 Welcome, Bharat Mata ki, Bharat Mata ki, Bharat Mata ki. Welcome to all Karkarta joining this interaction from Chennai Central, Chennai North, Madurai, Tiruchirapalli, Tiruvallur. I really enjoy these regular interactions with our wonderful Karkartas. They are the life and soul of the party. Brick by brick our Karkartas have taken our party to new heights with the blessings of the people. We have got the opportunity to serve in several states and the credit for that goes to every Karkarta. I'm sure you all are working very hard at the booth level and preparing for the 2019 elections. While you are working for the party, remember one simple principle. Merabooth sabse majbooth. Ensure that the party wins maximum votes in every booth. Once we win at the booth level, no force can stop us from winning the elections. In order to be strong at the booth level, make an effort to know every person in your booth. Become a family member for them. Share their joys and sorrows. Since we live in the era of technology, I urge you to be up to date with at least technology trends also. The younger generation uses technology very well. Thus, you must keep pace with them. Where do we head first? I think it's Chennai. Let us first go to Chennai Central. I have visited Chennai several times and I like the city very much. I am told that work on the expressway and metro is going on well. Over 6000 crore rupees have been released by the central government for the metro. Who would like to talk from Chennai? Welcome. If there is anyone who wants to ask a question, please. Respect your Prime Minister. I am Murali Dharan, President of Harbor Mandal of Central Chennai District. My question is, by doing the Mahagat Bandhan, will these parties be able to save themselves from the past sins? Do they consider us fools? What do you say on this, sir? Murli Dhar, you are right. Today several leaders are talking about a grand alliance or a Mahagat Bandhan. This alliance is for personal survival, not ideology-based support. This alliance is for power, not for the people. This alliance is for personal ambitions, not people's aspirations. Do you know, several of these parties and their leaders claim to be deeply inspired by Dr. Ram Manor Luya, who was deeply opposed to the Congress, its ideology and the way Congress did politics. What sort of a tribute are they paying to Dr. Luya by forming an unholy and opportunist alliance with the Congress? Dr. Luya always said the Congress is a compromise party which had made compromises on many ideological issues, next-line interest issues. He also said that Congress is responsible for cause inequality in India. Dr. Luya was pained that the Congress after 1947 was not the Congress of Mahatma Gandhi, but it had leaders who got used to power and luxury. The top leadership of several parties who are now aiming for a seat on the Mahagat Bandhan, were arrested and tortured during the emergency. Sadly, today these parties and Congress have become oxygen for each other, but people know very well the real nature of these parties. Whenever they are in power, be it Uttar Pradesh or Bihar, the state sees complete breakdown of law and order. Corrupt and criminal elements are supreme when these parties govern. It is common knowledge how the Congress harassed Mulayam Singh Ji with cases. Have these parties done justice to the ideals of Dr. Luya? The answer is resounding no, no, no. Congress and their ecosystem spares no one. Even the great MGR, the stalwart who worked for the poor and downtrodden, was targeted. In 1980, his elected government was dismissed. He had the support of the Assembly, the House of the People, but Congress had the Raj Bhavan, House of the Governor. Phrase elections were called and MGR won. Srimati Indira Gandhi never forgave MGR for that. No one had forgotten where the Congress and DMK stood on the Jain Commission. That time Congress said, either it is DMK or it is us, but today they want to be together. If not opportunism, what explains their alliance? In Andhra Pradesh, it was NTR, N. T. Ramaral, who faced the anger and high hedonism of the Congress. He formed a party for the pride and respect of the Telugu's at a time when the Congress humiliated a chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. Yet, today the party of NTR wants to ally with the Congress. How can the people of Andhra Pradesh accept this? It was not long ago that the LAP was passing resolutions, calling Congress pro-imperialist, responsible for price rise, agriculture crisis and much more. But now the Singh fails praise of each other. Another party, Beijing Maharashtra, was formed in severe opposition to the Congress leadership. But the reign Maharashtra for 15 years with Congress looted the state with Congress, did irrigation scam with Congress, did other scam with Congress. Maximum farmer suicides happened when this party along with Congress was holding the agriculture portfolio. The truth is, this so-called grand alliance are a club of rich dynasties. They're only to promise family rule. People can see through their opportunism and will never accept such an incoherent coalition. India wants democracy. The alliance wants dynasty. India wants growth for all. The alliance wants growth for only their families. Now, let us go to North Chennai. They are also waiting for us. I would like to pay tributes. First, I would like to pay tributes to Dr. Jayachandran, who passed away recently. Dr. Jayachandran popularly knows, at the five rupees doctor, he treated a large number of people from the weaker section of society. Friends from North Chennai, who will ask a question? I am Sudarshan Mandal, President of Tiruvikaar