Watch : Shri Narendra Modi addressing a massive rally in Srinagar, Uttarakhand

On the afternoon of 3rd May, Shri Narendra Modi addressed massive rallies at Srinagar, Almora, Rudrapur and Roorkee in Uttarakhand, and affirmed of the BJP’s focus on evolving a separate development strategy for the Himalayan states, which would embrace the strengths of the region and address its weaknesses. Shri Modi exposed the divisiveness of the Congress and urged the people to vote them out and enable the BJP to form a development-oriented government at the Centre.

Shri Modi spoke of how the Congress and its allies were only focused on stopping Modi, be it by ‘gathbandhan’ or ‘lathbandhan’. And this, he said, was because of their fear for their fate after the declaration of results on 16th May. He attacked the misgovernance of the Mother-Son led government in Delhi and the Husband-Wife led government (referring to CM Harish Rawat and his wife Renuka) in Uttarakhand, and said, Does Congress not have a single leader or Karyakarta or woman leader? Why is it that in Delhi there is Mother-Son & here Husband-Wife.” He further stated how Shri Rawat was also the incharge of Water Resources in his capacity as a Central government Minister earlier, but did little towards flood water management during the natural calamity that struck the State few months back.

Retaliating strongly to the Congress Vice President’s statement of Shri Modi practising the politics of anger, Shri Modi questioned if getting angry on those who looted the Nation was wrong. He further cited various instances of the Congress ill-treating people, including Shri Rajiv Gandhi insulting former Andhra CM Tanguturi Anjaiah, the ousting of Shri Sitaram Kesri from the Congress office by the guards of Smt. Sonia Gandhi, and the Congress’ refusal to honour its leader Shri Narasimha Rao after his death, and said, Rahul ji, we do not raise points on your family but you keep abusing me. People will give you the answer through the button,” said Shri Modi. Corruption by the Central government had wrecked the Nation’s progress, said Shri Modi, even as the affirmed of the BJP’s undivided focus to bring back the black money stashed in foreign banks by the Central government.

In Srinagar, Shri Modi also thanked the women for attending the rally in large numbers, and drew their notice to how the safety of women, under the Congress rule, was under serious threat. He cited the report on ‘Dignity of Women’ which put forth that amongst the top 10 states with maximum atrocities on women, 7 were Congress-ruled.

Affirming of the BJP’s emphasis on farmers’ welfare in the Terai region, Shri Modi stated the inclusion of a standardized quotient for determining the Minimum Support Price for the farm produce, in the BJP’s Manifesto. This, he said, would reinstate the mantra of ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’. He also spoke of the immense yet untapped potential of tourism in the country and stated how Uttarakhand could also elicit a large number of tourists. He asserted the BJP’s commitment to develop every region with separate development modules, incorporating the strengths and weaknesses of that region, and this would include a different growth policy for the states in the Himalayan range.

Shri Modi recalled his early years spent in Uttarakhand as an organisation worker. He also spoke of how he had visited the region during the natural calamity in June last year, wishing to serve the people, but had to leave soon due to unwarranted political intrusion.

Urging the people to end the misrule of the Congress, Shri Modi appealed to them to vote for the BJP in large numbers and ensure a strong and stable government in Delhi. He affirmed that he would serve the people by being their ‘sevak’ and the ‘chowkidaar’ of the country’s reserves.

Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Major-General (Retd.) Bhuwan Chand Khanduri was present during the rally at Srinagar. He spoke of how Shri Modi had extended a helping hand generously during the natural calamity that hit the State last year, and affirmed of the people’s wish to see Shri Modi as the PM of India.

Shri Bhagat Singh Koshiyari was present during the rally at Almora and Shri Satpal Maharaj and Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal was present during the rally at Roorkee.

Namaskar, friends!

I welcome all members of the media fraternity to the Monsoon Session.

Friends,

The monsoon symbolises freshness and creation. According to the reports received so far, the weather across the country is progressing favourably, with news of a season beneficial for agriculture. Rain plays a crucial role not only in the economy of our farmers but also in the national economy, the rural economy, and indeed in the economy of every household. Based on the information I have received, the water storage this year has been nearly three times higher than what has been recorded in the past ten years, which will greatly benefit the country’s economy in the days to come.

Friends,

This Monsoon Session is a matter of immense pride for the nation. This session, in itself, is a celebration of victory for the country. When I say that this session is a celebration of national pride and triumph, the foremost reason is the unfurling of the Indian tricolour for the first time at the International Space Station — a moment of immense pride for every Indian. It has been a successful journey that has filled the nation with renewed enthusiasm and excitement for science, technology, and innovation. The entire Parliament — both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha — along with the citizens of the country, will join in a unified voice to celebrate this achievement. This unified appreciation will also serve as an inspiration and encouragement for Bharat's upcoming space missions that aim to reach greater heights.

