PM Modi in Gaya: “Be it PM or CM, the corrupt will go to jail and lose their chair”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Gaya, Bihar, on Friday, launched development projects worth ₹13,000 crore and flagged off two trains. Addressing a massive public gathering, he began his speech in Magahi language, striking a local connect, and declared that his biggest pride is serving as a “sevak” of the people.

Attack on corruption and new law

PM Modi highlighted the new anti-corruption law, making it clear that no one will be spared—not even a Prime Minister or Chief Minister. He said:

• “If bail is not granted within 30 days, then on the 31st day, one will have to leave the chair.”

• “There is no right to run a government from jail. Whoever goes to jail will not only face punishment but will also lose their position.”

He launched a scathing attack on RJD, saying Bihar had once suffered under the “lantern rule of red terror.”

PM Awas Yojana: dignity along with homes

Reaffirming his government’s commitment to housing for all, PM Modi said:

• “More than 4 crore permanent houses have been built in 11 years across India.”

• “In Bihar alone, 38 lakh homes have been completed, including 2 lakh in Gaya.”

He added that the scheme was not just about building walls but about restoring dignity to the poor. Modi assured that the PM Awas Yojana will continue until every poor family has a pucca house.

Special Diwali and Chhath for Bihar

“This time Diwali and Chhath Puja will be brighter than ever for the people of Bihar,” the PM said, promising that those left out of the housing scheme would soon get their rightful homes.

Cultural pride of Gaya Ji

Calling Gaya “a land of salvation, spirituality, and knowledge,” he praised the Bihar government’s decision to officially call the city “Gaya Ji” instead of just Gaya. He recalled that this was the very land where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, making it a global spiritual hub.

Fulfilled promises and strong defence

PM Modi reminded people of his past promises:

• “When terrorists attacked Pahalgam and killed innocent citizens, I had pledged on the soil of Bihar that terrorism will be wiped out. Today, the world is witnessing the fulfillment of that resolution.”

He also spoke of Operation Sindoor, claiming it has “drawn a new line in India’s defence policy.” Modi declared that terrorists can no longer escape—whether they hide across the border or in the underworld, India’s missiles will reach them.
