Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the BJP’s poll campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections with a significant rally in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, underlining the bond he shares with the land from previous election campaigns. The Prime Minister’s speech was more than a political pitch; it was a vision for a ‘Viksit Bharat,’ emphasizing the elections as a critical juncture for India’s progress towards becoming the world’s third-largest economic powerhouse. Modi’s narrative was clear – the journey from poverty to prosperity is closely linked with India’s position in the global economic hierarchy, and the 2024 verdict will be pivotal in eradicating poverty from the nation.
Highlighting the achievements of the past decade, PM Modi pointed to the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the strides in women’s empowerment as testaments to the BJP’s commitment to development and social change. From transforming millions of women into entrepreneurs to integrating them into the military and other professions, the Prime Minister showcased his government’s efforts towards creating an inclusive and progressive India. The ‘Namo Drone Didi Scheme’ was spotlighted as a revolutionary initiative set to empower women in rural areas.
In contrast to the developmental achievements, PM Modi did not shy away from addressing the challenges of corruption, marking a clear distinction between his administration’s approach and that of the opposition. With a firm stance on anti-corruption, he reassured the audience of his unwavering commitment to reclaiming the nation’s wealth from corrupt individuals, emphasizing that no one is above the law. This resolve was further exemplified in his critique of the Congress’s historical blunders, particularly the ceding of Katchatheevu Island to Sri Lanka, showcasing the opposition’s failures in safeguarding national interests.
As the rally transitioned towards discussing future initiatives, PM Modi elaborated on plans to diversify sugarcane cultivation, enhance farmer incomes through schemes like PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, and ensure affordable agricultural inputs. The introduction of the PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana represents a stride towards energy independence and economic efficiency, promising free electricity and support for solar energy adoption.
Concluding his address, PM Modi did not just call for electoral support but invoked a sense of duty towards nation-building. The rallying cry for surpassing 400 seats is not merely a political goal but a call to action for achieving a developed India, women’s empowerment, farmer prosperity, and a corruption-free society. As Meerut echoes with chants of “400 Paar,” the stage is set for an election that transcends political rivalry, aiming for the holistic development and global ascent of India.