Nagar Mandal of North Chennai District. My question is that we know you and the government is working very hard for the people. What can ordinary Karyakartas like us do to ensure that Modi government gets elected again? Thank you, G. Thank you, Sudarshan. I would like to tell you that elections are not won by leaders. But elections are won by our hard-working Karyakartas. The more the Karyakartas are filled with respect and pride for our motherland, the more they are connected to the people and the more sensitive they are towards the poor, the easier will be our victory. We must display teamwork at every booth. The Karyakartas at every booth must be aware of the 23 mantras that they can do. On the Namo app, you will get all the 23 points. May I ask you one question? May I ask you one question? All the Karyakartas, those who are there, how many Karyakartas have a mobile phone? Please raise your hands. All of them. How many Karyakartas have a Narendra Modi app on your mobile phone? So now that first you take the decision that today only each and every Karyakarta must have a mobile app on that telephone. Will it be? Promise? Our Sangathan Mantra is not raising his hand. So who will take care of this challenge? Yes, our decision. Are you sure? District President. I am a district president of North Chennai. I will take up this challenge. Yes, exactly. You can see that each and every booth, there must be workers with the mobile app, Narendra Modi app. Sure. Thank you. Have we made a list of at least five members who have a smartphone? Have we put up the party symbol lotus at five locations in the booth? Have we made people download the Namo app or not? How many people have donated through the Namo app? Have we made a list of beneficiaries of various government schemes in our booth? Like Ujwala Yojana or Pradhan Mantra Abbas Yojana. Every point listed is important. In the list of beneficiaries, as an example, whenever both teams will go to collect such information, they will be able to connect with the people directly and know about how the schemes have touched their lives. Another important task each Congress tries to spread lies among people. They spare no efforts to mislead people about the progress our party is making. Almost every poor household in the country now has a jandan bank account, but the Congress will mislead people by saying that their money is not safe in the banks. About six crore poor women have got gas connections, but those who have been rejected by the people spread all type of lies on it. They will mislead people on the Abbas Yojana. If we have a list of beneficiaries and we are connected with them, then we can counter Congress lies with at least ten true and inspiring stories. When people listen to such stories around them, their faith is firmly established. On social media, many of our MPs, MLAs post pictures and videos of them meeting families of several beneficiaries. This work should be done in every booth. I hope you all would do it. Remember all your activities in the booth through Nare Namo app and social media. Let us shift to Madurai. Madurai is famous for the Minoxi temple and the various industries here. Madurai will also be known in the coming years for the aims. Congratulations Madurai for getting the aims. Well, who would like to talk in Madurai? Who would like to talk in Madurai? Yes please from Madurai. Madurai Rural District President, Maha Sushindran. Madurai's aim is to give a great opportunity to the people of Tamil Nadu and the people of Malawada. So, Madurai Rural District President, Madurai Rural BJP, thanks. Namaste sir. Namaste. Maha Sushindran is saying that you are very welcome in Madurai. We are very happy that you have given us the aims which are a great blessing for the people of South India. And we are very grateful to you. Thank you. Who is going to answer the question? Respected Prime Minister, I am D. Saranakumar. Meenachukovil Mandal President from Madurai. First, the immense thanks to Honorable Prime Minister for announcing the aims hospital for Madurai. Sir, my question is Tamil Nadu is heavily urbanized. How can the state be prepared for the challenge of the future? Sir, the question is, Madurai is a city that is bigger than the villages. Thank you, Saranakumar. Today, India is growing at a rapid rate. India's dreams, aspirations and expectations are also growing at a rapid rate. The cities are booming with economic activity. I have always maintained that urbanization is not a challenge but an opportunity. Our efforts are also showing results. An international study said that all the ten top growing cities for the next two decades in the world will be from India. And you will be happy to know that three out of these ten cities are from our Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu has a number of cities in the world. The world will be from India and you will be happy to know that three out of these ten cities are from our Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu has 11 cities being developed as smart cities. The smart cities project is based on civic participation, especially in planning the cities. It is like planning our home in a way that everyone feels included and comfortable. I truly appreciate their enthusiasm. If people take part in the development process, it becomes more inclusive and transparent. Under Amruth, 33 towns from Tamil Nadu have been made part of the scheme. A large number of street lights have been replaced by LED lights. Amruth is making cities more habitable and inclusive. It is ensuring basic amenities needed for a high quality of life. Our goal is to prepare our cities for challenges