PM Modi Rejects Caste Discrimination, Bats For Social Equality

Hoshiarpur (Punjab): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday underscored his government’s efforts to eliminate caste discrimination and promote social equality.
“Guru Ravidas Ji wanted a society without discrimination based on caste. Today, the benefits of the Modi government’s schemes are reaching everyone without discrimination,” he said, listing achievements such as providing concrete houses, gas connections, toilets, and electricity connections to all sections of society.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” which he described as a guiding philosophy for his administration.
Addressing his last election rally of the ongoing Lok Sabha polls here, he paid homage to the sacred land of Guru Ravidas Ji and emphasised his government’s commitment towards development and heritage preservation.
Highlighting the progress India has made under his leadership, he expressed confidence in the country’s future. “Today the country has new aspirations, new hopes, new confidence. After decades, a majority central government is going to score a hat-trick,” he said.
Emphasising the dream of a developed India, he noted, “Every Indian is connected with this dream, and that’s why they are blessing us.”
Modi reiterated his commitment to transforming India in the 21st century, citing the “unprecedented” development of the past decade.
“When people from Punjab and other states go abroad, they see for themselves how much respect for India and Indians has increased,” he stated, attributing this respect to the strength of a stable government.
Modi highlighted his government’s initiatives to honour the heritage of Guru Ravidas Ji.
“In Madhya Pradesh, I laid the foundation stone of a grand memorial to Guru Ravidas Ji. Facilities are being increased at Guru Ravidas Ji’s birthplace in Kashi. Even in Delhi, there is a holy place of Guru Ravidas Ji Maharaj in Tughlakabad,” he announced.
He also expressed his desire to name the Adampur airport after Guru Ravidas Ji, promising swift action once the new government is formed.
