for village sisters. With this, sisters are being trained as drone pilots and the BJP government will give drones to these sisters, which will be useful in farming.


With sheer discontent and disregard towards the Bengal government, PM Modi also mentioned that “The Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaign has saved the lives of countless daughters across the country. However, the TMC government in Bengal hindered its implementation. Under Ujjwala, we provided free gas connections to 10 crore sisters nationwide, along with affordable cylinders.”, and added, “Despite the success of Ujjwala nationwide, over 14 lakh applications for connections remain pending in Bengal due to TMC government's inaction.”

The PM put forward India’s progressive portrait and remarked, “Today, our President, a daughter from a tribal community, embodies this vision of Modi Ki Guarantee and that Modi government fulfilled promises of reservation for sisters in Lok Sabha and Assembly. He also ensured Muslim sisters' freedom from triple talaq, with your support.”


The PM in his conclusion again reminded the countrymen that, “Wherever the Indi Alliance holds sway, women suffer atrocities. The TMC's dominance in Bengal eclipses the state's progress. It's crucial for all sisters to defeat the Indi Alliance and pave the way for development by ensuring the lotus blooms in every corner of the country.”
The PM hoped for a glorious victory ahead and promised the fulfilment of the Modi Ki Guarantee and last-mile connectivity.

PM to land at the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) on Moran Bypass in Dibrugarh
ELF - first of its kind in Northeast India - will serve as a critical asset for strategic requirements and emergency response during natural disasters
PM to inaugurate and flag off various projects worth over Rs. 5,450 crore in Guwahati
PM to inaugurate Kumar Bhaskar Varma Setu across River Brahmaputra

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Assam on 14th February 2026. At around 10:30 AM, Prime Minister will land at the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) on Moran Bypass in Dibrugarh, where he will witness the Aerial Display of Fighters, Transports and Helicopters. At around 1 PM, Prime Minister will visit Kumar Bhaskar Varma Setu across River Brahmaputra. Thereafter, at around 1:30 PM, Prime Minister will inaugurate and flag off various projects worth more than Rs 5,450 crore at Lachit Ghat, Guwahati.

The Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) is the first of its kind in Northeast India. It has been specially designed and constructed in coordination with the Indian Air Force to support landing and take-off of military and civil aircraft during emergencies. It will serve as a critical asset for emergency response, enabling quick deployment of rescue and relief operations during natural disasters or strategic requirements in the Northeast. Envisioned as dual-use infrastructure, the ELF is capable of handling fighter aircraft up to 40 tonnes and transport aircraft up to 74 tonnes maximum take-off weight.

Prime Minister will inaugurate several key projects aimed at accelerating connectivity, strengthening digital infrastructure, promoting higher education, and enhancing public transport, thereby giving a significant boost to development in the North-Eastern Region.

Prime Minister will inaugurate Kumar Bhaskar Varma Setu across River Brahmaputra, built at a cost of around Rs 3,030 crore. The 6-lane extradosed Prestressed Concrete (PSC) bridge connects Guwahati with North Guwahati and is the first extradosed bridge in Northeast India. It will cut travel time between Guwahati-North Guwahati to 7 minutes. Considering the high seismicity of the region, the bridge incorporates base isolation technology using friction pendulum bearings. High-performance stay cables have been used to ensure durability and long-term structural performance. A Bridge Health Monitoring System (BHMS) has also been incorporated for real-time condition monitoring, early damage detection and improved safety and service life of the extradosed bridge.

Prime Minister will inaugurate the National Data Centre for North Eastern Region at Amingaon in Kamrup district of Assam. The state-of-the-art Data Centre, with a total sanctioned load of 8.5 MW and an average rack capacity of 10 kW per rack, will host mission-critical applications of various government departments and also function as a Disaster Recovery centre for other National Data Centres. This will enable governments in the Northeast to digitally facilitate delivery of essential citizen-centric services. Aligned with the vision of Digital India, National Data Centre for North Eastern Region has been envisaged as a strategic intervention to strengthen the region’s ICT backbone and ensure robust, secure and always-available digital infrastructure. Prime Minister will also inaugurate IIM Guwahati, which will give a major fillip to higher education and management education in the North-Eastern Region.

Prime Minister will also flag off 225 electric buses under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme in Guwahati (100), Nagpur (50), Bhavnagar (50) and Chandigarh (25). With the launch of e-bus operations under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme in these four cities, more than 50 lakh citizens are expected to benefit through access to clean, affordable and reliable public transport services, contributing to improved urban mobility and enhanced quality of life.