Friends,

This Monsoon Session is indeed a celebration of triumph. The entire world has witnessed the strength of Bharat's military capabilities. During Operation Sindoor, the Indian armed forces achieved their objectives with 100 percent success. Within just 22 minutes, the mission neutralised its target right inside the enemy's territory. I had announced this during a programme in Bihar, and our armed forces accomplished it within a very short time. The new face of our ‘Made in India’ military strength has attracted global attention. These days, when I meet global leaders, there is growing interest in the indigenous defence equipment being developed in Bharat. I firmly believe that when Parliament, in one unified voice, expresses sentiments of victory during this session, it will further strengthen and inspire our armed forces. It will serve as motivation for the country and will provide a boost to research, innovation, and manufacturing in the defence sector. The ‘Made in India’ defence equipment will gain further momentum, creating new employment opportunities for our youth.

Friends,

This decade may well be described as a time where peace and progress are advancing hand in hand. We are experiencing development at every step. The nation has long suffered from various forms of violence, ever since independence — be it terrorism or Naxalism. Some of these issues may have emerged earlier, some later. However, today the sphere of influence of Naxalism and Maoism is shrinking rapidly. With a firm resolve to uproot Maoism and Naxalism from its roots, our defence forces are progressing towards success at a fast pace and with newfound confidence. I can say with pride that hundreds of districts across the country, once gripped by Naxal influence, are now breathing the air of freedom. We take pride in the fact that our Constitution is triumphing over bombs, guns, and pistols — our Constitution is emerging victorious. It is clearly evident that the regions once labelled as the Red Corridor are now transforming into zones of green growth, symbolising a bright future for the nation.

Friends,

One after another, such events serve as moments of pride for every honourable Member of Parliament who has entered this House in service of the nation and its well-being. And during this session of Parliament, the entire country will hear this tale of pride — from every Member of Parliament, from every political party.

Friends,

When you entrusted us with responsibility in 2014, the country was passing through a phase where it was counted among the Fragile Five economies. Before 2014, we ranked 10th in the global economy. Today, Bharat is rapidly progressing towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy. These days, the upliftment of 25 crore poor people out of poverty is being widely appreciated by numerous international institutions. There was a time in the country, before 2014, when the inflation rate used to be in double digits. Today, with inflation coming down to around 2 percent, it has brought relief and comfort to the common man. Low inflation, accompanied by high growth, reflects a healthy and progressive developmental journey.

Friends,

The world is now witnessing and recognising the new capabilities of Bharat through Digital India and UPI, which are generating considerable global interest. UPI has carved a distinct identity for itself in the Fintech world. Bharat now leads the world in real-time digital transactions.

Friends,

Recently, there was a global conference of the International Labour Organization, where Bharat achieved a major milestone. According to the ILO, over 90 crore people in Bharat are now covered under social security — an enormous achievement in itself. Similarly, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Bharat free from trachoma — an eye disease commonly seen during the monsoon season. This is another significant accomplishment for Bharat in the field of public health.

Friends,

The brutal killing, atrocities, and massacre in Pahalgam had shocked the entire world. Attention turned towards the terrorists and their masterminds. At that moment, setting aside party interests and working in the national interest, representatives of most political parties and states travelled around the globe to various countries and led a successful campaign to expose Pakistan — the hub of terrorism — before the world. Today, I wish to commend all those Members of Parliament and political parties for this important work done in the national interest. Their efforts created a positive atmosphere in the country. The world opened its doors to hearing and accepting Bharat's perspective. I consider it my privilege to applaud our Members of Parliament and political parties for this.

Friends,

We know how the spirit of unity and a collective voice fills the nation with great enthusiasm. This celebration of victory will also be reflected in the Monsoon Session with the same spirit — it will appreciate the strength of our armed forces, glorify the nation’s capabilities, and serve as a new source of inspiration for 140 crore Indians. I firmly believe that all of us, together, must strengthen our efforts towards self-reliance in the defence sector and appreciate the might of our armed forces. Today, I must say to the people of the country, and to all political parties, that the nation has witnessed the power of unity and the strength of one collective voice. Honourable Members of Parliament must also strengthen and advance this spirit within the House. I accept the reality that political parties are different — each has its own agenda, its own role. But I also acknowledge this truth: even if minds do not meet on party interests, they must come together on national interest. With this very sentiment, many important bills — which will strengthen the nation’s journey of development, advance the country's progress, and empower its citizens — have been proposed for this Monsoon Session. I am confident the House will conduct detailed discussions and pass them.

My best wishes to all Honourable Members of Parliament for meaningful and constructive debates.

Thanks a lot!
