Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted a rally in Rajasthan's Churu on Friday, in support of BJP candidate Devendra Jhajharia. The event saw the presence of prominent leaders, including Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, State BJP President C.P. Joshi, former State President Satish Poonia, and former Opposition leader Rajendra Rathore.
Speaking at a large gathering in support of paralympic athlete Devendra Jhajahria, PM Modi emphasized a shift in approach, stating, "Times have changed. Today's India, known for entering enemy territories to deliver a fitting response, is vastly different."
He recalled instances where, he claimed, the Congress-led government had hindered the military's ability to respond to provocations.
“As long as the Congress people remained in power, they kept the hands of our soldiers tied… The enemy would attack and leave but they did not allow the soldiers to respond. The soldiers kept demanding one rank one pension, but they did nothing… ,” he said.

Modi highlighted the change brought by his administration, stating, “When our government came, we gave them open permission to give befitting replies to enemies on borders. Today even enemies know that ‘This is Modi; This is New India which attacks after entering into territories of enemies.”
PM Modi recalled his visit to Churu on February 26, 2019, which came soon after the Balakot airstrikes. “We had taught the terrorists a lesson,” he said.
Reiterating his commitment to national sovereignty, PM Modi invoked, “Main desh nahin jhukne doonga, saugandh mujhe hai mitti ki…”
“When our Army carried out the surgical strikes, the Ghamandiya Ghathbandhan demanded proof of bravery from the Army. Insulting the Army and dividing the country is the identity of the Congress party,” he said.
PM Modi attacked the opposition’s alliance and said the people of the ‘Ghamandiya Ghathbandhan’ had called Lord Ram “imaginary”.
“Just a few months ago, the dream of Ram temple in Ayodhya was fulfilled. The Congress party was openly insulting our faith,” he said, adding, “The country has always paid the price for the sins of Congress.”
He further said that a journalist told him that the Congress Party has issued an advisory out of fear in which they have asked their workers to stay tightlipped if there is any discussion about the Ram temple.
“Our country now cannot tolerate this grave insult to our faith,” he added.
