"The entire country waits for the BJP's 'Sankalp Patra'. There is a big reason behind it as in the last 10 years, the BJP has implemented every point of its manifesto as a guarantee on the ground. This 'Sankalp Patra' empowers all the 4 strong pillars of developed India- Youth, women, poor and farmers," he said at the event.
PM Modi promised all people above 75 will be brought within the purview of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana. "The biggest concern of the elderly is how they will afford treatment of their ailments. This concern is even more serious for the middle class.

PM Modi said it is his guarantee that the free ration scheme will continue for the next five years.

Today the work of the Ahmedabad Mumbai bullet train is going on in full swing and is almost reaching completion. In the same way, one bullet train will run in north India, one Bullet train in south India and one bullet Train in eastern India. Survey work for this will also be started soon," he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also touched upon simultaneous elections. "We will move forward with a resolve to realise the idea of One Nation, One Election. BJP also considers the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) equally necessary in the interest of the country," he said. PM Modi said the party will focus on enhancing India's infrastructure. "BJP is goingto strengthen the foundation of India of the 21st century through three kinds of infrastructure - 1) social infrastructure, 2) digital infrastructure, 3) physical infrastructure. We are opening new educational institutions for social infrastructure...Under physical infrastructure, we are modernising highways, railways, airways, and waterways across the country. Under digital infrastructure, we are expanding the 5G network, working on 6G and keeping Industry 4.0 in mind we are building the digital infrastructure," he said.
