At a public meeting in Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “This year Tamil Nadu will elect a new Government. The Assembly elections are happening at a critical moment of Indian history. In the last few years, people of India have given a strong message. The people of India have spoken that they want development-oriented governance.”

Talking about the cooperative federalism, PM Modi said, “The way the NDA Government at the Centre and the Tamil Nadu Government have worked is a classic example of cooperative federalism. We have worked together for the benefit of the people of Tamil Nadu.”

PM Modi highlighted several development projects brought in by the Centre, he asserted that the Government of India had taken many measures to help MSMEs. One example was Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme. We were equally focussed on building a vibrant textiles sector. In the last seven years, the Government of India had modernised the textile infrastructure.

“In the past 7 years, our efforts for the small farmers are aimed at giving them a life of prosperity and dignity. From Kisan Credit Cards to Soil Health Cards, From e-Nam to an effective crop insurance scheme, We want to bring a paradigm shift in the agriculture sector,” said PM Modi.

He added, “The PM-KISAN scheme completed two years yesterday. 11 crore farmers have gained from this scheme. For many years, the farmers of India demanded MSP rise. It was our government that had the opportunity to bring a holistic MSP rise.”

In a sharp attack on opposition, PM Modi remarked, “The Opposition’s style of politics is based on bullying and harassing. Whenever DMK comes to power they promote a ‘strongman culture.’ In every district they have anti-social elements who trouble innocent citizens. Today, the nation is seeing two distinct styles of politics. The Opposition’s mis-governance with corruption. And, NDA’s governance with compassion.”

Alerting the citizens of Tamil Nadu, PM Modi stated that DMK and Congress meetings were like corruption hackathons. Their leaders sit and brainstorm how to loot. Both parties had tried to launch and re-launch their respective First Families but they have not got success. There was a continuous family drama there.

Addressing the rally, Prime Minister Modi remarked, “DMK ruled Tamil Nadu for many years. Congress was in Centre for many years. Yet, these parties were not bothered about the demands of the Devendra Kulla Vellalar community. It was the AIADMK Government in Tamil Nadu and the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre that accepted their long-standing demand to be known as Devendrakula Velalar.”

PM Modi addresses a public rally virtually in Nadia, West Bengal
December 20, 2025
Bengal and the Bengali language have made invaluable contributions to India’s history and culture, with Vande Mataram being one of the nation’s most powerful gifts: PM Modi
West Bengal needs a BJP government that works at double speed to restore the state’s pride: PM in Nadia
Whenever BJP raises concerns over infiltration, TMC leaders respond with abuse, which also explains their opposition to SIR in West Bengal: PM Modi
West Bengal must now free itself from what he described as Maha Jungle Raj: PM Modi’s call for “Bachte Chai, BJP Tai”

PM Modi addressed a public rally in Nadia, West Bengal through video conferencing after being unable to attend the programme physically due to adverse weather conditions. He sought forgiveness from the people, stating that dense fog made it impossible for the helicopter to land safely. Earlier today, the PM also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated development works in Ranaghat, a major way forward towards West Bengal’s growth story.

The PM expressed deep grief over a mishap involving BJP karyakartas travelling to attend the rally. He conveyed heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.

PM Modi said that Nadia is the sacred land where Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the embodiment of love, compassion and devotion, manifested himself. He noted that the chants of Harinaam Sankirtan that once echoed across villages and along the banks of the Ganga were not merely expressions of devotion, but a powerful call for social unity.

He highlighted the immense contribution of the Matua community in strengthening social harmony, recalling the teachings of Shri Harichand Thakur, the social reform efforts of Shri Guruchand Thakur, and the motherly compassion of Boro Maa. He bowed to all these revered figures for their lasting impact on society.

The PM said that Bengal and the Bengali language have made invaluable contributions to India’s history and culture, with Vande Mataram being one of the nation’s most powerful gifts. He noted that the country is marking 150 years of Vande Mataram and that Parliament has recently paid tribute to this iconic song. He said West Bengal is the land of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, whose creation of Vande Mataram awakened national consciousness during the freedom struggle.

He stressed that Vande Mataram should inspire a Viksit Bharat and awaken the spirit of a Viksit West Bengal, adding that this sacred idea forms the BJP’s roadmap for the state.

PM Modi said BJP-led governments are focused on policies that enhance the strength and capabilities of every citizen. He cited the GST Savings Festival as an example, noting that essential goods were made affordable, enabling families in West Bengal to celebrate Durga Puja and other festivals with joy.

He also highlighted major investments in infrastructure, mentioning the approval of two important highway projects that will improve connectivity between Kolkata and Siliguri and strengthen regional development.

The PM said the nation wants fast-paced development and referred to Bihar’s recent strong mandate in favour of the BJP-NDA. He recalled stating that the Ganga flows from Bihar to Bengal and that Bihar has shown the path for BJP’s victory in West Bengal as well.

He said that while Bihar has decisively rejected jungle raj, West Bengal must now free itself from what he described as Maha Jungle Raj. Referring to the popular slogan, he said the state is calling out, “Bachte Chai, BJP Tai.”

The PM emphasised that there is no shortage of funds, intent or schemes for West Bengal’s development, but alleged that projects worth thousands of crores are stalled due to corruption and commissions. He appealed to the people to give BJP a chance and form a double-engine government to witness rapid development.

He cautioned people to remain alert against what he described as TMC’s conspiracies, alleging that the party is focused on protecting infiltrators. He said that whenever BJP raises concerns over infiltration, TMC leaders respond with abuse, which also explains their opposition to SIR in West Bengal.

Concluding his address, PM Modi said West Bengal needs a BJP government that works at double speed to restore the state’s pride. He assured that he would speak in greater detail about BJP’s vision when he visits the state in person.
