Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Friday during a public address in Gujarat that he will dedicate himself to serving the people of India until his final moments. This comment followed a recent remark by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. During his visit to Bhildi in the Banaskantha district, Mr. Modi inaugurated the new cattle breeding and research facility and launched multiple local development initiatives valued at fourteen thousand crore rupees.

Opposition Criticism

Speaking to the assembled crowd, the Prime Minister accused political opponents of spreading false stories about cooking gas and crop nutrient shortages after the recent conflict in West Asia to tarnish his image. He noted that while international market rates for urea have surged to three thousand rupees per bag, domestic farmers continue to receive it for under three hundred rupees, and di-ammonium phosphate remains priced at thirteen hundred and fifty rupees instead of five thousand rupees.

Welfare Schemes

According to Hindustan Times, the Prime Minister also released the twenty-fourth instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme and noted that nearly four and a half lakh crore rupees have been transferred directly to small farmers under this programme. He marked twenty-five years since taking his first oath as Gujarat Chief Minister in October 2001, thanking local residents for their continued support.

Context

Prime Minister Modi frequently highlights welfare spending and agricultural subsidies during public rallies to connect directly with rural voters. Such addresses often combine local project inaugurations with political messaging directed at national opposition parties.
