QuoteIn Meerut, PM Modi says we are working on the big decisions we need to make in the first 100 days of our next term

Ahead of the Lok Sabha Election 2024, PM Modi kickstarted the Bharatiya Janata Party poll campaign in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut with a mega rally. Addressing the gathering, the PM said, “With this land of Meerut, I share a special bond. In 2014 and 2019... I began my election campaign from here. Now, the first rally of the 2024 elections is also happening in Meerut. The 2024 elections are not just about forming a government. The 2024 elections are about building a Viksit Bharat.”

PM Modi added, “The verdict of 2024 will make India the world's third-largest economic power. When India was at the 11th position in the world, poverty surrounded the country from all sides. When India reached the 5th position, 25 crore citizens were lifted out of poverty. When India reaches the third position globally, poverty will be eradicated from the country.” Consequently, he highlighted the nationwide support for surpassing 400 seats in the upcoming elections with the slogan "4 June, 400 Paar."

Outlining a roadmap for the upcoming 5 years, the PM remarked, “Our government has already begun preparations for the third term. We are charting a roadmap for the next 5 years. Rapid progress is being made in determining major decisions to be taken in the first 100 days. The momentum of development established over the past 10 years will now accelerate even further. In these 10 years, you have witnessed the trailer of development. Now, we must take the country much further ahead.”

PM Modi stated that in the past decade, several once-deemed-impossible tasks have been achieved. The construction of the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, once considered impossible, has been completed. Thousands visit daily for darshan. He said, “... just like Kanha and Radha play Holi in Braj every year, this time even Ram Lalla enjoyed Holi in Ayodhya.”

Highlighting strides in women's empowerment over the past decade, PM Modi asserted. “We have transformed millions of sisters and daughters into entrepreneurs for the first time in the country, opening doors for them in the military and other professions. Whether it's the police or paramilitary forces, today the number of women has more than doubled.” Additionally, he mentioned the substantial increase in women joining Self-help groups, and talked about the Namo Drone Didi Scheme which is also set to change the fate of women in rural areas.

Taking potshots at the INDI Alliance, PM Modi said, “I am taking action against corruption, which has made some people uneasy. 'I say eradicate corruption, they say save the corrupt.' They think Modi will be afraid of them. But for me, ‘Mera Bharat, Mera Parivar Hai.’ I am taking every step to save my country from corrupt people. That's why many big corrupt individuals are behind bars today. That's why many big corrupt individuals have had to take bail.”

PM Modi emphasized his commitment to recovering the money lost by individuals. He asserted that regardless of the attacks against him, he won't relent. “No matter how big the corrupt person is, there will be action, and there must be action. Whoever has looted the country will have to return it - this is Modi's guarantee,” he said.

Addressing the large crowd of enthusiastic supporters, PM Modi spoke about how the Congress and INDI Alliance are continually undermining the integrity and unity of the country. He said, “Today, yet another anti-national act of the Congress has come to light. There is an island a few kilometers away from India's coastline in Tamil Nadu - Katchatheevu. This island is of great strategic importance for security and has been an integral part of India. However, the Congress, decades ago, stated that this island is unnecessary, that nothing happens there... and while saying this, they handed over the island to Sri Lanka.”

“The nation continues to pay the price for this conduct of the Congress. Fishermen from India who accidentally stray towards this island are arrested. The Congress falls silent on its grave mistake. Parties like DMK also remain silent on this issue. Can such an INDI Alliance make decisions in the interest of the nation?” he added.

Launching attack on Congress and SP, PM Modi said, “They neither think in the interest of the country's soldiers nor in the interest of its farmers. The INDI Alliance, which harbors animosity towards farmers, did not even give proper respect to Chaudhary Charan Singh Ji. Congress and SP will never be forgiven by the farmers and the people of this region.”

PM Modi underscored diversifying sugarcane cultivation beyond sugar and jaggery to create an energy belt nationwide. Ethanol from sugarcane will power cars, with initiatives already in progress. “Our focus remains on boosting farmers' profits. Through PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, Uttar Pradesh farmers received substantial financial aid. Additionally, we're providing urea to farmers at a fraction of the cost elsewhere, less than 300 rupees per bag,” he added.

Bringing attention to the PM Surya Ghar - Muft Bijli Yojana, the PM stressed the NDA government's commitment to save money, highlighting the success of providing energy-efficient LED bulbs, saving crores in electricity bills. The PM iterated, “He introduced PM Surya Ghar - Muft Bijli Yojana, offering free electricity up to 300 units and financial assistance of up to Rs 75,000 for rooftop solar plants. Over a crore people have already enrolled in this scheme, initiated a few weeks ago, with plans to accelerate its implementation in the third term.”

