AAP-da and Congress cannot tolerate Purvanchal’s progress, but the BJP will continue to support its people: PM in RK Puram rally

Prime Minister Modi addressed a massive and spirited rally in Delhi’s RK Puram, energizing the crowd with his vision for a Viksit Delhi and exposing the failures of the AAP-da government. He reaffirmed his commitment to fulfilling every promise and ensuring the city’s holistic development.

The PM pointed out how, ahead of the elections, the AAP-da government is crumbling as its own leaders are leaving, realizing the growing discontent among Delhiites. “For 10 years, they have sought votes on the same false promises. But now, Delhi will no longer tolerate these lies,” he declared.

PM Modi spoke about the recently presented Union Budget, calling it a people-centric budget that strengthens four key pillars – Garib, Kisan, Yuva, and Nari Shakti. He reiterated how Modi Ki Guarantee ensures free ration, healthcare, and pucca houses for the poor, “unlike past governments that squandered national resources in scams.” The budget also boosts the Make in India initiative, making essential goods like clothing, shoes, TVs, and mobile phones more affordable.

Recognizing the vital contribution of the middle class to India’s growth, PM Modi emphasized how the BJP respects honest taxpayers and rewards them. “For the first time in history, individuals earning up to ₹12 lakh will pay zero income tax, saving them thousands of rupees,” he announced.

PM Modi assured the crowd that the BJP stands with the urban poor, introducing new initiatives to uplift them. Under the PM SVANidhi Yojana, street vendors will now be provided with a special ₹30,000 credit card to expand their businesses.

Hitting out at the AAP-da leaders for spreading lies, PM Modi affirmed, “AAP-da government spreads rumours, but I assure you, not a single slum will be demolished in Delhi. The BJP will ensure that the schemes being run for public welfare will not be stopped.”

As an MP from a Purvanchal region, PM Modi expressed his gratitude to the people of Bihar and Eastern UP for their overwhelming support. He highlighted the establishment of a Makhana Board, which will boost employment and empower farmers in Bihar. “AAP-da and Congress cannot tolerate Purvanchal’s progress, but the BJP will continue to support its people,” he stated.

The PM underscored the crucial role of women in shaping the nation’s future and reiterated the BJP’s commitment to their empowerment. The budget introduces a new scheme to support women entrepreneurs with easy loans of up to ₹2 crore, along with training programmes. “Delhi BJP has also promised ₹2,500 per month for women. This is Modi Ki Guarantee,” he assured.

PM Modi sharply criticized the AAP-da government for its misgovernance and betrayal of Delhi’s citizens. He cited how their failures have resulted in rising pollution, deteriorating health conditions, and economic losses for shopkeepers due to traffic restrictions. “Every year, Delhiites lose crores of rupees because of AAP-da’s negligence,” he said, vowing that the BJP would transform Delhi into a world-class city.

PM Modi urged every Delhiite to come out and vote on February 5 to free the capital from AAP-da’s misrule. In conclusion, he reaffirmed, “With Modi Ki Guarantee, we will make Delhi a shining symbol of a Viksit Bharat,” as the crowd roared in support.
