**Panvel, Maharashtra (November 14, 2024):** Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a large gathering in Panvel, Raigad district, on Thursday, highlighting his government’s achievements and promising further development for the region ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections. He emphasized the BJP-led Mahayuti’s commitment to progress and prosperity, contrasting it with the Congress party’s “false slogans” and history of “looting the poor.”

“This gathering is a guarantee of what the results are going to be on November 23,” Modi declared, drawing a parallel between the large crowd and the “waves of saffron” that represent the BJP’s dominance in the state.

Modi detailed various initiatives undertaken by his government, including the provision of pucca houses to four crore homeless people, toilets to 12 crore poor families, and water taps to 12 crore homes through the Jal Jeevan Mission. He highlighted the benefits of the Mudra Yojana scheme and the ‘Ladki Bahin Yojana’ for women, emphasizing the government’s focus on empowering them.

“The Congress is the enemy of the poor,” he alleged, criticizing the party’s policies and questioning their commitment to the welfare of marginalized communities.

Modi also showcased the Mahayuti government’s infrastructure projects in Raigad, including the Atal Setu, Navi Mumbai airport, Vadhavan Port, Samruddhi Mahamarg, and Panvel-Karjat railway track, which he said have transformed the region. He highlighted the development of Taloja as a major data center hub and the emergence of Panvel-Raigad as a futuristic center for data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), promising lakhs of job opportunities.

He further addressed the needs of the fishing community, emphasizing the Mahayuti government’s efforts to strengthen the coastal economy through modern boats and navigation methods, the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana, and the integration of fish-rearing farmers with the Kisan Credit Card scheme.

Prime Minister Modi’s speech focused on highlighting the BJP’s track record of development and outlining their vision for the future of Raigad district, aiming to solidify their position ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections.
