Dhar, Madhya Pradesh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked his birthday on Tuesday with a mega rally, where he launched welfare schemes, inaugurated a large textile project, and delivered a fiery address on national security.
Modi inaugurated the PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park, spread across more than 2,150 acres. The industrial township will feature a Common Effluent Treatment Plant, a solar power plant, and modern road infrastructure. The project is expected to boost the textile sector and benefit local cotton growers.
As part of the birthday celebrations, the Bharatiya Janata Party launched a ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ with blood donation camps and welfare drives across BJP-ruled states. PM Modi turns 75 today.
Addressing women, Modi launched the Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar campaign. “Today, I have come here to demand something from my mothers and sisters… All I ask is that all of you should attend these camps without any hesitation… All the tests in these camps are free of cost. There would be no fee. Tests and medicines would be free… State treasury is not more important than your health… And the Ayushman Card will assist you with further treatments,” he said.
He also transferred funds under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana to women beneficiaries, unveiled the Suman Sakhi Chatbot to spread awareness on maternal and child health, and launched the 8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah.
On Hyderabad Liberation Day, Modi said: “Today, September 17, is another historic day. On this day, the nation saw the iron-strong will of Sardar Patel. The Indian army liberated Hyderabad and protected its rights. Decades passed, but no one celebrated this achievement. But our government made this event immortal.”
He also praised India’s armed forces: “Pakistani terrorists removed the Sindoor of our sisters and daughters. We did Operation Sindoor and destroyed terror camps. Our brave armed forces brought Pakistan to its knees within the blink of an eye… This is a new India. It fears no one’s nuclear threats.”
