PM Modi Modi Rallies Nation For People-Powered Development After Operation Sindoor

Gandhinagar: “Now, Operation Sindoor will move forward with public force, not just military might.”

With these powerful words, Prime Minister Narendra Modi electrified a crowd of thousands at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar on Tuesday. Following a two-and-a-half-kilometre roadshow through the city, Modi took the stage to deliver a speech that doubled as a manifesto for a self-reliant India, and a declaration of economic war against dependency on foreign products.

“Every person should become a stakeholder in India’s development. If we want India to become the third-largest economy, we must stop buying foreign goods and embrace indigenous products,” the Prime Minister declared during the inauguration and foundation-laying ceremony of development projects worth ₹5,536 crore.

This statement came days after the covert precision strikes of Operation Sindoor, launched on the night of May 6, which PM Modi referenced with pride. “All the strikes were conducted in front of the camera. No one will dare to ask for proof this time,” he added with a jab at critics of previous operations.

The Prime Minister’s address was not only military in tone but deeply patriotic, urging the crowd to participate in economic nationalism. “Sell local, be vocal. One District, One Product should become our mission,” he proclaimed, reiterating the core philosophy behind Atmanirbhar Bharat.

PM Modi Recalls The Condition Of India 25 Years Ago

Recalling the condition of India 25 years ago, PM Modi pointed out the shift in perception: “Earlier, people from abroad would ask for a list of what to bring to India. Today, they ask what we need, and we proudly reply – everything is available here.”

“Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai”: National Resolve for Development

Taking a dig at inertia in bureaucratic and political circles, PM Modi said, “Now, the country will not wait. If someone asks us to wait, a voice will roar—’Modi is there, it is possible’.”

Highlighting India’s progress from the fourth-largest economy aiming to reach number three, the PM emphasized the need for strategic economic decisions, hard work, and unity. “We must study, work smartly and move forward,” he advised, underscoring development as the nation’s central agenda.

He touched upon the historical negligence in Jammu and Kashmir, citing the Indus Water Treaty of 1960, under which crucial dam silt cleaning operations were suspended for decades. “Gates weren’t opened for 60 years. We’ve opened just a few, and Pakistan is already sweating from the floods,” he remarked sharply.

Cultural and Developmental Legacy: Kankaria to GIFT City

Modi reflected on Gujarat’s transformation under his leadership, sharing anecdotes of how his early developmental efforts were met with resistance. “When I rebuilt Kankaria, Congress took it to court. Today, it is a hub for all sections of society,” he said.

He cited the Atal Bridge as another project that faced opposition but ultimately won public approval and contributed to electoral victory. “Development is never anti-social,” he stated pointedly.

On economic infrastructure, the Prime Minister recalled how people laughed when the GIFT City masterplan was unveiled. “Now every state wants its own GIFT City,” he said, highlighting the power of vision and execution.

Reclaiming Heritage, Boosting Tourism

PM Modi also unveiled plans to establish a museum in Lothal, emphasizing the need to preserve India’s ancient maritime and cultural heritage. “Vadnagar gave us 2800-year-old evidence. Lothal will tell the story of 5000 years. We played drums before anyone else in the world did,” he said with pride.

He pointed to the success of tourism projects such as the Statue of Unity and the Rann of Kutch, urging more development to attract foreign visitors and showcase India’s rich civilizational history.

A Roaring Call to Unite and Build the Nation

From Operation Sindoor to economic self-reliance, Gujarat’s development to India’s ancient roots, PM Modi’s address in Gandhinagar was a multi-layered call to action. With a tone that was equal parts strategic, emotional, and resolute, the Prime Minister laid out his vision for India@2047, urging every citizen to participate in shaping the nation’s destiny.
