Ahead of the impending Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed powerful rallies in Anand, Surendranagar, Junagadh and Jamnagar in Gujarat. He added that his mission is a 'Viksit Bharat' and added, "24 x 7 for 2047 to enable a Viksit Bharat."

Speaking on the robust development ushered by the BJP in 10 years compared to the 60 years of Congress, PM Modi said that our goal has been to enable the last-mile reach of development benefits to all. He said, "Congress provided water to only 16% of households in 60 years and we raised it to 75% in 10 years." He said that we have provided various developmental benefits to the people of India.

Highlighting the situation of our neighbouring country, PM Modi said, "The country that exports terror is struggling to import 'Atta'." He added that this same country's reign of terror was prominent during Congress times, but our government's all-round development model has kept the country at bay. He said that Pakistan is experiencing its most considerable pain based on India's growth and development. He added, "Congress' deep partnership & collaboration with Pakistan has been exposed."

|

Lamenting India's enemies, PM Modi said, "India's enemies hope for a weak government that existed before 2014." He added that the enemies of India wanted a government that existed during India's 26/11 terror attack. He said that the enemies of India wished for a corrupt government in India. He added that, unlike the above, India today is a bright spot in the global economy and a 'Vishwamitra'. He said that India is ensuring the safety of all through the Tiranga today.

Exposing the Congress-led box of lies, PM Modi said, "Congress has emerged as a 'Fake Factory'."

“Congress is selling lies from its Mohabbat ki Dukaan”, he said. He added that Congress has resorted to lies while subscribing to the ideals of the 'Muslim League' in the Manifesto. He said that Congress has only made false promises for 'Garibi Hatao' and has not even solved the minor problems ordinary people face. He said that Congress has betrayed the trust of the people of India.

PM Modi elaborated on Congress-led vote-bank politics, "Congress has only indulged in 'Minority vote-bank' politics." He added that their appeasement politics is making them give minorities a religion-based reservation at the cost of reservation meant for SC-ST-OBCs. He added, "Congress has been anti-OBC since the 1990s and even opposed the constitutional status to OBC Commission." He added that BJP has always enabled 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'; hence, our Central Ministries constitute 60% of Ministers from the SC-ST-OBC communities.

|

PM Modi challenged the opposition and said, "I have three challenges for the Congress." Addressing a rally in Anand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he has three challenges for the Congress: First, they must not indulge in religion-based reservations disregarding the Constitution. Second, they must not reduce the reservations meant for the SC-ST-OBCs. Third, they must not play the card of appeasement politics in any state of India.

Attacking the Congress-led dangerous trend, PM Modi said, "I.N.D.I alliance aims for 'Vote Jihad' in India." He added that this is a dangerous tendency as, on the one hand, they wish to promote reservations to minorities at the cost of SC-ST-OBCs, and on the other hand, they wish to do a 'Vote Jihad'.

|

Talking about the ‘Report Card’ of governance, PM Modi said, “Congress 'Report Card' is a 'Report Card' of scams.” He added that their record is a replete of scams be it 2G, CAG, Commonwealth and Chopper scam. He added that the BJP's report record was synonymous with unprecedented development. He added that our report card has actually shown the reduction of poverty empowering all.

|

Criticizing Congress’ defeatist attitude, PM Modi said, “Congress' in its frustration of loss has divided the Indian society.” He added that their appeasement-politics also makes them against century-old traditions. He said that the Congress even boycotted the Pran-Pratishtha of Shri Ram in Ayodhya. He added, “Congress aims to create a conflict between 'Ram Bhakti & Shiv Bhakti'." He said that the President of Congress party has tried to create conflicts between Shiv and Ram Bhakts, aiming to create unneccesary divisions in the country.

|

Reposing the government’s commitment to safeguarding the India Consitution, PM Modi said, “Surendranagar is a witness to Modi's commitment towards the Constituion.” He added that as CM of Gujarat he also took out a Gaurav Yatra to celebrate 60 years of the Indian Constitution. He also said that it's our government that has commemorated the 26th November as 'Constitution Day' and will celebrate its 75th anniversary grandly.

|

Addressing a rally in Junagadh and attacking the Congress’s intent of divisive politics, PM Modi said, “Congress opposes abrogation of Article 370 and CAA to enable divisive politics.” He added that Congress aims to divide India into North and South. He said that Congress aims to keep India insecure to play its power politics.

|

Developing the coastal ecosystem of Gujarat and India, PM Modi said, “We have always aimed to develop a robust coastal infrastructure in Gujarat.” He added that in keeping with the Coastal economy we have developed a huge harbor in Gujarat that will also enable trade and connectivity. This has also been coupled with better production and processing facilities for our fishermen, said PM Modi.

|

Addressing a rally in Jamnagar, PM Modi said “It’s owing to the efforts of Maharja Digvijay Singh of Jamnagar that India has great relations with Poland.” He added that Maharaja Digvijay Singh gave safe haven to Polish citizens fleeing the country owing to World War-2.

