It is the values of Veer Savarkar that we have put nationalism at the core of nation building: PM Modi in Akola
They do not want a United India but they want a divided India, an India fighting against each other: PM Modi on Opposition
Our endeavour is Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and in the past five years, we have taken great strides in this: PM Modi in Maharashtra
I urge you all to vote for the BJP and bring us back with an even higher majority, says PM Modi in Maharashtra
Narendra-Devendra formula super hit in Maharashtra, says PM Modi in Panvel

Leading the BJP charge, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed three mega election rallies in Maharashtra’s Akola, Jalna and Panvel today. Addressing the gathering, PM Modi accused the opposition parties of politicising the issue of Article 370 and charged them with "speaking on the same lines as that of the neighbouring country".

Hitting out at the opposition parties, Prime Minister Modi asserted, “For political gains, some are openly saying that Article 370 has nothing to do in Maharashtra Assembly Polls, that J&K has nothing to do with Maharashtra. I want to tell such people that J&K and its people are also sons of Maa Bharti only.”

“It is due to Savarkar’s values that we put nationalism as basis for nation building. These people insulted Ambedkar and blocked efforts to accord him Bharat Ratna for decades,” PM Modi said.

"At one time, there were regular incidents of terrorism and hatred in Maharashtra. The culprits got away, and settled in different countries. India wants to ask the people who were in power then, how did all of this happen? How did they escape," he said, slamming the opposition.

Hailing the CM Devendra Fadnavis, the Prime Minister said that Maharashtra has been witnessing development under his leadership. "Before Fadnavis, you have seen a government who have had only one aim - their own progress and the progress of their families. But now the state is witnessing progress,” he said.

“To make India 'Mahan', the contribution of Maharashtra has been 'maha'. You have installed Narendra in Delhi, similarly install Devendra in Maharashtra. This Narendra-Devendra formula has been super hit for the past five years,” said the PM in Panvel.

"Our endeavour is Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas and in the past five years, we have taken great strides in this. I request you all to vote for the BJP and bring us back with an even higher majority," PM Modi urged the gathering.

Calling for high voter turn out, PM Modi said that elections are a festival of democracy and no one should be behind celebrating this festival. He urged citizens of Maharashtra to come out and vote in large numbers on October 21.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi earlier today chaired the meeting of the 45th edition of PRAGATI, the ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, involving Centre and State governments.

In the meeting, eight significant projects were reviewed, which included six Metro Projects of Urban Transport and one project each relating to Road connectivity and Thermal power. The combined cost of these projects, spread across different States/UTs, is more than Rs. 1 lakh crore.

Prime Minister stressed that all government officials, both at the Central and State levels, must recognize that project delays not only escalate costs but also hinder the public from receiving the intended benefits.

During the interaction, Prime Minister also reviewed Public Grievances related to the Banking & Insurance Sector. While Prime Minister noted the reduction in the time taken for disposal, he also emphasized on the quality of disposal of the grievances.

Considering more and more cities are coming up with Metro Projects as one of the preferred public transport systems, Prime Minister advised conducting workshops for experience sharing for cities where projects are under implementation or in the pipeline, to capture the best practices and learnings from experiences.

During the review, Prime Minister stressed on the importance of timely Rehabilitation and Resettlement of Project Affected Families during implementation of projects. He further asked to ensure ease of living for such families by providing quality amenities at the new place.

PM also reviewed PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. He directed to enhance the capacity of installations of Rooftops in the States/UTs by developing a quality vendor ecosystem. He further directed to reduce the time required in the process, starting from demand generation to operationalization of rooftop solar. He further directed states to adopt a saturation approach for villages, towns and cities in a phased manner.

Up to the 45th edition of PRAGATI meetings, 363 projects having a total cost of around Rs. 19.12 lakh crore have been reviewed.
