On August 18th, after dedicating development projects worth Rs. 1.25 lakh crores in Ara district of Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a mega Parivartan Rally in Saharsa. Beginning his address and speaking about the upcoming state elections, the Prime Minister said that it was very clear which way the wind was blowing in Bihar.

He noted that how seven years back the flood in Kosi Riveradversely affected the lives of lakhs of people in the entire state. Adding further, the Prime Minister quoted, “People across India stood with you during those times. But the arrogance of a few people in power is such they can't understand things.” Adding further the Prime Minister said that if someone launched a personal attack on him, he would never comment about them in public. “But when because of arrogance, the pain of the people is toyed with, I can't stop myself”, he further added.

People from Gujarat, the PM said, had contributed Rs. 5 crore from their hard earned money for relief work after the devastating flood but those in power at that time refused the cheque. “See the arrogance. You were suffering while their arrogance was sky high. He sent the cheque back. Is this behaviour acceptable?” said Shri Modi. Speaking further, Shri Modi said that due to such arrogance, the dreams of people of Bihar were shattered completely.

Shri Narendra Modi also recalled the contribution of Jayaprakash Narayan who was put in jail during the Emergency period for raising voice against corruption. He held the Congress party under Indira Gandhi’s rule responsible for the same. “Who is responsible for the demise of JP? These people of the Congress who played these games with JP”, said the Prime Minister.

In his address, the PM also took note on surge in crime rates under the current JDU Government. “In January 2015 the crimes in Bihar stood at 13,808. In 6 months the number has reached 18,500”, said Shri Modi. He expressed concern over the number of riots in Bihar that rose steadily from around 866 in January to around 1500 by the month of June. The common people of Bihar, Shri Modi said were not safe. “These killings and riots have to stop”, the PM added.

PM Narendra Modi said that today’s Bihar was moving towards the politics of development. He exhorted the people of Bihar to elect a steady and development oriented NDA Government in the coming State elections. Shri Narendra Modi said that the Centre has been committed to Bihar’s development and the special package worth Rs. 1.25 lakh crores would change the face of Bihar.

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.
