"Grand welcome for Narendra Modi at Pune airport"
"India can reach new heights on the strength of the people: Narendra Modi"
"Am travelling across the country and can see that the direction of the wind is changing. Congress will not stay in power: Narendra Modi"
"Under Morarji Desai and Atal ji’s governments price rise was kept under check but when Congress forms a government or supports one, prices of commodities rise: Narendra Modi"
"PM is theirs, the Government is theirs but they still keep asking Modi for answers: Narendra Modi"
"When the people bless the BJP to serve them in 2014, the Government would answer the people not every five years but every year: Narendra Modi"

The BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Shri Narendra Modi landed in Pune to a very grand welcome by Maharashtra BJP leaders and Karyakartas. Speaking to the Karyakartas after landing at Pune airport, Shri Narendra Modi expressed confidence that India can reach newer heights of progress on the strength of the people of India but took on the Congress led UP government for its failure to harness this potential of 125 crore people of India. “India has immense skill but this Government in Delhi neither harnessed these skills nor gave jobs to the people,” he said. Narendra Modi stated that he is travelling across the country and it is evident that the direction of the wind is changing and that the Congress Party will not stay in power. He also affirmed that the Congress was trying to spread all kinds of lies and misuse central agencies but the blessings of the people of India and the path of truth keep him going. Shri Modi avowed, “I have faith in your blessings. I will live for you and will devote my life for you.”

Shri Modi affirmed that the nation has seen Governments run by various parties be it the Congress, the Left, regional parties, coalitions and they have seen the work of BJP governments. He called for political pundits to set common parameters to study the work of each of these governments and expressed confidence that when this happens, the question of whether to make the BJP victorious or not will never arise because it will be very clear that wherever the BJP has served, they have fulfilled aspirations of the people.

He said that there were two Governments in the Centre that the BJP (and its previous form the Jana Sangh) was a part of namely the Morarji Desai Government and the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government and in both the cases the governments did not allow prices of commodities to rise. However, when Congress forms a government or supports one, prices of commodities rise, Shri Modi affirmed.

Continuing his attack on the UPA, Shri Modi pointed that in a democracy the Government has to answer the people but the Congress-led UPA government has not answered the people in the last 9 years and only preferred to make allegations. He commented that the PM is theirs, the Government is theirs but they still keep asking Modi for answers. Shri Modi assured the people that when the people bless the BJP to serve them in 2014, the Government would answer the people not every five years but every year! “
Dilli me Shasak nahi Sevak baithnachahiye. Nath nahi, Janata ke das hone chahiye,” Shri Modi opined.

The BJP’s PM candidate categorically urged the Congress not to mislead the people of India in the name of asking questions on Gujarat because 10 months ago, when Gujarat voted the Gujarat government answered all their questions and that is why the people of Gujarat blessed them with a third consecutive term with a 2/3rd majority. This despite concerted attempts by the Congress to spent lies, he added.

Shri Modi asked the Congress-led UPA what happened to the series of promises they made, including to bring down prices in 100 days. He further said that those who make false promises cannot stay in Delhi. He asked why is Delhi unsafe for women despite the Congress President and the Chief Minister of Delhi being women.

Maharashtra BJP President Shri Dev Fadnavis, Rajya Sabha MP Shri Prakash Javdekar and several other leaders were present on the occasion.

The World This Week On India
December 31, 2024

India has been under the international spotlight this week, with significant developments in diplomacy, economic growth, technological advancement, and cultural recognition. From pivotal diplomatic visits to groundbreaking achievements in defense and technology, India’s story has been one of progress and influence on the world stage.

Diplomatic Triumphs

One of the focal points of this week was the achievements of PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Kuwait on Dec 21-22, the first bilateral prime ministerial visit to the Gulf nation in 43 years.
The world sees the visit PM Narendra Modi’s strategic move to strengthen ties in a region undergoing significant transitions. It not only closes a crucial gap in India’s diplomacy with the Gulf but also signals the nation’s proactive stance in navigating the complex geopolitics of West Asia.

Economic and Technological Advances

  • In the realm of finance and technology, India has made headlines by surpassing China to top the Asian IPO rankings. According to data from Dealogic for 2024, India is poised to become the world’s second-largest equity fundraising market, a testament to the robust investor confidence in the Indian market. This achievement reflects India’s economic resilience and growth potential.
  • India has also taken significant steps towards semiconductor self-reliance. The initiation of construction for semiconductor fabrication and packaging units marks a promising start in the nation’s quest to carve a niche in the global semiconductor industry. Read more about this here.
  • Additionally, India’s maritime sector is set for a transformation, with an investment of $10 billion over the next 25 years to make India one of the world’s top shipbuilding nations. This development not only aims at bolstering India’s maritime capabilities but also positions it as a key player in the global maritime industry.

Defense and Strategic Developments

  • India’s strides in defense technology have also been a topic of global conversation. The successful test of a hypersonic missile places India among an elite group of nations with such capabilities, enhancing its strategic posture in regional geopolitics. This advancement underlines India’s growing military prowess.
  • Adding to the narrative of self-reliance, Prime Minister Modi’s push for domestic production of defense equipment, including the K9 Vajra-T artillery platforms, has been highlighted. This initiative not only boosts the ‘Make in India’ campaign but also fortifies national security through indigenous innovation.

Cultural and Leadership Recognition

  • In the cultural sphere, the influence of Indian cinema was acknowledged with tributes to Shyam Benegal, an influential director known for his contributions to India’s ‘parallel cinema.’ Benegal’s work from the 1970s, which challenged mainstream Bollywood by focussing on social issues, has been celebrated, reflecting India’s rich cultural fabric on the international stage.

Religious Freedom and Vision for the Future

  • The discourse on India’s democratic ethos was enriched by statements from figures like Mary Millben, who praised India’s commitment to religious freedom as a hallmark of its democracy. Such endorsements bolster India’s image as a pluralistic society.
  • India’s goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047 as envisioned by PM Modi has received endorsement from Indermit Gill, chief economist at World Bank. Complementing PM Modi on his vision, Gill believes that India will see its prime potential over the next two decades. Read more about India’s future prospects here.

The week has painted a picture of India as a nation on the move, not just in terms of economic metrics but also in cultural, technological, and diplomatic arenas. The global coverage reflects a growing recognition of India’s multifaceted development and its increasing influence on the world stage.

From the Gulf’s diplomatic corridors to the cutting-edge labs of defense technology, from the boardrooms of American companies to the cultural dialogues of cinema, India’s story this week has been one of global engagement, innovation, and leadership.