|

PM Modi further spoke of his close association with Jam Saheb’s entire family for decades. “I have been receiving special affection from Jam Saheb. The kings and emperors of our country had sacrificed their lives for generations to create a united India. This country can never forget his contribution,” he added.

|

Speaking on the unprecedented development of Jamnagar in the last decade, PM Modi said, “Jamnagar today hosts the WHO for Global Traditional Medicine and is the world’s largest refineries hub.” He added that the Sauni Yojana has played a pivotal role in enabling ‘Har Ghar Jal’ and ‘Har Khet ko Pani’ in the various areas of Jamnagar and the adjoining areas.

|

In conclusion, PM Modi thanked the people of Gujarat for a large turnout and expressed confidence that they would vote for a stable government and support its future development imperatives.

Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar Ji
Members of the Cabinet,
All the Dignitaries present today,
Members of the Indian diaspora,

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Namaskar !
Seeta Ram !
Jai Shri Ram !

Can you mark something… what a coincidence!

It is a matter of immense pride and joy for me to be with all of you this evening. I thank Prime Minister Kamla Ji for her wonderful hospitality and kind words.

|

I arrived a short while ago in this beautiful land of Humming Birds.And, my very first engagement is with the Indian community here. It feels completely natural. After all, we are part of one family. I thank you for your warmth and affection.

Friends,

I know the story of the Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago is about courage. The circumstances your ancestors faced could have broken even the strongest of spirits. But they faced hardships with hope. They met problems with persistence.

They left the Ganga and Yamuna behind but carried the Ramayan in their hearts. They left their soil, but not their soul. They were not just migrants. They were messengers of a timeless civilization. Their contributions have benefitted this country - culturally, economically and spiritually. Just look at the impact that you have all had on this beautiful nation.

Kamla Persad-Bissessar Ji - as the first woman Prime Minister of this country. Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo Ji - as the female President. Late Shri Basdeo Pandey, the son of a farmer, rose to become Prime Minister and a respected global leader. Eminent math scholar Rudranath Capildeo, Music Icon Sundar Popo, Cricketing talent Daren Ganga, and Sewdass Sadhu, whose devotion built the Temple in the Sea. The list of achievers goes on.

You, the children of Girmitiyas, are not defined by struggle anymore. You are defined by your success, your service, and your values. Honestly, there must be something magical in the "doubles” and "dal poori” — because you have doubled the success of this great nation!

Friends,

When I last visited 25 years ago, we all admired the cover drives and pull shots of Lara. Today, it is Sunil Narine and Nicholas Pooran who ignite the same excitement in the hearts of our youth. Between then and now, our friendship has grown even stronger.

Benaras, Patna, Kolkata, Delhi may be cities in India. But they are also names of streets here. Navratra, Mahashivratri, Janmasthmi are celebrated here with joy, spirit and pride. Chowtal and Baithak Gana continue to thrive here.

I can see the warmth of many familiar faces. And I see curiosity in the bright eyes of a younger generation - keen to know and grow together. Truly, our bonds go well beyond geography and generations.

Friends,

I know of your deep faith in Prabhu Shri Ram.

एक सौ अस्सी साल बीतल हो, मन न भुलल हो, भजन राम के, हर दिल में गूंजल हो ।

The Ram-Leelas in Sangre Grande and Dow Village are said to be truly unique. Shri Ram Charit Manas says,

राम धामदा पुरी सुहावनि।
लोक समस्त बिदित अति पावनि।।

It means, the sacred city of Prabhu Shri Ram is so beautiful that its glory is spread across the world. I am sure you all welcomed the return of Ram Lalla to Ayodhya after 500 years with great joy.

|

We remember, you had sent holy water and Shilas for building the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. I have also brought something here with a similar sense of devotion. It is my honour to bring a replica of Ram Mandir and some water from the river Sarayu in Ayodhya.

जन्मभूमि मम पुरी सुहावनि ।
उत्तर दिसि बह सरजू पावनि ।।
जा मज्जन ते बिनहिं प्रयासा ।
मम समीप नर पावहिं बासा ।।

Prabhu Shri Ram says that the glory of Ayodhya springs from the holy Sarayu. Whoever takes a dip in its water, finds eternal union with Shri Ram himself.

सरयू जी और पवित्र संगम का ये जल, आस्था का अमृत है। ये वो प्रवाहमान धारा है, जो हमारे मूल्यों को...हमारे संस्कारों को हमेशा जीवंत रखती है।

You all know that earlier this year, the world’s largest spiritual gathering, the Maha Kumbh took place. I have the honour to carry water from the Maha Kumbh also with me. I request Kamla ji to offer the holy waters of the Sarayu River and Maha Kumbh to the Ganga Dhara here. May these holy waters bless the people of Trinidad and Tobago.

Friends,

We deeply value the strength and support of our diaspora. With over 35 million people spread across the world, the Indian diaspora is our pride. As I have often said, each one of you is a Rashtradoot – an Ambassador of India’s values, culture and heritage.

