PM Modi today lashed out at the Congress party for seeking votes in the name of caste. He slated them for divisive politics. He highlighted that the BJP's agenda was only development and urged people to elect a stable BJP government devoted to serve the people in Gujarat.

Campaigning in Lunavada, PM Modi launched attack on the Congress party for caste politics and divisive tactics. The PM said, “The BJP is asking for votes in these elections on our development agenda. Sadly, the Congress is asking for votes in the name of caste politics, divisive tactics.”

Adding further the PM remarked, “Congress has been rejected comprehensively across the nation. Gujarat too will reject the Congress and will punish the Congress for their politics.”

He mentioned how the Congress was completely wiped off in the recent civic body elections in Uttar Pradesh.

Attacking the Congress he further remarked about Salman Nizami’s derogatory tweet. He said, “There is a youth Congress leader Salman Nizami, he is even campaigning for Congress in Gujarat. He wrote on Twitter about Rahul Ji's father, grandmother. That is ok but he asks - Modi tell me who is your Mother, who is your father. Such language can't even be used for enemies.”

PM Modi also slammed Salman Nizami for his pro-Pakistan slogans. The PM said, “Salman Nizami asks on Twitter- Modi who is your father, who is your mother. Among the other things he says- he calls for Azad Kashmir. He calls our army rapists. How can the people accept such people like Salman Nizami. He also says there will be an Afzal from every home!”

The PM cautioned the Congress and said, “I want to tell all Congress leaders who are abusing me, mocking my poor family, asking who my parents are- this nation is my everything. Every moment of my time is devoted to India and 125 crore Indians.”

The PM alleged that in every part of the nation, the Congress had misled the Muslim community and made fake promises of reservations for Muslims but in no state they fulfilled their promise.

In Bodeli, the PM said, “Congress leaders are unable to understand and identify with the aspirations of the tribal communities and the farmers.”

The Prime Minister said that the BJP's vision for development was about scale and service delivery while Congress leaders fought polls on providing hand pumps.

The PM spoke at length about Government initiatives being undertaken for well being of people. He said that without development there was no other solution to the problems India faced. He highlighted how Mudra Yojana was empowering and strengthening the weaker sections across the country.

PM Modi’s remarks during the BRICS session: ‘Peace and Security and Reform of Global Governance’
July 06, 2025

Your Highness,

Excellencies,

Namaskar!

I express my heartfelt gratitude to President Lula for the excellent organisation of the 17th BRICS Summit. Under Brazil’s dynamic chairmanship, our BRICS cooperation has gained fresh momentum and vitality. And let me say—the energy we’ve received isn’t just an espresso; it’s a double espresso shot! For this, I applaud President Lula's vision and his unwavering commitment. On behalf of India, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to my friend, President Prabowo, on Indonesia’s inclusion in the BRICS family.

Friends,

The Global South has often faced double standards. Whether it's about development, distribution of resources, or security related matters, the interests of the Global South have not been given due importance. The Global South often received nothing more than token gestures on topics like climate finance, sustainable development, and technology access.

Friends,

Two-thirds of humanity still lack proper representation in global institutions built in the 20th century. Many countries that play a key role in today’s global economy are yet to be given a seat at the decision-making table. This is not just about representation, it’s also about credibility and effectiveness. Without the Global South, these institutions are like a mobile phone with a SIM card but no network. They’re unable to function properly or meet the challenges of the 21st century. Whether it's ongoing conflicts across the world, the pandemic, economic crises, or emerging challenges in cyber or space, these institutions have failed to offer solutions.

Friends,

Today the world needs a new multipolar and inclusive world order. This will have to start with comprehensive reforms in global institutions. These reforms should not be merely symbolic, but their real impact should also be visible. There must be changes in governance structures, voting rights, and leadership positions. The challenges faced by countries in the Global South must be given priority in policymaking.

Friends,

The expansion of BRICS and the inclusion of new partners reflect its ability to evolve with the times. Now, we must demonstrate the same determination to reform institutions like the UN Security Council, the WTO, and Multilateral Development Banks. In the age of AI, where technology evolves every week, it's unacceptable for global institutions to go eighty years without reform. You can’t run 21st-century software on 20th-century typewriters!

Friends,

India has always considered it a duty to rise above self interest and work towards the interest of humanity. We’re fully committed to work along with the BRICS countries on all matters, and provide our constructive contributions. Thank you very much.
