Lashing out at the regional alliance of the Congress and DMK for their failed governance, PM Modi said, “Those parties who used to be sworn enemies have now formed alliances to hoodwink the people of Tamil Nadu. The people remember how in 1979, Congress insulted the DMK, the same also happened recently when DMK leader Kanimozhi was arrested in the 2G scam and DMK leaders were fiercely criticising the Congress. Their recent alliance in the ‘Maha-Milawat’ is not to serve the people of Tamil Nadu but to serve their own families first. All of the leaders in the ‘Maha-Milawat’ want to become the PM. That is why, the people of Tamil Nadu do not trust them anymore.”

Speaking at length about key achievements of the NDA during the last five years, Prime Minister Modi said, “The NDA government has worked for everyone with its mantra of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.’ We increased the MSP of farmers’ crops by 1.5 times its cost and also implemented the decades-long demand of soldiers for One Rank, One Pension. We enhanced the sanitation coverage in the country from 38% in 2014 to 98% in 2019. We opened millions of bank accounts for the poor and also gave them access to clean cooking fuel and electricity.”

Talking about how the BJP stands with the traditions and culture of the people of India, PM Modi said, “We also stand for respect for people’s faith. We have strongly condemned the actions of the Congress and Communists about the Sabarimala Temple issue. As a result, our ‘Sankalp Patr’ also mentions that we will actively pursue for constitutional protection for matters of faith for millions of people in order to prevent a repeat of what has happened in the Sabarimala Temple.”

PM Modi’s remarks during the BRICS session: Peace and Security
July 06, 2025

Friends,

Global peace and security are not just ideals, rather they are the foundation of our shared interests and future. Progress of humanity is possible only in a peaceful and secure environment. BRICS has a very important role in fulfilling this objective. It is time for us to come together, unite our efforts, and collectively address the challenges we all face. We must move forward together.

Friends,

Terrorism is the most serious challenge facing humanity today. India recently endured a brutal and cowardly terrorist attack. The terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22nd April was a direct assault on the soul, identity, and dignity of India. This attack was not just a blow to India but to the entire humanity. In this hour of grief and sorrow, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the friendly countries who stood with us and expressed support and condolences.

Condemning terrorism must be a matter of principle, and not just of convenience. If our response depends on where or against whom the attack occurred, it shall be a betrayal of humanity itself.

Friends,

There must be no hesitation in imposing sanctions on terrorists. The victims and supporters of terrorism cannot be treated equally. For the sake of personal or political gain, giving silent consent to terrorism or supporting terrorists or terrorism, should never be acceptable under any circumstances. There should be no difference between our words and actions when it comes to terrorism. If we cannot do this, then the question naturally arises whether we are serious about fighting terrorism or not?

Friends,

Today, from West Asia to Europe, the whole world is surrounded by disputes and tensions. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is a cause of grave concern. India firmly believes that no matter how difficult the circumstances, the path of peace is the only option for the good of humanity.

India is the land of Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi. We have no place for war and violence. India supports every effort that takes the world away from division and conflict and leads us towards dialogue, cooperation, and coordination; and increases solidarity and trust. In this direction, we are committed to cooperation and partnership with all friendly countries. Thank you.

Friends,

In conclusion, I warmly invite all of you to India next year for the BRICS Summit, which will be held under India’s chairmanship.

Thank you very much.
