Congress exists only for welfare of their own families: PM Modi
Hard work & diligence of both old & new generation of Haryana Karyakartas’ always inspired me: PM
Congress is getting weaker every day: PM Modi
In the last 10 years Congress has failed even as opposition: PM Modi
People of Haryana have decided to give BJP a chance to serve once again: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with BJP Karyakartas from Haryana through the NaMo App as part of the ongoing ‘Mera Booth, Sabse Majboot’ program. PM Modi began the interaction by expressing his gratitude and special connection with the people of Haryana. He said, “It is very encouraging to see BJP Karyakartas in Haryana spreading the message of good governance to the people.”

PM Modi highlighted the importance of the ‘Mera Booth, Sabse Majboot’ program, underlining its role in strengthening the party’s booth-level presence across Haryana. He emphasized the need for every Karyakarta to connect with voters at the grassroots level and ensure the party's message reaches every corner of the state.

“I shall not let the BJP’s flag go down, I will work hard, I will motivate voters to vote, I will build a strong voters’ base from my booth,” said PM Modi highlighting what a Karyakarta’s attitude should be while working on the ground. National interest is paramount for every BJP karyakartas, he added.

The Prime Minister appreciated the dedication and hard work of the Karyakartas in Haryana and acknowledged their pivotal role in ensuring the party’s success at the booth level. He shared insights on the significance of unity and collective action in upcoming electoral challenges.

“Be it the old generation of Karyakartas of Haryana or the new generation, their hard work and diligence have always inspired me. Also, their cheerful nature, the ability to make even the most serious matter light-hearted very intelligently, with logic and a humorous tone, this can only be learned from Haryana,” said PM Modi.

Also, PM Modi took a jibe at Congress and said, “The entire basis of those who are contesting against us is based on lies. These days the loudspeakers of Congress which were making big claims have also weakened. Some are saying that Congress is getting weaker every day and in the last 10 years Congress has failed even as opposition.”

During the interaction, several Karyakartas shared their on-ground experiences and challenges in engaging with the voters at the booth level. Many expressed their commitment to the party's vision and the progress made under PM Modi's leadership.

Interacting with the Prime Minister, one of the Karyakartas said, “We establish a heart-to-heart connection with people and they automatically join us in our mission. Also, we share about schemes like Lakhpati Didi Yojana, Kisan Samman Yojana, and others, with our respective voters while visiting their houses during the campaign.”

A Mahila Karyakarta Kamlesh Sheoran from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh, said, “The women power in Haryana is very happy with BJP’s work and they keep blessing you.” Another Karyakarta from Sonipat, Mukesh Saini said, “The Congress always stopped the college students from getting educated, looted them, and has made no development in the region. No cheating would be tolerated in the future and hence, the people of Haryana have rejected Congress and accepted BJP in the state.”

Highlighting Congress’ misgovernance, PM Modi said, “Congress exists only for welfare of their own families. Congress is not concerned about anyone else's children. To get votes, the Congress in Himachal Pradesh made promises that they would make golden roofs for every house and then after forming the government, they gave up. Today the Congress government in Himachal is unable to pay the government employees, is unable to do any development work, is unable to make government recruitments. Schools, roads, electricity, water, hospitals, everything is at a standstill.”

“Under your guidance, the governance and security in Haryana has improved which was not there under the Congress regime. Also, our entire team is actively making people aware about MSP and Kisan Samman Nidhi being provided by the government,” said Ajay Khundia from Rohtak district. The people of Haryana discarded, every single lie and campaign on the Constitution being run by Congress, he added.

PM Modi outlined key strategies to ensure success in upcoming elections, focusing on voter outreach, digital engagement, and community-driven initiatives. He emphasized the need to uphold the principles of development, good governance, and welfare programs initiated by the government. PM Modi particularly addressed the importance of engaging with youth and first-time voters. He encouraged Karyakartas to tap into their enthusiasm and energy, making them a central part of the election program.

“The people of Haryana have decided to give BJP a chance to serve once again. They are happy that running a government without corruption in 10 years has happened for the first time in Haryana. The youth of the state are getting employment without ‘Kharchi’ or ‘Parchi’, this has happened for the first time in Haryana. Therefore, the people of Haryana are with us, their blessings are with us, and victory is certain,” said PM Modi.

