Rising India Summit 2024: PM Narendra Modi spoke on many issues in the Rising India Summit. Here is his full speech:
Be it the leaders of terrorism or the countries seeking development and peace, everyone has experienced Rising India. This new India does not bear the wounds of terrorism. Rather, it also teaches a lesson with full force to those who inflicted the wounds of terror. The countrymen and the world are also watching what is the condition of those who inflicted wounds on us through terrorist attacks. A secure nation is the basis of a developed nation. And, today this is the identity of India and this is Rising India.
Friends, it is election season and the excitement of elections is at its peak. The dates have also been announced. Many people have expressed their views in your summit also. There is an atmosphere of debate and I believe that this is the beauty of democracy. The election campaign is gradually gaining momentum in the country too. The government is keeping a report card of its 10 years of work. We are making a roadmap for the next 25 years and are also making a plan for the first 100 days of our third term.
Opponents are also making new records
On the other side are our opponents. He is also making new records. Today itself he has abused Modi for the 104th time. He has been honored with the name Aurangzeb. It has been announced to blow Modi’s skull. Amidst all these positive and negative things, the world’s biggest election is going on. More than 2600 political parties, about 97 crore voters, about 2 crore first time voters are going to participate in this festival of democracy.
India Mother of Democracy
As the Mother of Democracy, it is a matter of pride for every Indian, for every person sitting here in the hall and equally for your TV viewers. Friends, today the whole world calls the 21st century the century of India. Big rating agencies, big economists, big experts are very confident about Rising India. There is no if, no but, no if, no but in the minds of these people. Why is this so? There is no question mark, why is it so? This is because the whole world is seeing today what huge changes India has made in the last ten years.
developed india self-reliant india
It was not so easy to bring about transformation in the system and work culture that was formed after independence. But this has happened and it is we Indians who have shown this. Today India’s confidence label is reflected in the words of every Indian. We are talking about developed India. Today we are talking about self-reliant India. People may be in the opposition, within the country, or outside the country. Everyone is watching India’s achievements.
25 crore people came out of poverty in 10 years
25 crore people coming out of poverty in just ten years, could it have happened just like this? India’s transformation from 11th to 5th economy in just 10 years, could it have happened just like this? Could India’s forex reserves have increased to beyond $700 billion in just ten years? Could it have happened just like this that India’s exports crossed $700 billion in just 10 years? And this is nothing yet, there is still much further to go.
We are the youngest country in the world
You know how the bureaucracy works in our governments. Then what was that one factor, due to which this change occurred? That is one factor, intention. If the intention is right then the work is right. And which intention is the intention of Nation First? There is no shortage in my country that it should be recognized as a poor country. We are the youngest country in the world. At one time we were at the forefront of knowledge and science. There is no reason in the world that India should lag behind any country. We just have to move forward with the intention of Nation First. This country which gives us so much, we just live in it, or even do something different for the country. This difference is very subtle. But it is the subtle differences that take the country forward.
nation first
The day you will link your work with the nation, whatever you are, whether you are a doctor, engineer, starting a startup, the day you will link your work with the goals of the country, then the nation will understand. The seed of the first has germinated in you. This same seed of Nation First is becoming the basis of Rising India today in the government, in the system, in every system, in the individual, in every corner of the country. Live only for yourself, what to live if you live only for yourself. If you have to live then you have to live for the country, if you have to die then you have to live for the country.
Corruption was a big issue before 2014
Friends, there is another difference between the situation before 2014 and today, which is not discussed that much. This discussion is related to the credibility of the country. The self-respect of the people of a country whose reputation is falling cannot remain high. What was the situation with India before 2014? You remember, before 2014, corruption was a big issue in every household. The credibility of the country was falling. But the then government was busy defending its scams on the basis of false arguments. The situation today is completely different. Today the government is taking strict action against corruption. We are taking account of the action taken. And the corrupt are in defensive mode by telling lies.
If the intention is right then the work is right
Then the country used to ask why agencies like ED, CBI do not take action against powerful people. This question was asked. Today powerful and corrupt people are asking why agencies are taking action against them. This difference has come in ten years. The point is the same, if the intention is right then the work is right. Action on corruption is my commitment. Friends, corruption was more in our country because government offices had become power centers instead of service centres. For every work the countrymen had to visit government offices.
Made offices service centers
We made government offices centers of service instead of power. We have tried to make government services as faceless as possible, from billing to tax collection. Today most of the government purchases are done through JAM portal. Now government tenders are online. You remember how much corruption took place in the previous government for a common facility like 2G. If 5G had come in that era then I don’t know what we would have done. Friends, in earlier times corruption used to be a very clever trick. Our government is also treating such corrupt people with technology. Today it has become easier to catch the corrupt, today both hiding the money trail and hiding the cash are becoming difficult. And that is why sometimes wads of currency notes come out from the bed and walls of a government servant’s house. Sometimes piles worth crores of rupees come out from the house of a Congress MP. Sometimes piles of notes come out from the house of a TMC MP. That’s why there is panic everywhere. They are crying and why does all this happen? The point is that if the intention is right then the work is right.
We stopped the looting of government treasury
Friends, the senior among you have also seen those days when the Prime Minister of the country had said that if I send one rupee from Delhi, 15 paisa reaches the house of the poor. That is, money was coming out of the government treasury, but it was going into someone else’s pocket. This was corruption that directly affected the common people. MNREGA money came from the government treasury, but the workers did not get wages. The gas subsidy used to reach someone else’s account. Had to pay bribe even to get his scholarship. It suited those who were in government till ten years ago, it suited their politics. But friends, we have completely stopped this looting of the government treasury.
Government money saved through direct benefit transfer
We created the trinity of Jan Dhan Aadhaar and mobile. We have transferred Rs 34 lakh crore directly to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). If the situation had been the same as before, if there was a theory of one paisa and 15 paisa, then Rs 27-28 lakh crore would never have reached the poor. Would have gone somewhere else. 27-28 lakh crores, about ten crore fake beneficiaries of different schemes, people who were never born, but were alive on paper. Became entitled to the schemes.
The flight of the world is not possible without India in the next 5 years, PM Modi said in Rising India
The country made up its mind, once again Modi government
We have removed ten crore fake names. This means, will the people taking his benefits cheer Modi? You will be surprised, we removed four crore fake ration cards. You can imagine how big a scam it was, how much rights of the poor were being violated. Today, every person sitting in the hall should remember the face of that poor person who needed ration. Who should have got ration, but was not getting it. That poor person used to curse the government, he used to curse his fate, today in our government the same poor person has got One Nation One Ration Card. Today our government is giving the entire ration to that poor person free of cost. And when that poor person blesses me, abuses erupt in the minds of the opposition. But abuses will not make any difference, the country has already made up its mind, once again Modi government.
