Today, resource mafia, drugs mafia & shooter gangs rule the roost in Punjab: PM Modi in Patiala
The state government of Punjab is debt-ridden & its CM is only CM on paper: PM Modi in Patiala
It was I.N.D.I alliance’s divisive politics which caused the partition of India and kept us away from the Kartarpur Sahib for 70 years: PM Modi in Patiala

Ahead of the impending Lok Sabha elections in 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a powerful rally amid a passionate welcome by the people of Patiala, Punjab. PM Modi began his address by paying rich tributes to the land of ‘Guru Tegh Bahadur.’ He said, “After the five phases of voting, the message of the people of India resonates with ‘Fir ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’.” He urged Punjab to vote for the BJP to ensure a ‘Viksit Bharat.’

Speaking on the 2024 elections, PM Modi stated, “This election is a contest between the NDA and the corrupt I.N.D.I alliance to determine India’s future.” He contrasted the two sides by saying, “On one hand, there is Modi who aims to manufacture fighter jets in India, and on the other, there is the I.N.D.I alliance that aimed to dismantle India’s nuclear arsenal.” He added that while the NDA has eliminated terrorism, enabled 25 crores to exit multidimensional poverty, and oriented India’s development towards a ‘Viksit Bharat,’ the I.N.D.I alliance has shed tears for encounters with terrorists, perpetuated generations of poverty, and turned India into a ‘Loot machine.’

Highlighting how Congress-AAP has trampled upon the spirit of Punjab, PM Modi said, “Rampant corruption and dampened industrial prospects have destroyed the state of Punjab.” He added, “Today, resource mafia, drugs mafia, and shooter gangs rule the roost in Punjab.” He criticized the state government, saying, “The state government of Punjab is debt-ridden, and its CM is only CM on paper.” PM Modi added, “Corrupt Congress and AAP are two sides of the same coin,” aiming to plunder Punjab and deprive it of any development.

Lamenting the I.N.D.I alliance for disrespecting India’s culture and development, PM Modi said, “The I.N.D.I alliance is least interested in India’s Vikas and Virasat.” He added that they delayed and boycotted the construction of the Shri Ram Mandir. He accused the alliance of having a character riddled with communalism, casteism, and dynastic politics. He said, “It was the I.N.D.I alliance’s divisive politics that caused the partition of India and kept us away from the Kartarpur Sahib for 70 years.” He praised the BJP government for commemorating ‘Veer Bal Diwas,’ bringing all Sikh brothers and sisters from Afghanistan to safety, and retrieving the ‘Holy Guru Granth Sahib.’Exposing the I.N.D.I alliance's vote-bank politics, PM Modi said, “The I.N.D.I alliance opposes the CAA owing to their vote-bank politics.” He added that for the sake of the vote bank, they aimed to prevent our Sikh brothers and sisters from coming to India after facing the horrors of partition.

“Our government has always been inspired by Sikh traditions,” said PM Modi. He added that this inspiration drives their persistent endeavor to ensure the last-mile reach of developmental benefits and to empower the deprived. He noted the government's prioritization of farmers, enabling a 2.5 times increase in MSP over the last decade. Looking ahead, he said, “In the next 5 years, we aim to make India a manufacturing hub with Punjab's contributions, and Patiala will emerge as a hub for education.”

In conclusion, PM Modi expressed his confidence in the voters of Punjab to enable the BJP to emerge victorious in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