This year, when we hosted the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas in Bhubaneshwar, Her Excellency President Christine Carla Kangaloo ji was our Chief Guest. A few years ago, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar Ji had honoured us with her presence.

At the Pravasi Bhartiya Divas, I announced several initiatives to honour and connect with the Girmitiya community across the world. We are mapping the past and bringing people closer for a bright future. We are actively working on creating a comprehensive database of the Girmitiya Community. Documenting the villages and cities in India from which their ancestors migrated, identifying the places where they have settled, studying and preserving the legacy of the Girmitiya ancestors, and working to organise World Girmitiya Conferences regularly. This will support the deep and historic ties with our brothers and sisters in Trinidad and Tobago as well.

Today, I am happy to announce that OCI cards will now be given to the sixth generation of the Indian diaspora in Trinidad & Tobago. You are not just connected by blood or surname. You are connected by belonging. India looks out you, India welcomes you, and India embraces you.

Friends,

प्रधानमंत्री कमला जी के पूर्वज बिहार के बक्सर में रहा करते थे। कमला जी वहां जाकर भी आई हैं.... लोग इन्हें बिहार की बेटी मानते हैं

People in India consider Prime Minister Kamla ji as the daughter of Bihar.

यहां उपस्थित अनेक लोगों के पूर्वज बिहार से ही आए थे। बिहार की विरासत... भारत के साथ ही दुनिया का भी गौरव है। लोकतंत्र हो, राजनीति हो, कूटनीति हो, हायर एजुकेशन हो...बिहार ने सदियों पहले दुनिया को ऐसे अनेक विषयों में नई दिशा दिखाई थी। मुझे विश्वास है, 21वीं सदी की दुनिया के लिए भी बिहार की धरती से, नई प्रेरणाएं, नए अवसर निकलेंगे।

Like Kamla ji, there are many people here whose roots lie in Bihar. The heritage of Bihar is a matter of pride for all of us.

Friends,

I am sure everyone among you feels proud when India grows. For New India, even the sky is not the limit. You all must have cheered when India’s Chandrayaan landed on the moon. The place where it landed, we have named it Shiv Shakti point.

You must have also heard the news recently. An Indian astronaut is on board the International Space Station even as we speak. We are now working on a manned space mission – Gaganyaan. The time is not far when an Indian will walk on the moon and India will have its own space station.

हम अब तारों को सिर्फ गिनते नहीं हैं...आदित्य मिशन के रूप में...उनके पास तक जाने का प्रयास करते हैं।हमारे लिए अब चंदा मामा दूर के नहीं हैं ।हम अपनी मेहनत से असंभव को भी संभव बना रहे हैं।

India’s achievements in space are not just ours. We are sharing its fruits with the rest of the world.

Friends,

India is the fastest growing major economy in the world. Soon, we will be among the top three economies of the world. The fruits of India’s growth and progress are reaching the most needy.

भारत ने दिखाया है कि गरीबों को सशक्त करके... Empower करके... गरीबी को हराया जा सकता है। पहली बार करोड़ों लोगों में विश्वास जागा है, कि भारत गरीबी से मुक्त हो सकता है।

The World Bank has noted that India has lifted over 250 million people above extreme poverty in the last decade. India’s growth is being powered by our innovative and energetic youth.

Today, India is the third largest startup hub in the world. Nearly half of these startups also have women as directors. Nearly 120 startups have got unicorn status. National missions for AI, Semiconductor and Quantum computing are becoming the new engines of growth. In a way, innovation is becoming a mass movement.

India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionized digital payments. Nearly 50% of the world's real-time digital transactions take place in India. I congratulate Trinidad & Tobago for being the first country in the region to adopt UPI. Now sending money will be as easy as sending a ‘good morning’ text message! And I promise, it will be faster than West Indies bowling.

|

Friends,

Our Mission Manufacturing is working to make India a manufacturing hub. We have become the world’s second largest mobile manufacturer. We are exporting railway locomotives to the world.

Our defence exports have increased 20-fold in just the last decade. We are not just making in India. We are making for the world. As we grow, we are ensuring that it is of mutual benefit to the world.

Friends,

Today’s India is a land of opportunities. Whether it is business, tourism, education, or healthcare, India has a lot to offer.

Your ancestors took a long and difficult journey, over a 100 days across the seas, to reach here – Saat Samandar Par! Today, that same journey takes just a few hours. I encourage you all to visit India more, in person, not just virtually on social media!

|

Visit the villages of your ancestors. Walk the soil they walked on. Bring your children, bring your neighbours. Bring anyone who enjoys chai and a good story. We will welcome you all – with open arms, warm hearts, and jalebi!

With these words, I thank you all once again for the love and affection you have shown to me.

I specially thank Prime Minister Kamla Ji for honouring me with your highest national award.

बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद.

Namaskar !
Sita Ram !
Jai Shri Ram !