of New India, Naya Bharat. Tamil Nadu is one of the most urbanized states in the country. For urban housing, the government has committed over 6000 crore rupees to the people of the state. Under Pradhan Mantri Avas Yojana, urban, more than 1.20 lakh urban houses have been constructed and handed over to the people. We are fast moving towards the goal of housing for all by 2022. There is greater emphasis on building sustainable transportation in big cities. The Chennai metro rail project has already received over 6000 crore rupees from the centre. It is already proving to be a game changer for people of the city. Swachh Bharat Abhyan in urban areas has brought about a mindset change as well as visible change in our surroundings. In Tamil Nadu, 5.13 lakh individuals and 86000 public toilets have been constructed. Door-to-door waste collection is happening in a large number of wards with right spirit, right intentions and right technology. We can create an all-inclusive space. Our urban centres can become living, breathing space by focusing on clean and green surroundings. Can we ensure this information reaches everyone in our booth? Our friends in Tirucharapalli are waiting for us. Welcome to Tirucharapalli! Welcome! Tirucharapalli has made a mark in cleanliness. It is also a major engineering equipment manufacturing hub. There are also various other industries here. Well, who would like to talk? Namaste! It is my privilege to speak with our Honourable Prime Minister, Myself Sai Prasanna, Tirucharapalli, Tenur Mandal, Sai Ramji. Sai Ramji! My question is, as we are approaching the end of 2018, we will look back 2018. What do you think this year was for our country? Thank you, G. I think your question is like a question of the journalist, not of the Karkartha. Well, I will try my level best to give you the detailed account. I believe we look ahead with aspiration, but we must look back for inspiration. Sometimes time flies so fast that we forget some remarkable things we achieved in the recent past. 2018 was a watershed year for India. As a nation, we took giant strides towards our goal of building a new India, Naya Bharat. 2018 was a year in which the empowerment of the poor took centre stage. India is defeating poverty at record speeds. Lives of the poor are being transformed in 117 aspirational districts. The poor in eastern part of India are resuming great focus. In 2018, for the first time in the history of India, all villages of India are electrified. In just this one year of 2018, the lives of more than 2 crore families were brightened by the Saubhagya Yojana. In 2018, we launched the world's largest health insurance scheme. In 2018, over 6 lakh families have got free medical treatment through PMJ, ModiCare or Ayushman Bharat Yojana. 2018 is the year in which we mark the start of Mahatma Gandhi's 150th birthday celebrations. In 2018, the total sanitation coverage of India crossed the 95% mark. Remember, it used to be 38% in 2014. 2018 is the year when India got the world's largest statue of unity, the statue of Sardar Bala Bhai Patel. 2018 is the year when Netaji Subhachandra Bose got a fitting tribute from the Red Fort. First time in the history, on the 21st October, the tri-colour was hosted in the Red Fort to mark the 75th anniversary of Azad Hind government. 2018 was also an important year for India's economic growth. When 2018 began, India was ranked 100th in the World Bank's ease of doing business ranking. In 2018, we jumped from rank 100 to 77, the biggest jump for any nation in one year. I could keep on talking about the economy and governance issues, but there is something else that is also close to my heart. Indian youth are shining across the world in the world of sports. And in 2018, they continue to scale new heights. Our under-19 cricket team won the under-19 Cricket World Cup. The Indian blind cricket team won the World Cup. We successfully conducted the Hokie World Cup recently and showed that we are excellent hosts. In the Asian Games and the Para Asian Games, our Indian athletes created a record. What is heartwarming about this victory is not just the number of medals. Many of these sports persons are from small towns. Many of them have come up against great odds. They represent the aspirational spirit of New India. They represent a can-do attitude that New India needs. So, 2018 was not a good year or bad year for India. It was a great year. Last, let us go to Tiruvallur. I am told that Tiruvallur has seen a lot of work under Swachh Bharat. It is also a very active industrial hub. Well, who is going to ask a question? Very nicely decorated this meeting hall. Thank you for this opportunity in Tamil Nadu. It gives us a great opportunity to converse one-to-one with you and turn-by inspired. Today, good news is coming from Gujarat in the form of results. We have done well in Assam, Ariana and Jammu Kashmir also. I take this opportunity to congratulate everyone. Thank you again, Nanna. Our minister president, Maharaj Ji, has a question for you. Thank you. In Jammu Kashmir, there was a great protest. A democratic government was established on the grass-root level. In Haryana, people from all over the country came to vote. You registered this in Tamil Nadu and gave it to them. I first congratulate the people of Tamil Nadu on this. Well, please ask your question. Greetings. Greetings. I am Maharaj Ji from Pune, Tamil Nadu. Today, youth is the bush-bed but we are youth at one end of the spectrum. We must also take care of our senior citizens. Don't you agree, sir? As the government whatever be done for them.

Earlier a senior citizen Who used to earn five lakh rupees a year?
