Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed two mega public meetings in Odisha’s Berhampur and Nabarangpur. Addressing a huge gathering, the PM said, “Today, our Ram Lalla is enshrined in the magnificent Ram Temple. This is the wonder of your one vote... which has ended a 500-year wait. I congratulate all the people of Odisha."

"This time in Odisha, two ceremonies are taking place simultaneously. One ceremony is to form a strong government in the country and the other ceremony is to form a state government led by the BJP in Odisha. And I see the same emotion, the same enthusiasm in your spirit for the first time in Odisha, a double-engine government,” said the PM.

In a blistering attack directed at the Congress and BJD, PM Modi said, “In Odisha, the Congress party ruled for nearly 50 years, followed by 25 years of BJD government. But what happened? Odisha has water, fertile land, a treasure trove of minerals beneath the ground... such a long coastline... trade centers like Berhampur... it's a Silk City and the food capital too. Here, there is history, heritage of culture as well. Every time I say... what happened that despite such richness, the people of Odisha remained poor. The answer to this is... the plunder by leaders of both Congress and then BJD.”

PM Modi said that Odisha BJP has catered to the aspirations and wishes of all in 'Sankalp Patra'. He added that the Sankalp Patra is in keeping with Odisha's Sanskriti, tourism, and overall development. He said, “With BJD losing its sheen and Congress at a historic low, BJP is the only hope for the development of Odisha and India. Despite BJD-Congress ruling Odisha for 75 years it's health and educational infra along with its culture and traditions is at a historic low.”

Slamming the BJD government for not implementing the Centre's schemes, PM Modi remarked that while the Ayushman Bharat scheme has benefited over 6 crore people nationwide, the people of Odisha missed out due to the BJD's negligence. He assured free treatment worth 5 lakh rupees for elderly people above 70 years in Odisha, emphasizing the need for a BJP government in the state to ensure such benefits reach the people.

Furthermore, he added, “Today, the government in Odisha shows no concern for the welfare of women. The central government provides financial aid of 6,000 rupees to every pregnant woman, aiming to ensure essential nutrition for both the mother and child. It's surprising to know that the Odisha government has not implemented this scheme here. Meanwhile, the BJP government is committed to women's empowerment. The BJP's 'Subhadra Scheme' in Odisha will financially empower women.”

 PM Modi expressed confidence in Odisha's development under a BJP government, stating, "The BJP proudly appointed a daughter born in Odisha to the highest position in the country. President Droupadi Murmu continues to guide Odisha's development. Moreover, your representative is also in Delhi. When a BJP Chief Minister, rooted in Odia culture, leads Odisha, your issues will be promptly addressed. I have seen how the people of Odisha have transformed Surat. Therefore, I believe that the development of Odisha will continue.”

|

With confidence in Modi's guarantee, PM Modi highlighted the BJP's focus on good governance. He cited examples like Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Chhattisgarh, where BJP governments have accelerated development after its return to power. He said that Modi's guarantee underscored the party's commitment to good governance.

Addressing a rally in Berhampur, PM Modi said that Modi is working towards further harnessing the oceanic potential of Odisha. He added that we have provided subsidy for modernization of boats and have also enabled new production and processing facilities for fishermen. He said, “Odisha has also been a large beneficiary for the 'Sagarmala Yojana'. Now, the Odisha BJP has also resolved to bring Odisha among the top three tourism states in the country. This will provide new employment opportunities for the youth here.”

|

In his second rally of the day, Prime Minister Modi declared, “4th June is the expiry date of BJD government. I have come here to invite you to attend the swearing-in ceremony of a new BJP Chief Minister on 10th June in Bhubaneswar. I am sure that some people declined the invitation to attend the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, but you all will not decline my invitation..."

He said, “Chhattisgarh is in your neighbourhood, there was a BJP government for 15 years, and recently the people of the state again elected the BJP with a huge majority. Today, a tribal son is running the Chhattisgarh government. BJP is improving Chhattisgarh."

|

Taking a dig at Congress party in Nabarangpur, PM Modi said, "Four decades ago, a Prime Minister came to Odisha. He said, ‘I send 1 rupee from Delhi...’ Only 15 paise reached the poor. That means, out of 100, 85 paise were looted by the Congress.”

Also, PM Modi highlighted the direct transfers of benefits like housing funds, gas subsidies, MNREGA wages, and PM-KISAN scheme payments, ensuring fair distribution without discrimination.

|

Towards the conclusion, PM Modi emphasized, "Today, I am committed to the vision of 'Developed Odisha - Developed India'." He stressed the importance of ensuring BJP's victory to accelerate Odisha's development. "You must strive for success at every polling booth," he added. Also, he assigned another task, urging supporters to visit every household, respectfully conveying Modi ji's greetings with 'Jai Jagannath'.

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.
