People will ‘break all barriers’ in 2024 elections: PM Modi
11/5/2023 10:55:48 PM

Agencies

New Delhi, Nov 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said people will "break all barriers" to support the BJP in the 2024 general elections and asserted that his government has broken many real, perceived and exaggerated barriers to lay the foundation for building a developed India. He also said dynastic rule and nepotism had been the "real barrier" for India and with his government bringing about a change and in the past few years, the common person feels empowered and encouraged.
Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit here, Modi referred to the theme of the event - 'Beyond Barriers' - and said it has given a clear indication that in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, people will support the ruling BJP "breaking all barriers".
"The 2024 election results will be beyond barriers," he said. The media group's theme of its 2047 summit will be "Developed Nation: What Next", he said in a lighter vein in reference to his government's call for making the country developed by the centenary of its independence.
Referring to the themes of the summit over the years and his government's work, Modi said the journey from "Reshaping India" to "Beyond Barriers" has laid down the foundation of a bright future.
"On this foundation, a developed, grand and prosperous India will be built," he asserted.
In his address, Modi also pointed out that in just five years, 13 crore people have been lifted out of poverty and stressed that "poverty cannot be fought by slogans but by solutions".
He cited a host of development measures taken by his government to highlight the changes, asserting that India's growing middle class and reducing poverty are forming the basis of a massive economic cycle.
“The aspirations and willpower of the middle class and the poor is giving strength to the country's development. This strength has made India the fifth largest economy in the world from the 10 largest and this willpower in our third term, is going to make India the third largest economy in the world," Modi said.
The neo-middle class is giving momentum to the consumption growth of the country, he said. Citing data, he said the number of those filing income tax returns has almost doubled in 2023 to 7.5 crore in 10 years. He informed that a study related to Tax Information shows that the mean income, which was less than Rs 4.5 lakh in 2014, has increased to Rs 13 lakh in 2023, and as a result, lakhs of people are moving from lower income groups to higher income groups.
The length of highways being built daily has risen to 30 km from 12 km while the number of operational airports has more than doubled to almost 150 from 70. The PM said more than 40,000 km of rail track has been doubled by his government against only 20,000 km done till 2014.
Such a sea change has taken place, Modi said.
He also said a lot of fear-mongering used to be done about the impact of Article 370 removal but his government opened the doors to development and peace in Jammu and Kashmir by removing it.
Terrorism is ending there and tourism rising, Modi said, underlining that his government has committed to the region reaching new heights of development.
"Pictures of Lal Chowk have shown how Jammu & Kashmir is changing. Today, terrorism is coming to an end in the Union Territory and tourism is growing continuously. We are committed to taking Jammu and Kashmir to new heights," he said.
He also talked about various barriers the country faced over the years and how his government worked to overcome them after coming to power in 2024.
"For a long time, we had to face several barriers. Attacks and colonialism had tied us in barriers. The independence movement had broken several barriers. After the Independence, it was hoped the momentum would be carried on, but this didn't happen. We couldn't grow to our potential," Modi said.
He also said India is breaking barriers to reach new heights - be it in start-up, mobile manufacturing and digital transactions.
"A big barrier was the mental barrier. Some barriers were real, some perceived and some exaggerated. From 2014, India has been working hard to break these barriers," the prime minister said.
Hailing Chandrayaan-3 and other successes, the prime minister said India will not stop but keep marching forward.
"The biggest barrier was mindset. There were mental barriers and because of this the kind of things we used to listen to were -- 'nothing will change, corruption will continue'," he said, adding that his government had worked to change such thinking and mindset.
He cited the examples of cleanliness becoming a people's movement and Khadi gaining popularity under his government.
Modi said many people had doubted his government's Jan Dhan account scheme. However, the scheme was successful in instilling a new confidence among the poor people who used to think that banks were exclusively meant for the rich.
He also touched upon the wide use of RuPay cards becoming a source of empowerment for the poor.
"Those who sit in AC rooms and are driven by numbers and narrative can never understand the psychological empowerment of the poor," the prime minister said.
Throwing light on the change of mindset outside India's borders, Modi mentioned India's growing ability to defend itself during acts of terrorism, leading climate action resolutions and achieving the desired results before the deadline.
The prime minister also highlighted India's stellar performances in the field of sports and credited the change in mindset for this achievement.
He said the mindset of looking at sportspersons has also changed as earlier people used to raise questions about their future and careers.
"Governments let sportspersons fend for themselves, we changed the mindset and medals are raining now," he said.
"We not only changed people's lives but also helped the poor to come out of poverty," Modi asserted.
In just five years, 13 crore people have come out of poverty, he added.
In his remarks, Modi said the "real barrier" before India had been of "dynastic rule" and "nepotism".
The mindset was that only those known to any prominent family or influential people would get ahead, Modi said.
