Congress Spreading Fear When Nation Needs Unity: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public event in Vav-Tharad, Gujarat, where he highlighted India’s steady position despite ongoing global uncertainties and took aim at the Congress for its political conduct.

Referring to tensions in West Asia, the Prime Minister spoke about their impact on global energy supply chains.

“We can see how many countries are facing uncertainty and instability due to the war. The impact is felt everywhere due to challenges in global energy flow. Diesel, petrol, and gas problems exist in many countries. However, India has controlled the circumstances, thanks to successful foreign policy and the unity of our people,” he said.

PM Narendra Modi contrasted India’s approach with that of the Congress and accused the party of prioritising politics over national interest.

“Unfortunately, some political leaders are still playing politics. In this, Congress is at the forefront. Today, when the country needs unity, they are dividing it. When assurance is required, they are spreading fear and rumours. When patience is needed, they are provoking. Like political vultures, they wait for turmoil in the country to gain electoral benefit,” he said.

Highlighting the rise in fuel costs globally, the Prime Minister noted the widespread impact across nations.

“India is not letting its citizens be affected. Congress cannot see that. They are spreading rumours continuously and trying to make people stand in queues to take electoral advantage,” he added.

PM Narendra Modi also expressed satisfaction after landing at the Deesa Airbase for the first time.

“This airbase is just 130 kilometres from the international boundary and is vital for national security,” he said.

Project Delays Under Previous Governments

PM Modi recalled that the idea for the project originated during his tenure as Gujarat’s Chief Minister, but faced delays under earlier governments.

“Those who ruled in Delhi don’t know what hatred they had for Gujarat. They stalled the project for years, leaving files pending. When you sent me to Delhi, I got out those files, and as a result, Deesa now has an Air Force base,” PM Modi said.

PM Narendra Modi also referred to India’s growing global stature while mentioning an international event held in the capital.

“As you all have seen in the Global AI Summit in New Delhi, many invited guest countries were here, and India was getting praised, but Congress people tore their clothes. They tried to ruin the image of India. Congress is speaking like those powers speaking against India. We have to remain united, as we did during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

He concluded by inaugurating projects worth over ₹19,800 crore and emphasised the need for unity as the country progresses through global and domestic challenges.
