At the closing ceremony of the Sansad Sports Mahotsav on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a special appeal to all the parents. PM Modi said that the irregularities in the sports department and team selection before 2014 have now ended. Now children from poor families are also reaching the top level on the basis of hard work and talent.

On the occasion of ‘Sansad Khel Mahotsav’ organized to promote sports culture and leadership abilities among the youth, PM Modi said that the participation of people from every background in the festival, from cities to villages, shows how big its scope and impact is.

The Prime Minister said, “This Mahotsav is becoming a strong pillar of the mantra of nation building through youth development. The country is getting thousands of talented players from the Sansad Sports Mahotsav. Apart from winning and losing, the sportsmanship that is learned from sports is what creates capable and disciplined youth. Only such youth create the future of the nation. This Mahotsav is also playing an important role in changing the mindset of the society.”

Life is not ruined by playing – PM Modi

Prime Minister Modi further said, ,There are so many examples coming from remote areas of the country, which inspire the entire country. Somewhere a disabled player is touching the heights by making the challenges small, somewhere on the field a daughter is busy fulfilling her dreams and the Sansad Sports Mahotsav is giving such players a chance to showcase their talent.,

He said that the change within a decade in the society which scolded the children for playing earlier became possible because now the parents have realized that playing does not ruin the life but rather the children can change the fate of not only their family but also the entire village and society by taking up sports.

PM Modi also mentioned the centuries of Vijay Hazare Trophy

Prime Minister Modi said, ,Before 2014, irregularities in the sports department, team selection and infrastructure in the name of sports had stopped. Children from poor families can also reach the top at an early age. Yesterday fifteen to twenty year old youth scored a century on the playground, some in 32 balls, some in 40 balls. This is their strength. We are giving more and more platforms to our youth to play. Talents are being identified through Khelo India’s various sports and Sansad Khel Mahotsav. World class sports facilities are being built even in tier two and three cities of our country.,

Vande Mataram Debate: Discussion regarding Vande Mataram has started in Lok Sabha. Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the discussion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in the Lok Sabha that ‘Countless of our freedom fighters embraced the gallows while raising the slogan of Vande Mataram.’ He further said that ‘This happened in different jails but everyone’s mantra was the same, Vande Mataram.’ Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi also mentioned the newspapers which were started during the freedom struggle and their name was Vande Mataram. Let us know who started these newspapers during the freedom struggle about which PM Modi talked in Parliament.

Vande Mataram newspaper started in the freedom movement

The name Vande Mataram was so powerful and inspiring that it appeared in slogans as well as in the press. The press was one of the strongest weapons against British rule at that time. Many nationalist leaders started newspapers with the same name to raise public awareness and challenge colonial policies.

Bipin Chandra Pal started the first Bande Mataram newspaper

In August 1906, nationalist leader Bipin Chandrapal started an English weekly newspaper named ‘Bande Mataram’ from Kolkata. His simple objective was to arouse national pride, promote Swadeshi and also to convey the political aspirations of Indians to the English-speaking section of the society. Bipin Chandra Pal’s publications soon became an intellectual weapon.

Maharshi Aurobindo Ghosh took over the post of editor

Soon after the launch of the newspaper, Sri Aurobindo Ghosh took over the post of editor of Bande Mataram. He transformed this newspaper from a weekly to a daily and made this newspaper the most influential voice of the extremist group within the Congress. Aurobindo’s editorials were passionate and unapologetically nationalist. The British government considered Akbar so dangerous that it was directly cited as a reason behind strict laws like the Press Act of 1910. This act was created to suppress revolutionary ideas.

Bhikaji Cama started Vande Mataram newspaper from Paris

Madam Bhikaji Cama started publishing a nationalist newspaper named Vande Mataram from Paris in 1909. The objective of this newspaper was to promote nationalism and anti-British sentiments in India. For this, Madam Bhikaji Cama established the Paris Indian Society in Paris and started publishing this newspaper through it. This newspaper was started in response to the British ban.

Describing the ‘double engine government of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’ as necessary for the progress of Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (November 03, 2025) accused the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)-Congress alliance of indulging in the politics of corruption and appeasement.

Addressing an election rally in Katihar, the Prime Minister said, ‘Your one vote will make Bihar prosperous. Once again, good governance government in Bihar. Targeting Congress and RJD, Modi said, ‘RJD has made Congress leaders ‘dwarfs’. Even the pictures of Congress leaders are missing on RJD posters. There is internal strife going on in both the parties.

‘Congress insulted Chhathi Maiya to make RJD win’

The Prime Minister said that the famous leader of Congress insulted Chhathi Maiya to make RJD win. Not only this, Kerala Congress leaders compared the people of Bihar to ‘beedi’, this is very shameful. The governments of Congress ruled states or its allies have failed to provide permanent houses to the poor. It is the double engine NDA government that is showing the path of development. We have started ‘Drone Didi’ scheme for the empowerment of women in Bihar.

