Manmohan Singh, who became the PM of the largest democracy in the world, India, in spite of never winning a single public election in his life, held at least 117 media interactions and press conferences:
• On foreign trips: 72
• Annual press conferences: 10
• State visit PCs: 23
• Election or Politics related: 12
While he held these press conferences --
• 25,00,00,000 people in India did not have access to electricity, to watch Mannu bhai's PC on TV!
• 100,00,00,000 people in India did not have a smartphone also to watch PCs on phone.
• 73,20,00,000 people in India did not have proper toilet access.
• 40,00,00,000+ Indian adults didn't have a bank account.
• 110,00,00,000 Indians had no medical insurance.
• 11,80,00,000 households in India had no pucca houses.
• 14,00,00,000 houses of India didn't have LPG connections.
• 15,00,00,000 house of India didn't have drinking water connections.
• 126 districts of India had Naxal or Communist terror problems.
...and much more real life problems.
And Narendra Modi solved most of these issues without holding a single press conference!!
Do you prefer a useless government that holds namesake press conferences without solving massive problems faced by the society, OR you prefer a highly performing government that gives you generational class development, without wasting time with biased journalists?
Heading to Bastar to celebrate Diwali with our brave security forces.
This is an area where Naxalism once held sway and now, development is flourishing.
I am going to salute our brave security personnel for their sacrifices, selfless service and unwavering devotion to the nation.
दीपावली के पावन अवसर पर बस्तर जा रहा हूं।
कल तक जहां नक्सलियों का कहर था वहां आज विकास की बहार है।
वीर जवानों, उनके बलिदान, त्याग और तपस्या को नमन करने जा रहा हूं।
Beautiful pictures of my Mother ❤️
Years have gone by, but her love and affection remain the same.
She lost three of her children — two in infancy and one in the prime of his life. She lost her husband too. But she took everything in her stride and made all four of us what we are today.
Happy Birthday, Maa. ❤️

This is not any AI generated visual which the ecosystem peddles to show turnout in Congress rallies.
This is Assam's Sivasagar, a small town on the Eastern Horizon who strongly came out against Congress' anarchy.

Let me ask you…
If India’s Metro network had continued expanding at the pace it did before 2014, how long would the wait be for cities like Pune to have a metro?
YEARS….no…DECADES perhaps.
And that was UNACCEPTABLE.
In 2014, India had just 248 km of Metro lines across 5 cities.
Today, we have nearly 1,200 km across 26 cities.
Over 1 crore people travel by Metro every day.
The impact goes beyond statistics or numbers.
It means less time in traffic, more family time, greater productivity and better opportunities.
This is the transformation we are working towards for urban India!
The massive crowds overflowing the streets of Hyderabad have spoken in one united voice that no matter how hard the Congress tries to peddles propaganda and rumours our democracy remains unshakeable.

We all know how @INCIndia has used Banks and financial institutions as personal entities and pressured bank employees to extend loans at their whim, bypassing prudent lending norms.
Let me list a few instances.
- In 1957, Haridas Mundra got money from LIC due to influence by the Congress leaders.
- In 1976, Indira Gandhi's government removed SBI Chairman R.K. Talwar after he refused political pressure to relax lending conditions for a company linked to Sanjay Gandhi's circle.
- Sanjay Gandhi pressured the Central Bank of India over loans to Maruti.
- B. Janardhana Poojary, MoS Finance under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi — pressured bank employees to issue loans in the 1980s.
- Pawan Kumar Bansal, as a minister in the UPA, pressured Canara Bank to give loans to his family-linked businesses.
The IDBI Bank was handed over to us in poor shape, as IDBI itself was forced to lend to large business groups with close connections to @INCIndia leaders such as Videocon, Winsome, ABG Shipyard, Kingfisher, etc. These turned into bad loans, causing huge losses for IDBI Bank, which we recognised.
The NDA govt led by Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi revived the IDBI bank through professionalism, prudence and recapitalisation of more than Rs 25,000 crores. The IDBI Bank is now poised for its next phase of growth.
All due process has been followed in the IDBI Bank strategic restructuring, and we have already clarified this yesterday.

Many more instances of blatant scams and economic mismanagement have been covered in the White Paper on the Indian Economy released in February 2024. It remains relevant even now.

Your lies with respect to Rafale had failed and were exposed. You had to apologise. The same will happen here.
Congress-era banking had a phonebook for the powerful and a rulebook for the common citizens.
The era of 'connection and setting banking' is over.
Common people now have easy access to loans, and employees are not under pressure to extend loans over the phone calls.
