Prime Minister addressed a rally at Ujire in Karnataka. Here are the highlights of his speech:
- I am happy that I got the opportunity to pray to Lord Manjunatha.
- This century is about skill development. A nation like India is youthful and hence, we must harness our demographic dividend.
- Our saints and seers created as well as nurtured institutions which have helped society for centuries.
- I got the opportunity to hand over RuPay cards to women self help groups. Happy to see enthusiasm towards digital transactions.
- Conservation of water is a major challenge for us in this day and age. We also need to give importance towards living in harmony with nature and not think about short term gains.
- I have seen how hard BS Yeddyurappa works for the welfare of farmers. Even when I was serving as Chief Minister, he would be talking to me about issues relating to farmers.
- I urge the farmers of Karnataka to embrace methods like drip irrigation that help conserve water.
- Every rupee, every resource from the Government of India is devoted for the welfare of Indians. We are ensuring the fruits of development reach the intended beneficiaries without any scope of corruption.
- I urge people to use Bhim App and embrace cashless transactions. This is the era of honesty and integrity. There is no place for those who cheat the system.
