Shri Rajnath Singh advised Shri Anil to touch his father's feet before casting his vote on election day as a mark of respect and reverence. Shri Singh emphasized the visionary ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party, stating that it is the only party in the country with such a perspective. Shri Singh highlighted the aspirations of India's youth, who desire the progress and advancement of the BJP. Only the BJP can elevate India's standing on the global stage under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Shri Rajnath Singh also highlighted the achievements of the BJP-led NDA government in enhancing India's global stature over the past decade. Shri Rajnath Singh emphasized the transformation India has undergone under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. He noted that previously, India wasn't taken seriously on the global stage, but today, due to PM Shri Modi's successful leadership, other countries pay heed to India's voice. Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted India's economic progress, noting that it has risen from being the 11th largest economy to the fifth largest globally. He also cited financial projections estimating India to become the third-largest economy by 2027.

In contrast, Shri Rajnath Singh pointed out that numerous Congress ministers have been accused of corruption and even imprisoned.
Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted the statement of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi regarding corruption, where only 14 paise out of 100 reached the people and the rest 86 paise lost to corruption. Shri Rajnath Singh credited Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for considering this challenge seriously and implementing measures to tackle it. Shri Singh pointed out that the Modi government established a robust ecosystem comprising Jan Dhan accounts, Aadhar cards, and mobile connectivity, ensuring that the entire amount reaches the intended beneficiaries.

Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted India's rapid progress in digital transformation, noting that it is the only country where such advancements have occurred swiftly.

Shri Singh also pointed out that India leads globally in digital transactions, with 46 percent of the world's transactions conducted through UPI within the country alone. Previously, India relied on imports for 92 percent of its mobile phones. However, today, not only is India manufacturing mobile phones domestically, but it is also exporting 92 percent of them to various countries worldwide. The Bharatiya Janata Party stands out as one of the most trustworthy political parties globally. It has a track record of fulfilling the promises outlined in its manifesto. BJP pledged to revoke Article 370 and grant Union Territory status to Jammu and Kashmir, a commitment it successfully fulfilled.
Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh affirmed that the BJP made a commitment to enact the Citizenship Amendment Act, and it fulfilled that promise. Despite attempts by Congress and CPM members to sow confusion about this law, it's important to clarify that the Citizenship Amendment Act does not revoke anyone's citizenship; rather, it extends citizenship to certain eligible individuals. The BJP government has always remained committed to the construction of the Ram Mandir. Fulfilling its promise, the BJP has constructed the grand Ram Mandir, and we have witnessed the sacred 'Pran Pratishtha' of Ram Lalla along with the inauguration of this historic Mandir. Unlike parties that discriminate based on caste, religion, or creed, the Bharatiya Janata Party focuses on nation-building rather than mere political gains.

It is under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi that significant strides have been made towards uplifting 25 crore people out of poverty. Shri Rajnath Singh emphasized that the political opponents of the BJP currently lack substantial issues, which is why they resort to accusing the BJP of religious discrimination. Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted that five Arab Muslim countries have bestowed their highest honors upon respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Shri Rajnath Singh reiterated that the BJP's political ethos is not founded on religious discrimination but on principles of justice and equality for all.
Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted India's remarkable achievements in space exploration, including the successful Mars mission with Mangalyaan and the historic landing of a lander on the south pole of the Moon. Shri Rajnath Singh also mentioned the BJP's plans to launch the ambitious Gaganyaan mission within the next five years.

Shri Rajnath Singh criticized Rahul Gandhi's decision to contest from Wayanad, suggesting that even the people of Wayanad have decided not to elect him as their MP. He highlighted the alleged collusion between the Congress and Left parties in Kerala and accused them of working together to deceive the public. Shri Rajnath Singh also mentioned corruption allegations against the Kerala government, including the cooperative bank scam, and assured the public that if NDA candidates are elected by double digits, the Central Government will investigate these allegations thoroughly.
Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted the long-standing absence of Congress and Communist parties in certain states, emphasizing their inability to regain power once voted out. He pointed out that Congress hasn't won elections in Tamil Nadu since 1962 and has been out of power in states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, and Odisha for decades. Shri Singh noted that Congress doesn't have a single MP in many states across the country, underscoring its diminishing presence in various regions. Shri Rajnath Singh pointed out the diminishing influence of the Left Parties in states like Tripura and West Bengal, attributing it to the public's realization that Congress and Left parties are unable to address public interests effectively. He highlighted the anti-national stance of the Left and Congress, citing Congress's demand for proof of surgical and air strikes from the army.
Shri Singh contrasted Kerala's rich culture and open-minded people with the outdated ideologies of Congress and the LDF, suggesting that these parties are out of touch with the progressive mindset of the state's populace. Shri Rajnath Singh criticized the Congress for clinging to outdated 19th-century ideologies, emphasizing that even the birthplace of leftist ideas has moved away from leftism. He accused the Congress of being anti-OBC, highlighting its opposition to granting constitutional status to the Backward Classes Commission. Singh asserted that during the BJP's tenure over the last decade, significant efforts have been made to address the needs of all sections of society.
Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted India's growing stature on the global stage by citing examples such as the successful evacuation of nurses from Iraq during the war and the safe return of Indian students stranded in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He credited these accomplishments to the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, showcasing India's ability to effectively handle crises and protect its citizens abroad. Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted a significant moment in Kerala's political landscape, where the Supreme Court held the state government responsible for the financial crisis rather than the Bharatiya Janata Party. He urged the public to support the BJP, emphasizing that political analysts also predict a strong performance by the party in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Kerala, potentially securing double-digit victories. Shri Rajnath Singh emphasized the capabilities and potential of Lok Sabha candidate Shri Anil Antony, stating that the BJP recognized and respected him upon joining the party.
