Every vote cast on Lotus symbol on 19th April will strengthen the resolve for a ‘Viksit Bharat’: PM Modi in Nawada

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taken aback by the love and admiration from the jubilant crowd in Nawada, Bihar as he addresses them ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections, 2024. The PM reciprocated his affection towards the crowd and discussed several key issues in his speech. “I said this from the ramparts of Red Fort that this is the right time. India's time has come. We should not lose this opportunity and hence this election of 2024 has become very important,” remarked the PM.

PM Modi initiated his address by expressing his gratitude for the love and blessings he has received from Nawada, considering himself a fortunate one. PM Modi expressed, “The heights the country has touched in the last 10 years, the development work that has been done in the country, and its reflection are visible in the huge public support that NDA is getting. That is why today the whole country is saying – Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar!”

PM Modi asserted with hope that “In the past decade, Bihar has witnessed significant national-interest decisions. Today, modern expressways are being constructed in Bihar, railway stations are being modernized, and trains like Vande Bharat are increasing. The digital revolution has brought government services to mobile devices. India's influence is expanding globally. I am confident Bihar will contribute to India's journey towards development.”

The PM confided his thoughts to the crowd and conveyed that, “Modi is engaged in the mission to eliminate poverty from the country. Like you, I have come here after living in poverty. I can never forget what was the situation in the country before 2014.”

PM Modi also added, “Modi, the son of the poor, is dedicated to serving the impoverished. I vow to eradicate poverty nationwide. The past decade has seen unprecedented efforts for the welfare of the poor, surpassing six decades post-independence. 25 crores people have been uplifted from poverty in this time.” The PM yet again reiterated that “this is just the beginning, this is just a trailer, with much more yet to accomplish. We have to take the country and Bihar to new heights.”

PM Modi enlightened the crowd with BJP’s vision that includes, “More guarantees from Modi which are forthcoming in the third term. Modi promises to uplift three crore village sisters to become 'Lakhpati Didis'. Another assurance is to empower women from rural and poor families to become drone pilots. Additionally, Modi has initiated the 'PM Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana' to eliminate electricity bills for the underprivileged.”

The PM taking a jibe at the opposition, said, “The INDI Alliance lacks vision and credibility, with members who contradict each other in different states. In Bihar, conflict arises as one leader claims candidacy over another from the same alliance. Their unity appears forced, driven solely by a selfish desire for power. Critics label the INDI Alliance as a sanctuary for corruption.” Also, PM Modi jabbed at a leader of the INDI Alliance who remained sulking at home until he is declared the candidate for the Prime Minister.

PM Modi exposed the harsh realities of the opposition and affirmed that “Those advocating for the country's division, supporting corruption, or threatening Sanatan Dharma's existence - can Bihar forgive them? Congress-RJD, addicted to power and corruption, are undeserving of even a single vote.”

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi expressed profound appreciation to all attendees for their participation, underscoring their contribution to the event's success. He reaffirmed his dedication to realizing the dreams of the common citizen, pledging that their aspirations remain his foremost priority. Encouraging the audience, he emphasized every vote cast on Lotus symbol on 19th April will strengthen the resolve for a developed India.

He emphasized the need to further strengthen the nation’s resolve towards self-reliance and highlighted the importance of adopting and implementing global best practices, particularly in the renewable energy sector.

Underscoring the importance of cooperative federalism, Prime Minister stated that the Centre and the States must work together to achieve the goal of a Viksit Bharat. He stressed that the vision of Viksit Bharat should become the collective resolve of every State, district, block and village.

Highlighting the strength of India’s demographic profile, Prime Minister observed that the country’s youth constitute its greatest asset, with nearly 70 crore Indians below the age of 25 years. Calling this a demographic dividend, he urged States to focus on transforming it into a development dividend through education, skilling and capacity-building initiatives that prepare young people for future opportunities and challenges.

Referring to India’s recently concluded trade agreements with several countries, Prime Minister encouraged States to create opportunities for youth and MSMEs and to equip stakeholders to effectively leverage the benefits arising from these agreements.

He noted that the purchase of 11 lakh tonnes of organic manure by farmers during the current Kharif season reflected growing confidence in sustainable agriculture.

Prime Minister emphasized the need to evaluate progress at the district level, particularly through aspirational district parameters. Prime Minister suggested that on similar lines, 100 districts should be identified in the field of agriculture to bring positive results. He urged the States to take lead in this pursuit so that a phenomenal change can be achieved through the aspirational approach.

Prime Minister emphasised the need for a monitoring framework and targeted 100-day and five-year goals towards achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047.

He emphasized that AI should be viewed as an opportunity and called for greater efforts to equip people with the skills required for the future economy.

The Chief Ministers/Lt. Governors/Administrators congratulated Prime Minister Modi on completing 12 years in his office. They also expressed solidarity with the Centre to withstand the global geo-political crisis and to strengthen India’s resilience with respect to energy requirements, and sustain its growth trajectory.

Prime Minister noted that the discussions were constructive and reflected the aspirations, hopes, experiences, best practices, and challenges of the States. Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to all the CMs, LGs and Administrators for participating in the meeting and expressed confidence that Together, through cooperation, innovation, and a shared commitment to development, India can accelerate its journey towards a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
