What our scientists at ISRO have achieved is a historic feat and puts us at the centre of global space power: PM Modi in Wardha
The Congress-NCP take turns in hibernating once they assume power. They come to power, accumulate money from the honest taxpayers and public and then use them for personal gains: PM Modi
The people of Maharashtra will never be fooled by the opportunist Congress-NCP alliance which is formed not to serve the people of the state but to serve the dynasts: Prime Minister Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a major public meeting in Wardha, Maharashtra today.

Applauding the ISRO scientists for the successful completion of the Mission Shakti which saw India become a part of an elite group of space powers in the world, Prime Minister Modi said, “What our scientists at ISRO have achieved is a historic feat and puts us at the centre of global space power. I congratulate them whole-heartedly for this major achievement.”

Coming down heavily on the Congress for ignoring the country’s best interests instead working towards expanding the interests of its ‘first-family,’ PM Modi reminded people how the Congress party did not live up to the ideals of Gandhiji and Vinoba Bhave Ji and did nothing to improve sanitation and cleanliness in the country. He also took potshots at the Congress for its high-headedness when one of its leaders recently commented that in these last five years, PM Modi could only become the ‘Chowkidar’ of toilets. PM Modi responded by saying that statements like these show the true colours of the elitism of the Congress and its leaders.

Prime Minister Modi also spoke at length about the Congress-NCP alliance for the upcoming elections and its impact on Maharashtrian politics saying, “The Congress-NCP take turns in hibernating once they assume power. They come to power, accumulate money from the honest taxpayers and public and then use them for personal gains. This is the characteristic feature of this alliance, which is only formed to serve personal interests and not to serve the people of Maharashtra.” He further added that the parties in this alliance betrayed the farmers when they were in power and used brute force to crush any protests of farmers, as a result of which hundreds of farmers were forced to commit suicide in their tenure.

Concluding his address to the huge crowd of supporters, PM Modi listed out how the BJP government was different from the Congress and its allies in managing the concerns of the farmers as well as enhancing ease of living for the middle class. Describing several important infrastructure projects in Mahasrashtra and initiatives by the central government, PM Modi asked his supporters to vote for the BJP in the upcoming elections in order to retain this rapid pace of progress taking place in the state and country and not be fooled by the hollow promises of the Congress and its opportunist allies.

PM Modi addresses a public rally virtually in Nadia, West Bengal
December 20, 2025
Bengal and the Bengali language have made invaluable contributions to India’s history and culture, with Vande Mataram being one of the nation’s most powerful gifts: PM Modi
West Bengal needs a BJP government that works at double speed to restore the state’s pride: PM in Nadia
Whenever BJP raises concerns over infiltration, TMC leaders respond with abuse, which also explains their opposition to SIR in West Bengal: PM Modi
West Bengal must now free itself from what he described as Maha Jungle Raj: PM Modi’s call for “Bachte Chai, BJP Tai”

PM Modi addressed a public rally in Nadia, West Bengal through video conferencing after being unable to attend the programme physically due to adverse weather conditions. He sought forgiveness from the people, stating that dense fog made it impossible for the helicopter to land safely. Earlier today, the PM also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated development works in Ranaghat, a major way forward towards West Bengal’s growth story.

The PM expressed deep grief over a mishap involving BJP karyakartas travelling to attend the rally. He conveyed heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.

PM Modi said that Nadia is the sacred land where Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the embodiment of love, compassion and devotion, manifested himself. He noted that the chants of Harinaam Sankirtan that once echoed across villages and along the banks of the Ganga were not merely expressions of devotion, but a powerful call for social unity.

He highlighted the immense contribution of the Matua community in strengthening social harmony, recalling the teachings of Shri Harichand Thakur, the social reform efforts of Shri Guruchand Thakur, and the motherly compassion of Boro Maa. He bowed to all these revered figures for their lasting impact on society.

The PM said that Bengal and the Bengali language have made invaluable contributions to India’s history and culture, with Vande Mataram being one of the nation’s most powerful gifts. He noted that the country is marking 150 years of Vande Mataram and that Parliament has recently paid tribute to this iconic song. He said West Bengal is the land of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, whose creation of Vande Mataram awakened national consciousness during the freedom struggle.

He stressed that Vande Mataram should inspire a Viksit Bharat and awaken the spirit of a Viksit West Bengal, adding that this sacred idea forms the BJP’s roadmap for the state.

PM Modi said BJP-led governments are focused on policies that enhance the strength and capabilities of every citizen. He cited the GST Savings Festival as an example, noting that essential goods were made affordable, enabling families in West Bengal to celebrate Durga Puja and other festivals with joy.

He also highlighted major investments in infrastructure, mentioning the approval of two important highway projects that will improve connectivity between Kolkata and Siliguri and strengthen regional development.

The PM said the nation wants fast-paced development and referred to Bihar’s recent strong mandate in favour of the BJP-NDA. He recalled stating that the Ganga flows from Bihar to Bengal and that Bihar has shown the path for BJP’s victory in West Bengal as well.

He said that while Bihar has decisively rejected jungle raj, West Bengal must now free itself from what he described as Maha Jungle Raj. Referring to the popular slogan, he said the state is calling out, “Bachte Chai, BJP Tai.”

The PM emphasised that there is no shortage of funds, intent or schemes for West Bengal’s development, but alleged that projects worth thousands of crores are stalled due to corruption and commissions. He appealed to the people to give BJP a chance and form a double-engine government to witness rapid development.

He cautioned people to remain alert against what he described as TMC’s conspiracies, alleging that the party is focused on protecting infiltrators. He said that whenever BJP raises concerns over infiltration, TMC leaders respond with abuse, which also explains their opposition to SIR in West Bengal.

Concluding his address, PM Modi said West Bengal needs a BJP government that works at double speed to restore the state’s pride. He assured that he would speak in greater detail about BJP’s vision when he visits the state in person.
