PM Modi addresses Party Karyakartas during ‘Mera Booth Sabse Majboot’ in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh

The priority of the BJP is the country before the party – dal se pehle desh: PM Modi
Whoever is in favour of triple talaq is doing biggest injustice to Muslim women: PM Modi
Other parties want their sons and daughters to flourish, BJP wants your sons and daughters to flourish: PM Modi
Whoever is in favour of triple talaq is doing biggest injustice to Muslim women: PM Modi
The opposition parties are a guarantee of scams. Let me also give a guarantee that action against every person who has looted the poor and the country will be taken: PM Modi

PM Modi flagged off five Vande Bharat Trains that will connect the six states of India including Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Bihar. After this, he addressed a public meeting on ‘Mera Booth Sabse Majboot’ in Bhopal. PM Modi acknowledged the role of the state of Madhya Pradesh in making the BJP the biggest political party in the world.


PM Modi also acknowledged the efforts of the Booth Karyakartas in bolstering the party over the past nine years. He said that it was the unflinching dedication of the Party Karyakartas and their dedication toward ‘Mother India’ that prompted him to meet them as soon as he arrived from his state visit to the US and Egypt.


Responding to the question on the reconciliation of the booth with the larger scheme of things, PM Modi said that the booth itself serves as a major center to identify the various persistent issues. These booths serve as a mechanism for feedback at the grassroots level. It is the importance of these booths that the Ujjwala Yojana could be implemented at such a large scale that has enabled the provision of clean cooking fuel to all.


The booths can serve as the catalyst for change and the Booth Karyakartas must take the initiative to be the pioneers of change. The booths can serve as nerve centers of education and information, where newspaper reading can be promoted collectively. Vehicle pooling to enable efficient transport of urea to villages is also something that can be facilitated at the Booth level, which can promote the resolution of various issues concerning agriculture.


Replying to the question on how Party Karyakartas can enable the development of villages, PM Modi said that for India to be a developed nation by 2047, its villages have to develop first. He said that the concerted efforts by Booth Karyakartas across the villages in India to enable cleanliness, nutritional security, harnessing solar energy, and dairy development of the villages by promoting essential values of village empowerment can lead to the development of villages, which in turn will lead to a developed India.


Speaking on the question posed on the wider dissemination of Government schemes and development works carried out by the Government, PM Modi acknowledged that information dissemination has been taking place at a good pace but it is important to keep focusing on further improvements in the dissemination of information as the aim is 100% coverage of all schemes for all people. For example, if an individual has received housing facilities under PM Awas Yojana, then our Booth Karyakartas have to ensure that they receive the benefits of the Mudra Yojana so that there is an attainment of universal coverage of all schemes.


On the issue of appeasement being the norm for social justice to transform people’s lives in the truest sense, PM Modi said that there are political forces that only survive on appeasement politics, but the BJP Government has always prioritized the empowerment of all. He said the politics of appeasement is also linked closely to corruption and there are political parties that thrive on this culture. The previous Governments had not prioritized the development of India, but the BJP has always kept the ‘Nation First.’


Over the nine years the BJP has only sought to provide developmental benefits to all, irrespective of their caste, creed, and religion among other distinctions. PM Modi highlighted how the BJP Government has uplifted the various downtrodden sections not only domestically but internationally, which showcases how the Government has always worked on furthering saturation and complete coverage and true social justice.
Addressing the question of ‘Vote-Bank Politics’, PM Modi stated that the social, economic and political mainstreaming of the Muslim community will only lead to their true development in this country.


Issues like Triple Talaq have only worked toward manifesting the exploitation of Muslim women, creating large scale social ramifications and disempowering them. It is this Government that has worked toward improving these concerns by banning ‘instant Triple Talaq.’ Various political forces who speak about empowering Muslims have supported Triple Talaq, when countries like Egypt, Bangladesh, and Qatar have banned it.
Various political parties benefit by isolating minorities from the fruits of development and use issues like the Uniform Civil Code issue to further enrage them. Hence, our Booth Karyakartas have a special role in communicating the intent of the Government to the people of the Muslim community, making them aware of their rights in the truest sense.


Answering the question on the opposition parties of conflicting ideologies forming an alliance, PM Modi stated there is a sense of unease among the various political parties, who earlier staunchly opposed each other and are now uniting. This sense of fear by the opposing alliance generates confidence in the fact that the BJP will again emerge victorious in 2024. For the same reason, it is important that the Booth Karyakartas ensure that they ask the people to vote for the BJP if they wish to see the continued development of their region and this country. It is important to convey to the people that voting for the opposing alliance is voting for corruption and scandals.


PM Modi said that if people wish to promote the betterment of dynasts, then they may vote for those political parties in the various states of India. He further added, “If you wish to support the flourishing of the sons and daughters of the various political parties, vote for them but if you wish to see the flourishing and development of your sons and daughters then vote for the BJP. It is the BJP that is the only party that is enabling the development of the masses creating opportunities and avenues for their future.”


Placing emphasis on how the various initiatives of the Government have enabled savings and reduction of costs for the common man in India, PM Modi said that it is important that Booth Karyakartas disseminate the various initiatives undertaken by the Government and to communicate the same effectively. PM Modi said that when the rates of inflation are extremely high in our neighboring countries, especially owing to the COVID Pandemic in India, it is significantly low. When Jan Aushadhi Kendras facilitates the availability of quality medicines at affordable prices, it is enabling saving and cost reduction for the people of India.


Similarly, when LED Bulbs are available at reduced prices compared to the previous governments, it showcases the intent of the Government to ease the living of the people in India. These are some of the instances that also with others have to be communicated effectively by the Booth Karyakartas with the people of India.


PM Modi while responding to the question posed with respect to the farmers of India said how the farmers were exploited under the previous regime. The Congress Party waived off farm loans worth but the benefit of those never reached the farmers who were in a dire need of it. Various farmers were deprived of formal sources of credit, and to make matters worse, many of them were forced to buy all agricultural inputs at an exorbitant price.


PM Modi said, “It is the BJP Government that has enabled the development of our farmers.” Further, he said, “Keeping in mind the adverse effects of climate change, it is the BJP Government that envisaged the promotion of ‘Shree Anna’ that has enabled sustainable agricultural practices in India benefitting all the farmers in the country also keeping in mind India’s nutritional imperative.”


In conclusion, PM Modi highlighted how India has transformed across sectors in the past nine years. He said that India is taking rapid strides in this Amritkaal, while also fulfilling the dreams of eminent personalities such as BR Ambedkar, RM Lohia of a modern and inclusive India. He also conveyed to the Karyakartas that to enable the BJP to win the 2024 elections, it is important that all unite and concentrate their efforts to ensure victory.

Prime Minister's address to the Indian Community in Guyana
Prime Minister's address to the Indian Community in Guyana
November 22, 2024

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.
