 Varanasi, 02 August: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday called upon the countrymen to adopt ‘Swadeshi’ in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
He said that every new item that comes to our homes should be indigenous and every Indian should fulfill this responsibility. He said that we will buy only those things which are made by Indians. We need to be vocal for local.
Prime Minister Modi reached his parliamentary constituency Varanasi for the 51st time on Saturday and inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 52 development projects worth Rs 2,183.45 crore. He also released the 20th installment of Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi.
Addressing the gathering present on this occasion, the Prime Minister said that it is the month of Sawan, a holy place like Kashi and getting the privilege of meeting the farmers, what can be bigger than this. The Prime Minister dedicated Operation Sindoor at the feet of Baba Vishwanath. He said that every point of unity of the country awakens a new consciousness and only then Operation Sindoor is successful. The unity of 140 crore countrymen becomes the strength of Operation Sindoor.
The Prime Minister said that I had promised my daughters, it has been fulfilled. The success of Operation Sindoor was possible with the blessings of Mahadev.
Prime Minister gave a clear message to the enemies of the country and terrorists that those who attack India will not get a place even in the netherworld. Taking a dig at the Congress and other opposition parties, he said that some people are upset with the success of “Operation Sindoor”. This Congress party and its followers are not able to digest the fact that India has destroyed the hideouts of terrorists. I want to ask our Indians whether you are proud of the success of Operation Sindoor or not. Congress has called “Operation Sindoor” a ‘tamasha’, you tell me can ‘Sindoor’ ever be a ‘tamasha’. Can anyone call Sindoor a tamasha, someone tell me should we wait to kill terrorists too.
He said that this new India worships Bholenath and when the time comes, it also becomes Kalbhairav in front of the enemies. He said that you must have seen the pictures of how Indian drones and missiles made precise attacks and turned the terror headquarters into ruins. Even today, many air bases of Pakistan are in ICU.
Prime Minister urged the countrymen and traders to adopt indigenous products. He said that India is going to become the third largest economy of the world and that is why India has to be vigilant about its economic interests. Our government is making every possible effort in the best interest of the country. Those who want the good of the country and want to see India as the third largest economy of the world, be it any political party, should forget their differences and take a pledge towards indigenous products. We will buy only those things which are made by Indians. We need to become vocal for local.
The Prime Minister defined Swadeshi as a product made from the sweat and hard work of any Indian and called upon the countrymen to adopt the mantra of “Vocal for Local”. The Prime Minister urged the citizens to take a pledge to promote “Make in India” products. He said that every new item that comes to our homes should be indigenous and every Indian should fulfill this responsibility. He appealed to every trader and shopkeeper to take a pledge to sell only indigenous products, saying that this would be the true service of the nation.
Prime Minister Modi said that the world saw the power of India’s indigenous weapons during Operation Sindoor. Our air defense systems, missiles and drones have proved the strength of ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’. Especially the Brahmos missiles. Brahmos missiles will now be manufactured in Lucknow. If Pakistan commits any sin again, the missiles made in UP will destroy the terrorists. Many major defense companies are setting up their manufacturing plants in the UP Defense Corridor. Weapons made in India will soon become the strength of our forces. If UP is developing today, then the policies of the BJP government are behind it. 20th installment to farmers.
Prime Minister Modi, while referring to the 20th installment of the Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, said that so far an amount of about Rs 3.75 lakh crore has been sent to farmers across the country. He said that the farmers of Kashi have received an honorarium of Rs 900 crore under this scheme.
Prime Minister Modi said that so far 55 crore Jan Dhan accounts have been opened in the country and now the KYC campaign is being run rapidly. The Prime Minister said that our objective is that the more backward the person is, the more priority he gets. I am going to create three lakh crore Lakhpati Didi. On hearing this figure, the SP (Samajwadi Party) people will run away with their cycles.
He said that accounts of 55 crore people were opened, who had never seen a bank. Now this scheme has completed 10 years. Now the bank has a rule that it is necessary to do the KYC of the bank. I have told the bank people that people should come to the bank and get their KYC done, which is a good thing, but the bank should run a campaign for this.
