Prime Minister Narendra Modi graced a public meeting ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections, 2024 in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. The audience welcomed the PM with love and adoration. Manifesting a third term, PM Modi exemplified his vision for Tamil Nadu and the entire nation as a whole.
Initiating his interaction with the crowd, PM Modi extended his heartfelt wishes on the auspicious occasion of Puthandu. The PM also shared that the BJP has released its manifesto for the resolution of New India in the New Year. PM Modi confidently added, “People are regarding BJP's Sankalp Patra as Modi Ki Guarantee card, promising free treatment for seniors over 70, expanding Kisan Samriddhi Kendras, and establishing India as a food processing hub. Additionally, BJP pledges to develop new production clusters for fisheries and promote seaweed and pearl cultivation among fishermen, all in line with Modi's vision for a prosperous Tamil Nadu and India.”
PM Modi also shared snippets from the NDA government’s tireless efforts towards Tamil Nadu’s development and said, “Initiatives like the Vande Bharat Express from Tirunelveli to Chennai have enhanced convenience and spurred progress. Now, the BJP's manifesto promises to extend this progress with the introduction of bullet trains in the South, with surveys set to begin once the third term commences.”
“Today, the people of Tamil Nadu, as well as surveys, echo the resounding blessings towards Modi, leaving many puzzled. What they fail to grasp is Modi's decade-long commitment to serving and winning the hearts of mothers and sisters. Emerging from humble beginnings, Modi understands the struggles faced by impoverished women first-hand. Upon assuming office, he dedicated himself to improving their quality of life, a mission that has greatly benefited the mothers, sisters, and daughters of Tamil Nadu,” the PM observed with humility.
Taking his firm stand on women empowerment, PM Modi thanked the schemes introduced by the BJP government through which “women in Tamil Nadu have gained new employment and self-employment opportunities. The Mudra Scheme alone has provided around Rs 3 lakh crore to Tamil Nadu residents, greatly benefiting women. Now, BJP's manifesto promises to increase Mudra Yojana assistance from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh, aiming to empower 3 crore women as 'Lakhpati Didis'. Furthermore, the manifesto pledges to provide training to 10 crore sisters from Self Help Groups in sectors like IT, education, and tourism, ensuring significant benefits for the women of Tamil Nadu.”
PM Modi praising the unique culture and heritage of Tamil Nadu noted that, “The one who loves Tamil language, who loves Tamil culture, today BJP has become his first choice.”
Presenting a sharp contrast between the NDA government and the opposition parties, PM Modi said, “BJP is dedicated to advancing the vision of leaders like MGR in Tamil Nadu, contrasting with DMK's historical disregard for MGR's legacy. The people remember how DMK disrespected Jayalalitha Ji in the House. Additionally, the NDA government addressed the long-standing demand of the Devendrakula Vellalar community, highlighting parallels between their aspirations and Narendra's leadership.”
“The nation now sees the truth about the anti-national alliance between DMK and Congress. Their actions, like giving away Katchatheevu Island, still haunt our fishermen. This injustice, concealed for four decades, has left the people of Tamil Nadu speechless since BJP brought it to light,” the PM shared his discontent.
PM Modi also stated with hope that, “Today, those who want to build the future of their children are voting for BJP. Today, those who want to move ahead with the resolve of a developed India are voting for BJP.”
PM Modi in his final address to Tamil Nadu for the Lok Sabha Elections, 2024, confidently predicts that “the state is poised to make history. Tamil Nadu will decisively support the NDA alliance this time, inspired by BJP's governance and development model.” Attacking the opposition the PM said, “The illusion propagated by DMK and Congress, claiming BJP's insignificance in Tamil Nadu, will be shattered. They lack substantive issues and rely on old negative agendas. Tamil Nadu's people understand that these parties cannot deliver on their promises or preserve the state's culture.”
The PM also urged the first-time voters of Tamil Nadu to break the cycle and vote for the NDA and promised that together, “we will propel Tamil Nadu towards comprehensive development.”
In his closing thoughts, the PM aspired for the people of Tamil Nadu, “On April 19th, vote for NDA to drive both national and Tamil Nadu's development. Despite DMK's attempts to hinder BJP-NDA campaigning, remember, the people of Tamil Nadu stand by you, and so do I. Let's aim for maximum votes at every booth on the 19th May.”
PM Modi expressed gratitude to every individual in the audience and requested them to kindly convey his warm regards to everyone door to door.
