A rundown of the Nation’s worst crisis, primarily witnessed in the past decade under the Congress rule, was Shri Narendra Modi’s focus in his address to supporters at Bijnor and Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, on the afternoon of 6th April. Appealing the people to vote for the BJP, Shri Modi affirmed them of the party’s focus on bringing in the change that the Nation deserves and ensuring a life of dignity for its people.

Shri Modi affirmed of the UPA’s wipe out in the 2014 Elections and said that the time had come to form a strong and stable government in Delhi. He appealed to the people to vote for BJP whose only focus was the Nation and its people’s development. “Our heads are not born to wear crowns. We are here to serve the people day and night. Such is a government we want,” stated Shri Modi. He recalled his childhood days when he had to sell tea to earn a living, and spoke of how the insult borne then had reinforced his determination to work towards serving the poor. “We want to bring a change in your lives. The poor must have a life with dignity and we are devoted to this cause,” affirmed Shri Modi.

Attacking the Congress’ sky-high arrogance and its devastating impact on the Nation’s economy and its people, Shri Modi said that their pride was so much that despite being in power for the last decade, they were reluctant to consider the Prime Minister as their leader. Ask Congressmen who their leader is. They won't say it is Dr. Manmohan Singh,” said Shri Modi, as he spoke of how the Congress party had forgotten patriotism and had instead become patriots of one family. He further exposed the Congress’ blatant lies and divisive strategies, and spoke of how their imperfect policies for farmers, women empowerment and the common man, had left every segment of the society longing for a change in the government.

Shri Modi highlighted how ‘favoritism’ was the Samajwadi Party’s forte by citing the fact that while majority of the UP’s population had to face the brunt of severe power crisis, there were some ‘special people’ who enjoyed a life of luxury with uninterrupted power supply. “The issue is beyond money. The lives and dreams of farmers are suffering. Their future generations suffer: We can also generate tremendous buzz around the world for our handicrafts but these people lack the will,” said Shri Modi, referring to the lack of vision of the Centre and UP government.

Attacking the Congress’ propaganda of being secular and the Congress President’s claims of having framed the 15 point programme for the welfare of minorities, Shri Modi stated how, on being questioned by an MP from Uttar Pradesh about the programme’s impact on Muslims in the state, the Congress had shamelessly declared that not a single rupee had been spent in Uttar Pradesh towards this in the past year. Shri Modi also quoted figures of the rampant riots that have occurred in the past one year, under the Congress’ governance, and especially in the state of UP, under the SP government.

Stating how Gujarat had ensured empowerment to all sections of the society, Shri Modi cited researched figures which affirmed that the Muslims in the State were well-off when compared to their counterparts in many other states. “Those who practice votebank politics find it correct to keep the society poor. Neither can they do development nor are they able to serve the society. Such Governments should be uprooted,” said Shri Modi.

Exposing the deceptiveness of the SABKA – SP, BSP and Congress – whereby they acted as enemies in UP but were strong friends in Delhi, Shri Modi urged the people to make India free from the Congress and its allies. He called for the need to understand and unmask the games played by the SABKA, and said, “Congress, SP and BSP, they are not 3 but they are 1. These parties want a weak government, but now we cannot have this continuing any longer. Such games must stop.”

QuotePM reviews the recently concluded 100-Day TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan and says that it can be accelerated and scaled across the country

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired a high-level review meeting on the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) at his residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi earlier today.

Lauding the significant progress made in early detection and treatment of TB patients in 2024, Prime Minister called for scaling up successful strategies nationwide, reaffirming India’s commitment to eliminate TB from India.

Prime Minister reviewed the recently concluded 100-Day TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan covering high-focus districts wherein 12.97 crore vulnerable individuals were screened; 7.19 lakh TB cases detected, including 2.85 lakh asymptomatic TB cases. Over 1 lakh new Ni-kshay Mitras joined the effort during the campaign, which has been a model for Jan Bhagidari that can be accelerated and scaled across the country to drive a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach.

Prime Minister stressed the need to analyse the trends of TB patients based on urban or rural areas and also based on their occupations. This will help identify groups that need early testing and treatment, especially workers in construction, mining, textile mills, and similar fields. As technology in healthcare improves, Nikshay Mitras (supporters of TB patients) should be encouraged to use technology to connect with TB patients. They can help patients understand the disease and its treatment using interactive and easy-to-use technology.

Prime Minister said that since TB is now curable with regular treatment, there should be less fear and more awareness among the public.

Prime Minister highlighted the importance of cleanliness through Jan Bhagidari as a key step in eliminating TB. He urged efforts to personally reach out to each patient to ensure they get proper treatment.

During the meeting, Prime Minister noted the encouraging findings of the WHO Global TB Report 2024, which affirmed an 18% reduction in TB incidence (from 237 to 195 per lakh population between 2015 and 2023), which is double the global pace; 21% decline in TB mortality (from 28 to 22 per lakh population) and 85% treatment coverage, reflecting the programme’s growing reach and effectiveness.

Prime Minister reviewed key infrastructure enhancements, including expansion of the TB diagnostic network to 8,540 NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing) labs and 87 culture & drug susceptibility labs; over 26,700 X-ray units, including 500 AI-enabled handheld X-ray devices, with another 1,000 in the pipeline. The decentralization of all TB services including free screening, diagnosis, treatment and nutrition support at Ayushman Arogya Mandirs was also highlighted.

Prime Minister was apprised of introduction of several new initiatives such as AI driven hand-held X-rays for screening, shorter treatment regimen for drug resistant TB, newer indigenous molecular diagnostics, nutrition interventions and screening & early detection in congregate settings like mines, tea garden, construction sites, urban slums, etc. including nutrition initiatives; Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana DBT payments to 1.28 crore TB patients since 2018 and enhancement of the incentive to ₹1,000 in 2024. Under Ni-kshay Mitra Initiative, 29.4 lakh food baskets have been distributed by 2.55 lakh Ni-kshay Mitras.

The meeting was attended by Union Health Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, Principal Secretary to PM Dr. P. K. Mishra, Principal Secretary-2 to PM Shri Shaktikanta Das, Adviser to PM Shri Amit Khare, Health Secretary and other senior officials.