The interaction saw enthusiastic participation from Karyakartas across the state, reinforcing the grassroots strength of the BJP. PM Modi concluded the session by urging the Karyakartas to remain dedicated and work tirelessly for the success of the party. He reminded them that their hard work at the booth level is critical to ensuring a victorious outcome.

Your Excellency President Irfan Ali,
Prime Minister Mark Philips,
Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo,
Former President Donald Ramotar,
Members of the Guyanese Cabinet,
Members of the Indo-Guyanese Community,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Namaskar!

Seetaram !

I am delighted to be with all of you today.First of all, I want to thank President Irfan Ali for joining us.I am deeply touched by the love and affection given to me since my arrival.I thank President Ali for opening the doors of his home to me.

I thank his family for their warmth and kindness. The spirit of hospitality is at the heart of our culture. I could feel that, over the last two days. With President Ali and his grandmother, we also planted a tree. It is part of our initiative, "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam", that is, "a tree for mother”. It was an emotional moment that I will always remember.

Friends,

I was deeply honoured to receive the ‘Order of Excellence’, the highest national award of Guyana. I thank the people of Guyana for this gesture. This is an honour of 1.4 billion Indians. It is the recognition of the 3 lakh strong Indo-Guyanese community and their contributions to the development of Guyana.

Friends,

I have great memories of visiting your wonderful country over two decades ago. At that time, I held no official position. I came to Guyana as a traveller, full of curiosity. Now, I have returned to this land of many rivers as the Prime Minister of India. A lot of things have changed between then and now. But the love and affection of my Guyanese brothers and sisters remains the same! My experience has reaffirmed - you can take an Indian out of India, but you cannot take India out of an Indian.

Friends,

Today, I visited the India Arrival Monument. It brings to life, the long and difficult journey of your ancestors nearly two centuries ago. They came from different parts of India. They brought with them different cultures, languages and traditions. Over time, they made this new land their home. Today, these languages, stories and traditions are part of the rich culture of Guyana.

I salute the spirit of the Indo-Guyanese community. You fought for freedom and democracy. You have worked to make Guyana one of the fastest growing economies. From humble beginnings you have risen to the top. Shri Cheddi Jagan used to say: "It matters not what a person is born, but who they choose to be.”He also lived these words. The son of a family of labourers, he went on to become a leader of global stature.

President Irfan Ali, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, former President Donald Ramotar, they are all Ambassadors of the Indo Guyanese community. Joseph Ruhomon, one of the earliest Indo-Guyanese intellectuals, Ramcharitar Lalla, one of the first Indo-Guyanese poets, Shana Yardan, the renowned woman poet, Many such Indo-Guyanese made an impact on academics and arts, music and medicine.

Friends,

Our commonalities provide a strong foundation to our friendship. Three things, in particular, connect India and Guyana deeply. Culture, cuisine and cricket! Just a couple of weeks ago, I am sure you all celebrated Diwali. And in a few months, when India celebrates Holi, Guyana will celebrate Phagwa.

This year, the Diwali was special as Ram Lalla returned to Ayodhya after 500 years. People in India remember that the holy water and shilas from Guyana were also sent to build the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Despite being oceans apart, your cultural connection with Mother India is strong.

I could feel this when I visited the Arya Samaj Monument and Saraswati Vidya Niketan School earlier today. Both India and Guyana are proud of our rich and diverse culture. We see diversity as something to be celebrated, not just accommodated. Our countries are showing how cultural diversity is our strength.

Friends,

Wherever people of India go, they take one important thing along with them. The food! The Indo-Guyanese community also has a unique food tradition which has both Indian and Guyanese elements. I am aware that Dhal Puri is popular here! The seven-curry meal that I had at President Ali’s home was delicious. It will remain a fond memory for me.

Friends,

The love for cricket also binds our nations strongly. It is not just a sport. It is a way of life, deeply embedded in our national identity. The Providence National Cricket Stadium in Guyana stands as a symbol of our friendship.

Kanhai, Kalicharan, Chanderpaul are all well-known names in India. Clive Lloyd and his team have been a favourite of many generations. Young players from this region also have a huge fan base in India. Some of these great cricketers are here with us today. Many of our cricket fans enjoyed the T-20 World Cup that you hosted this year.

