The poor people of the country are saying today ‘Kharche Kam Karaye, Bachat Badhaye Baar Baar – Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’: PM Modi in Bastar
PM Modi says after many decades the country has seen a stable and strong government of BJP. The biggest priority of our government was the welfare of the poor
After Independence, Congress government ignored the needs of the poor for decades, the Congress never cared about the poor, did not even understand their problems: PM Modi
Post-Independence, Congress thought that it had the license to loot the country but after coming to government in 2014, Modi has cancelled the loot license of Congress: PM Modi

In his ongoing election campaigning spree, PM Modi today addressed a public meeting in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. Kickstarting his poll campaign in the state ahead of Lok Sabha election, the PM stated, “"Today, I am here not only to give an account of my 10 years of work but also to express my gratitude to all of you. You have not only formed a BJP government here but also strengthened the foundation of a ’Viksit Bharat’. You have placed your trust in Modi's guarantee. Today, the entire country is saying with that same confidence – ‘Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’!”


“For the poor, there is a very big witness of how BJP has worked, and that is Bastar. It was from Bastar division that I began the construction of the Ayushman Arogya Mandir. These Ayushman Arogya Mandirs have become primary centers for cheap treatment and inexpensive check-ups for the poor across the country. Thousands of Ayushman Arogya Mandirs have been opened here in the state too,” said the PM.


He added, “We have opened more than 11,000 Jan Aushadhi Centers, where medicines are provided with an 80 percent discount. This has saved the poor from spending ₹30,000 crore. This is why today the country's poor are saying – ‘Kharche Kam Karaye, Bachat Badhaye Baar Baar – Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’.”


Lashing out at the corrupt opposition, PM Modi reiterated, “When Modi stopped the path of corrupt individuals, when he put an end to the earnings of middlemen, since then they have been at odds with Modi. Now, angered, they are threatening to break Modi's head with sticks. Modi is the son of the poor, he walks with his head held high... Modi is not afraid of their threats. You tell me, should those who have robbed the poor be punished or not?”


“When I am taking action against corruption, some people are upset and losing their senses. Modi’s mantra is ‘Bhrashtachar Hatao’. They say ‘Bhrashtachari Bachao’. No matter how many threats Modi receives, corrupt individuals will have to go to jail - this is Modi's guarantee,” he added.


Addressing a public rally in Bastar, PM Narendra Modi said, "After independence, Congress thought that it had the license to loot the country but after coming to government in 2014, Modi has cancelled the loot license of Congress and Modi was able to cancel the license because you gave Modi the license. Now their shop has been closed, will they abuse Modi or not? So who will protect me? These crores of my countrymen, my mothers and sisters, have become my Raksha Kavach today."


PM Modi announced that Ram Navami is approaching, and this time, Ayodhya will witness the realization of our dream – a magnificent temple instead of a tent for our Ram Lalla. However, the Congress and the INDI Alliance express discontent over the temple's construction. Furthermore, PM Modi remarked that the Congress's royal family declined the Ram temple consecration invitation, leading to the expulsion of critics within the party. This underscores the Congress's willingness to cross boundaries for appeasement. He further stated that the Congress manifesto carried the imprint of the Muslim League.


Emphasizing the tribal society has always been a priority for the BJP, PM Modi asserted, “The same tribal community that the Congress has historically mocked now sees one of its daughters as the President of the country. It was the BJP that appointed Chhattisgarh's first tribal Chief Minister. The BJP has established separate ministries and budgets for tribal welfare.”


“In the past 10 years, the budget for tribal welfare has increased fivefold. During the Congress government, there were barely a few Ekalavya residential schools nationwide. Today, Chhattisgarh alone has over 70 such schools. While the Congress government provided MSP for only 8-10 forest produce, now this number has reached around 100,” he added. PM Modi stated that ensuring a better life for every tribal family is his guarantee.


In his concluding remarks, PM Modi said, "I was not born to rest but to work. My goal is to develop the nation and make every family prosperous. Every vote cast for the lotus symbol will strengthen Modi's power." The PM stressed, "Therefore, in Bastar, on 19th April, be sure to bless Mahesh Kashyap Ji. In Kanker, on 26th April, ensure that Bhojraj Ji emerges victorious with maximum votes."

PM shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the power of hard work and human endeavor

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today stated that as we mark Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, we recall the courage of all those who were impacted by Partition. He noted that it was a moment in history that tore apart several lives, where families were uprooted, loved ones were lost, and immense suffering was endured.

The Prime Minister highlighted that at the same time, overcoming this, people rebuilt their lives from nothing, turned adversity into achievement, and contributed immensely to our nation’s progress. He observed that their life journeys remind us of the strength of the human spirit. Shri Modi expressed hope that this day may deepen our resolve to preserve harmony and brotherhood in our nation and collectively work towards building a Viksit Bharat.

The Prime Minister offered his heartfelt tributes to all those countrymen who, emerging from that horrific period, made invaluable contributions to the progress of the country. He stated that through their courage and capability, they showed how resolutions are accomplished even in adverse circumstances. Shri Modi called upon everyone to further strengthen the national spirit of goodwill and solidarity.

Sharing a Subhashitam, the Prime Minister emphasized that it is through hard work, enterprise, and dedicated effort that diverse arts, science, technological skills, craftsmanship, and innovations flourish, paving the way for success. He added that therefore, one should not remain dependent on fate; rather, one should move steadily towards one's goals with courage, diligence, and persistent effort, for it is human endeavor that shapes destiny.

In a series of posts on X, the Prime Minister wrote:

"विभाजन विभीषिका स्मृति दिवस पर उन सभी देशवासियों का हृदय से नमन, जिन्होंने उस वीभत्स दौर से निकलकर देश की प्रगति में अमूल्य योगदान दिया। उन्होंने अपने साहस और सामर्थ्य से दिखाया कि कैसे विपरीत परिस्थितियों में भी संकल्पों को सिद्ध किया जाता है। आइए, सद्भावना और एकजुटता की राष्ट्रीय भावना को और सशक्त करें।

उद्यमस्य प्रसादेन दृश्यन्ते विविधाः कलाः।
कातरा एव जल्पन्ति यद् भाव्यं तद् भविष्यति॥”

It is through hard work, enterprise and dedicated effort that diverse arts, science, technological skills, craftsmanship and innovations flourish, paving the way for success.