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi urged everyone to vote on April 19th and April 26th, emphasizing its importance for a developed India and the nation's welfare. PM Modi's resounding call echoes, “For a developed India... 400 Paar! For women's empowerment... 400 Paar! For the prosperity of farmers... 400 Paar! For sending corrupt individuals to jail... 400 Paar!”

The World This Week On India
February 18, 2025

This week, India reinforced its position as a formidable force on the world stage, making headway in artificial intelligence, energy security, space exploration, and defence. From shaping global AI ethics to securing strategic partnerships, every move reflects India's growing influence in global affairs.

And when it comes to diplomacy and negotiation, even world leaders acknowledge India's strength. Former U.S. President Donald Trump, known for his tough negotiating style, put it simply:

“[Narendra Modi] is a much tougher negotiator than me, and he is a much better negotiator than me. There’s not even a contest.”

With India actively shaping global conversations, let’s take a look at some of the biggest developments this week.

|

AI for All: India and France Lead a Global Movement

The future of AI isn’t just about technology—it’s about ethics and inclusivity. India and France co-hosted the Summit for Action on AI in Paris, where 60 countries backed a declaration calling for AI that is "open," "inclusive," and "ethical." As artificial intelligence becomes a geopolitical battleground, India is endorsing a balanced approach—one that ensures technological progress without compromising human values.

A Nuclear Future: India and France Strengthen Energy Security

In a world increasingly focused on clean energy, India is stepping up its nuclear power game. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron affirmed their commitment to developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs), a paradigm shift in the transition to a low-carbon economy. With energy security at the heart of India’s strategy, this collaboration is a step toward long-term sustainability.

Gaganyaan: India’s Space Dream Inches Closer

India’s ambitions to send astronauts into space took a major leap forward as the budget for the Gaganyaan mission was raised to $2.32 billion. This is more than just a scientific milestone—it’s about proving that India is ready to stand alongside the world’s leading space powers. A successful human spaceflight will set the stage for future interplanetary missions, pushing India's space program to new frontiers.

India’s Semiconductor Push: Lam Research Bets Big

The semiconductor industry is the backbone of modern technology, and India wants a bigger share of the pie. US chip toolmaker Lam Research announced a $1 billion investment in India, signalling confidence in the country’s potential to become a global chip manufacturing hub. As major companies seek alternatives to traditional semiconductor strongholds like Taiwan, India is positioning itself as a serious contender in the global supply chain.

Defence Partnerships: A New Era in US-India Military Ties

The US and India are expanding their defence cooperation, with discussions of a future F-35 fighter jet deal on the horizon. The latest agreements also include increased US military sales to India, strengthening the strategic partnership between the two nations. Meanwhile, India is also deepening its energy cooperation with the US, securing new oil and gas import agreements that reinforce economic and security ties.

Energy Security: India Locks in LNG Supply from the UAE

With global energy markets facing volatility, India is taking steps to secure long-term energy stability. New multi-billion-dollar LNG agreements with ADNOC will provide India with a steady and reliable supply of natural gas, reducing its exposure to price fluctuations. As India moves toward a cleaner energy future, such partnerships are critical to maintaining energy security while keeping costs in check.

UAE Visa Waiver: A Boon for Indian Travelers

For Indians residing in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, visiting the UAE just became a lot simpler. A new visa waiver, effective February 13, will save Dh750 per person and eliminate lengthy approval processes. This move makes travel to the UAE more accessible and strengthens business and cultural ties between the two countries.

A Gift of Friendship: Trump’s Gesture to Modi

During his visit to India, Donald Trump presented Prime Minister Modi with a personalized book chronicling their long-standing friendship. Beyond the usual diplomatic formalities, this exchange reflects the personal bonds that sometimes shape international relations as much as policies do.

Memory League Champion: India’s New Star of Mental Speed

India is making its mark in unexpected ways, too. Vishvaa Rajakumar, a 20-year-old Indian college student, stunned the world by memorizing 80 random numbers in just 13.5 seconds, winning the Memory League World Championship. His incredible feat underscores India’s growing reputation for mental agility and cognitive excellence on the global stage.

India isn’t just participating in global affairs—it’s shaping them. Whether it’s setting ethical AI standards, securing energy independence, leading in space exploration, or expanding defence partnerships, the country is making bold, strategic moves that solidify its role as a global leader.

As the world takes note of India’s rise, one thing is clear: this journey is just getting started.
