PM highlighted that the NDA Govt at the Centre was committed towards the development of eastern India. He said, “After coming to power in 2014, we came out with 'Act East Policy'. Until our eastern part prospers, the country would not develop.” He further added, “Unity of Manipur, welfare of its people and development of the state is our only goal.”

Shri Modi recalled the contribution of former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee towards developing the eastern states and said, “When Atal ji formed Government, and he made policies for overall development of Northeast. But Congress did not carry the good work forward.” 

PM attacked the Congress Party and said, “Congress, which is in power for the last 15 years in Manipur, have not done anything to develop the state.” Shri Modi alleged that the Congress party was not undertaking welfare measures for people of the state. He said, “Today, wherever Congress government is there, the state lacks progress. Every BJP governed state today is progressing at fast pace.”

PM Modi stressed that the fight against corruption and black money would continue and those who had looted the country would not go unpunished. “Rights of common citizens would be protected”, Shri Modi said.

PM Modi attacked the Congress government for its incapability to maintain law and order situation and peace in the state and said, “Those who cannot ensure peace in the state have no right to govern Manipur.” He further added, “Naga accord was signed one and half years ago. Was the Congress asleep that time? And, now they are spreading lies. The Naga accord does not compromise on the territorial integrity of Manipur. Congress government will have to answer for all the sufferings of the people of Manipur due to blockade.” 

Prime Minister Modi assured that BJP was committed to work for welfare of the people of Manipur. He said, “BJP would leave no stone unturned for welfare of people of Manipur. We will undertake every possible measure for development of Manipur.” 

Shri Modi reiterated his resolve for the development of eastern states and said, “We are giving impetus to infrastructure development in Manipur. We want the state to be directly connected with India's mainstream.”

The Prime Minister noted that the Centre had reduced stent prices which would bring down the cost of treatment drastically and benefit people. “We have reduced stent prices. We want the poor to have access to affordable healthcare and medication”, added the PM. 

Shri Modi further mentioned that the Centre had eliminated interviews for jobs for grade 3 and 4 to reduce corruption. “We eliminated interview processes for class 3 and 4 jobs. This reduced corruption. We asked Manipur govt to implement it, but they did not”, Shri Modi said. 

He urged people of the state to elect a BJP Government with full majority. “Manipur can contribute immensely to India's development. Tourism sector has a lot potential, youth here are talented, concluded the PM. 

Several party leaders and karyakartas were also present at the event.

QuoteOver the last 11 years, the NDA Government has redefined women-led development: PM
QuoteVarious initiatives, from ensuring dignity through Swachh Bharat to financial inclusion via Jan Dhan accounts, the focus has been on empowering our Nari Shakti: PM

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has highlighted the transformative role played by women in the journey towards a developed India, underlining the government’s focus on women-led development over the past 11 years.

The Prime Minister said that our mothers, sisters and daughters have seen times when they had to face difficulties at every step. But today they are not only participating actively in the resolution of a developed India, but are also setting examples in every field from education to business. Shri Modi further added that the successes of Nari Shakti in the last 11 years are a matter of pride for all citizens.

The Prime Minister noted that the NDA Government has redefined women-led development through a series of impactful initiatives. These include ensuring dignity through the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, financial inclusion via Jan Dhan accounts, and empowerment at the grassroots level.

He cited Ujjwala Yojana as a milestone that brought smoke-free kitchens to several homes. He also highlighted how MUDRA loans have enabled lakhs of women to become entrepreneurs and pursue their dreams independently. The provision of houses in women’s names under the PM Awas Yojana has also made a remarkable impact on their sense of security and empowerment.

The Prime Minister also recalled the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign, which he described as a national movement to protect the girl child.

Shri Modi affirmed that in all sectors- including science, education, sports, StartUps, and the armed forces-women are excelling and inspiring several people.

The Prime Minister shared these remarks through a series of posts on X;

"हमारी माताओं-बहनों और बेटियों ने वो दौर भी देखा है, जब उन्हें कदम-कदम पर मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ता था। लेकिन आज वे ना सिर्फ विकसित भारत के संकल्प में बढ़-चढ़कर भागीदारी निभा रही हैं, बल्कि शिक्षा और व्यवसाय से लेकर हर क्षेत्र में मिसाल कायम कर रही हैं। बीते 11 वर्षों में हमारी नारीशक्ति की सफलताएं देशवासियों को गौरवान्वित करने वाली हैं।