Taking aim at his political rivals, Modi said, ‘One is the most corrupt family of the state and the other is the most corrupt family of the country. Both of them together loot the money meant for the poor. Modi alleged that attempts were made to bring about demographic change in districts like Araria, Kishanganj, Purnia and Katihar.

‘Grand alliance wants to give free ration to infiltrators’

He said, ‘They (RJD-Congress) want that free ration should be given to the infiltrators and not to the original residents of Bihar. We will not allow infiltrators to capture the resources of Bihar and the country. Congress and RJD are ‘hard and fundamentalist’. This is why they opposed the Triple Talaq law and are now talking about abolishing the Waqf Act, because they have surrendered to fundamentalism.

The Prime Minister said, ‘Katihar was once considered a punishment posting for government employees. Earlier it was a backward district, but our government has made it an aspirational district. Earlier, in the election meeting in Saharsa, the Prime Minister made a scathing attack on the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress and said, ‘National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is the symbol of development, while RJD-Congress are the symbol of destruction.’

Good governance government will be formed again in Bihar

Modi said, ‘New and first-time voters should vote for the bright future of Bihar. NDA government will be formed with the votes of the youth who voted for the first time and Jungle Raj will be defeated. Bihar is moving rapidly on the path of development, this pace should not stop. Once again a government of good governance will be formed in Bihar. He said that the aspirations of the youth will be fulfilled and it is our resolve that the youth of Bihar get employment in Bihar itself.

Congratulating the Indian women’s cricket team for its historic victory, the Prime Minister said, ‘We should respect our daughters. This victory is a symbol of the confidence of our daughters. He said that today there are about 87 lakh startups in the country in which women are heads or partners.

PM Modi’s message to the daughters of Bihar

Taking aim at the opposition, Modi said, ‘Some people do not respect our daughters. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, our government ensured that most of the pucca houses are given in the name of women. He called upon the women and daughters of Bihar to be cautious of the jungle raj people who want to close these facilities.

The Prime Minister said that the people of Bihar had rejected RJD in the 2005 assembly elections, but after the defeat, they decided to take revenge from the people. He alleged, ‘The then United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government had stopped the development of Bihar. Now the public should teach them a lesson.

NDA worked for permanent solution to floods

Modi said that his government restarted development works in Bihar and released adequate funds from the Centre. In the same sequence, he said, ‘The country’s longest bridge is being built on Kosi river. Congress and RJD never realized the pain of Kosi region. Our government has started work for a permanent solution to floods.

The Prime Minister said that the government has constituted ‘Makhana Board’ so that the makhana of this region reaches international markets. Taking a dig at the opposition, the Prime Minister said, ‘In the dictionary of RJD and Congress, there is only ‘Katta’, cruelty, corruption and misgovernance. He has learned all this in ‘Jungleraj Ki Pathshala’.

Police was also unsafe during RJD rule

He reminded that even the police was not safe during the RJD rule. Saharsa DSP Satyapal was murdered only because he had taken action against law breakers. He said, ‘At that time there used to be murders of contractors and there was a market for crime and kidnapping.’

Modi said that today work is being done on roads, airports and big infrastructure projects in Bihar, but RJD and Congress do not like all this. The Prime Minister said that soon the manufacturing of electric vehicles and mobile phones will start in Bihar, due to which this region will become a big center of ‘Make in India’.

PM Modi called Congress-RJD an alliance of compulsion

Referring to Nalanda University, Modi said that the Congress government had given only Rs 20 crore for its redevelopment, whereas we spent Rs 2,000 crore and today students from 21 countries are studying in Nalanda University.

Modi said that Congress never considered the RJD leader as the chief ministerial candidate, but now they are contesting the elections under his leadership. He called it an alliance of compulsion. He said, ‘I urge all the people who have come to perform Chhath Puja to return to their places of work only after voting. The future of Bihar will be decided by your vote.

PM Modi spoke about opposition’s foreign travel

Modi said, ‘We are re-establishing the lost glory of Bihar, but Congress and RJD want to protect the infiltrators. It is necessary to save Bihar from infiltrators. Accusing the opposition of religious insensitivity, he said, ‘The ‘royal families’ of RJD and Congress celebrate foreign festivals, but call Chhath Puja as ‘drama’. He also has a problem with Lord Ram. He travels abroad, but is unable to find time to visit Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Message of unity beyond religious meaning

Prime Minister Modi’s mention of these cities was not only in the religious context. Sapt Puriyas also symbolize the cultural and geographical diversity of India. From north to south and from east to west, it shows that India’s spiritual journey is linked to a single spirit. Every Puri gives a message. It shows that religion is not just worship but also a balanced way of living. Sapt Puriyas are the living history of the soul of India.

Each of these cities teaches that salvation can be found not only after death, but also in the practice of truth, love, asceticism and knowledge. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned these today, it was like a reminder that India’s unity does not lie in its geographical boundaries, but in the shared experiences of its faith and tradition.