Your cheers for the ‘Team in Blue’ at their match in Guyana could be heard even back home in India!

Friends,

This morning, I had the honour of addressing the Guyanese Parliament. Coming from the Mother of Democracy, I felt the spiritual connect with one of the most vibrant democracies in the Caribbean region. We have a shared history that binds us together. Common struggle against colonial rule, love for democratic values, And, respect for diversity.

We have a shared future that we want to create. Aspirations for growth and development, Commitment towards economy and ecology, And, belief in a just and inclusive world order.

Friends,

I know the people of Guyana are well-wishers of India. You would be closely watching the progress being made in India. India’s journey over the past decade has been one of scale, speed and sustainability.

In just 10 years, India has grown from the tenth largest economy to the fifth largest. And, soon, we will become the third-largest. Our youth have made us the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world. India is a global hub for e-commerce, AI, fintech, agriculture, technology and more.

We have reached Mars and the Moon. From highways to i-ways, airways to railways, we are building state of art infrastructure. We have a strong service sector. Now, we are also becoming stronger in manufacturing. India has become the second largest mobile manufacturer in the world.

Friends,

India’s growth has not only been inspirational but also inclusive. Our digital public infrastructure is empowering the poor. We opened over 500 million bank accounts for the people. We connected these bank accounts with digital identity and mobiles. Due to this, people receive assistance directly in their bank accounts. Ayushman Bharat is the world’s largest free health insurance scheme. It is benefiting over 500 million people.

We have built over 30 million homes for those in need. In just one decade, we have lifted 250 million people out of poverty. Even among the poor, our initiatives have benefited women the most. Millions of women are becoming grassroots entrepreneurs, generating jobs and opportunities.

Friends,

While all this massive growth was happening, we also focused on sustainability. In just a decade, our solar energy capacity grew 30-fold ! Can you imagine ?We have moved towards green mobility, with 20 percent ethanol blending in petrol.

At the international level too, we have played a central role in many initiatives to combat climate change. The International Solar Alliance, The Global Biofuels Alliance, The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Many of these initiatives have a special focus on empowering the Global South.

We have also championed the International Big Cat Alliance. Guyana, with its majestic Jaguars, also stands to benefit from this.

Friends,

Last year, we had hosted President Irfaan Ali as the Chief Guest of the Pravasi Bhartiya Divas. We also received Prime Minister Mark Phillips and Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo in India. Together, we have worked to strengthen bilateral cooperation in many areas.

Today, we have agreed to widen the scope of our collaboration -from energy to enterprise,Ayurveda to agriculture, infrastructure to innovation, healthcare to human resources, anddata to development. Our partnership also holds significant value for the wider region. The second India-CARICOM summit held yesterday is testament to the same.

As members of the United Nations, we both believe in reformed multilateralism. As developing countries, we understand the power of the Global South. We seek strategic autonomy and support inclusive development. We prioritize sustainable development and climate justice. And, we continue to call for dialogue and diplomacy to address global crises.

Friends,

I always call our diaspora the Rashtradoots. An Ambassador is a Rajdoot, but for me you are all Rashtradoots. They are Ambassadors of Indian culture and values. It is said that no worldly pleasure can compare to the comfort of a mother’s lap.

You, the Indo-Guyanese community, are doubly blessed. You have Guyana as your motherland and Bharat Mata as your ancestral land. Today, when India is a land of opportunities, each one of you can play a bigger role in connecting our two countries.

Friends,

Bharat Ko Janiye Quiz has been launched. I call upon you to participate. Also encourage your friends from Guyana. It will be a good opportunity to understand India, its values, culture and diversity.

Friends,

Next year, from 13 January to 26 February, Maha Kumbh will be held at Prayagraj. I invite you to attend this gathering with families and friends. You can travel to Basti or Gonda, from where many of you came. You can also visit the Ram Temple at Ayodhya. There is another invite.

It is for the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas that will be held in Bhubaneshwar in January. If you come, you can also take the blessings of Mahaprabhu Jagannath in Puri. Now with so many events and invitations, I hope to see many of you in India soon. Once again, thank you all for the love and affection you have shown me.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

And special thanks to my friend Ali. Thanks a lot.
