 Ladies and gentlemen, the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi. A warm welcome to the Honorable Prime Minister who joins us at the Second Republic Summit in New Delhi. Ladies and gentlemen, the Shillong Chamber Choir with Omar Apunardek, the state song of Aham. Its lilting, melody and stirring lyrics have moved the hearts of its listeners for close to a century. The title means, Oh My Enduring Country. Mr. Prime Minister Sir, we present this rendition by the Shillong Chamber Choir. A song now which we are about to sing is a song we don't get tired of singing because the sentiment of it is one that we will never get tired about. And it speaks like we spoke recently about bridging the gap. It says in a world with so much suffering, let us heal the wounded gap. Not them, not they, not the others, but us. And our craft is music. We are artists and we all here have a calling. So let us be that healing, ladies and gentlemen, one day matram, I'm so proud to be an Indian. Our viewers from across the world, and it gives me happiness to say that our viewers are today watching this in Australia and in the United Kingdom where we began broadcasting recently, and in Singapore and in Dubai and even in Canada where our network is right now live, ladies and gentlemen, a very warm welcome to all of you and especially to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on our second Republic Summit. Respected Pradhan Mantri ji, you inspire our nation with your leadership and today you inspire us all who are gathered here in this hall with your presence for a second consecutive year for our Republic Media Network Summit and last year, last year Pradhan Mantri ji when we were just one year old as a network and when we had still not launched our Hindi channel Republic Bharat, you said at the Republic Media Summit in Mumbai and I would like to quote you, you said today India is a country that never stops. Na rukenge na jhukenge na dheema parenge, yeh India ne tharn liya hai. Pradhan Mantri ji, every week today the Republic Media Network in Hindi and in English is reaching 150 to 200 million viewers across India that's 15 to 20 crore viewers across our country. We are working hard and today I'm proud to say that on the digital medium where we are now working we have more readership on the digital medium than some of the most highly circulated newspapers of India. Is liye Pradhan Mantri ji, ham ne bhi tharn liya hai ki desh ke barthewe kadam ke saath saath hamara Republic Media Network bhi apne kadam aur bhi tez karega. And respected Prime Minister it gives me great pride to announce in your presence today with as much confidence as I did last year when we announced Republic Bharat in your August presence we are happy to announce that starting January 2020 the Republic Media Network is now expanding its operation and we will now broadcast and publish in every Indian language. This is a big step for our network and I'm so proud to present this before you today that in the next 18 months our plan is to operate on digital video and text in all major Indian languages making the Republic Media Network the largest, fastest, most diversified news network in India and towards this we seek your support, your encouragement and we seek the love and belief of the people of India. Pradhan Mantri ji, aap ke nirantar prayaso se, unki bhaje se chahe bo yog ho, antarashtri astar prar climate change ho, terrorism ke khilaf jo ladai hai wo ho. Duniya Bharat ki tarab aaj dekhti hai aur Bharat ke log umeedh bhari nigaaho se aap ki tarab dekhti hai. You have taken the image of Bharat to an unparallel level across the entire world and every Indian knows and acknowledges that today. As you have said in Houston and I'd like to quote you again, Indians are identified by their virtue of patience but now we are impatient. We are impatient for the development of this country and to take the country to newer heights in the 21st century and therefore in line with the aspirations of growing India under our leadership I want to make one more formal announcement. We are also very impatient to run with the country to grow and grow fast. Today, large growing fast media network and therefore I am happy to announce in the presence of everyone here in this industry in Delhi and starting 2020-10. And you are talking about this first 30 years that I am taking this forward has been in the process of formally expanding into global news operations. We believe it is time for an Indian media network to grow globally. It has been something we have spoken about for a long time and our respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also evangelized and supported such ideas of India, India's soft power going to the world and we believe that we can bring Indian hard work, Indian professionalism, our understanding of media and technology to enter into the very competitive world of global media. I don't know how this journey will end but I assure you we will work as hard in expanding into our global operations as we have over the last two years, building the network. We want to broadcast and publish on digital to start with for a global audience and become the first Indian media network to beam for the world, not just for Indians living abroad who are a very large part of our community. Therefore, Prime Minister, we will become the first Indian media network with a regional, national and global footprint. We will work hard step by step with you to deepen our democracy and to take the great story of our great nation across the world because we believe that our work in the Republic of India is only one thing. The nation first. On national level. On national level. And only on national level. Prime Minister, we request you to give your word to us. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Goswami. On the other hand, all of you are great. The entire Republic TV, Republic of India team, all of you here, the people from the society, friends, Last time, when I came in between you, the only discussion of the Republic TV was about. But now, you have established the Republic of India. Now, let me tell you that in a short time, your regional channel is about to be launched. And it is also preparing for global presence. For this, I give you all good news. Friends, it has been 70 years of our society. It is a very historic day. I give all of you and all of the viewers of the Republic TV, a very special day of this year and a very special day. Friends, who do you think is the best? The nation wants to know. The nation wants to know. From where the journey started, from there, how the journey of nation first has been decided. In the last five years, not the whole country has seen this transformation. Five, six years ago, in the public and media, only questions, questions, questions, this is what was going on. And it seemed as if a recording bulletin was going on. And in between, the same thing kept repeating. Usually, there were discussions. Thousands of crores of drops. So, in the second week, there were thousands of crores of drops. Sometimes, in the morning, sometimes in Mumbai, sometimes in Delhi, sometimes in Kaipur, in Bombay, sometimes in North East, in Blockhead, sometimes in the sky, it was expensive. If one bulletin had ended, then the next day, the same bulletin would have come again. And with all the same news. Now, with the circumstances and circumstances, the country has progressed a lot. Now, with the problems and challenges, we are talking about the solution. While there are ten or so old problems, the country is looking in front of its eyes. And sometimes, people keep saying, we didn't think that we would be able to see this as long as we live. And there are two main reasons for this. There are 130 crores of people who believe, who say, yes, it is India's moment. And secondly, there are 130 crores of people in India who say, nation first, nation first, nation above, nation ahead. Friends, you may remember, a few years ago, I had made a small appeal. And I said, the one who is able to do it, he should leave his gas supply. It was a small appeal. After this appeal, more than a crore of people left their gas supply. This is nation first. Since July 2017, 63 lakhs, more than that, senior citizens who have to travel on railways, get subsidies. 63 lakhs of passengers, senior citizens, have voluntarily left their subsidies. This is nation first. You may remember, to make 100 crores in our village, a 105-year-old woman, sold her goats for only one of her earnings. She made a toilet and started a movement to make a toilet. This is nation first. Retired teachers of Pune, who have a huge share of their pension has donated. Is this nation first? Does a android teach citizens how to behave responsibly. He teaches citizens And the same is the same, nation-firsts. Friends, this nation-first is the foundation of every nation of the nation. It is the feeling of responsibility towards our country that is not encouraging India today. And that is why you have put the theme of the summit of India's moment, nation-first. It reflects the emotions and aspirations of the nation today. Friends, the feeling of nation-first is what we have done. The trust of the people is so much that you have seen it in the world elections this year. The people of the nation know and believe that we have done our job by accepting nation-first as our own life. Now, from this mandate, we have been given the order to fulfill the demands of the people along with the needs of the people. What are the last demands? These are the demands of the nation-first. We have to get rid of the old demands of the nation-first. Friends, when nation-first is the first, then our thoughts are also growing and we are trying to prove them. I would like to share with you some examples. On the other hand, Article 370 and 335a. Because of this, you know the progress of India. And now, how this challenge has been solved? You have seen this too. Article 370 has been in our community since the first day. It has not been established. It has not been temporarily established. But still, because of the political freedom of some people and some families, it has been psychologically established. By doing this, they have accepted the feeling of the community. They have seen it. Because of Article 370, they have given the air to the people of Algao and Phalaan. Our government has removed Article 370 and Article 35a and established the community of the nation-first. Now, in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, the new path of development has begun to open. There was another issue in front of the country, which was going on for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years. From dozens of different courts, it was being heard. And this issue was of Ayodhya. The first one who lived in Dal Sattah, they did not have the will to solve this conflict and influence. They were looking for their own vote in this. So, they kept joining the courts to get rid of it. There was no reason that this marriage would not have been solved earlier. But, some political parties and organizations of this country, have pulled Ayodhya's marriage for so many days. If such people had been left behind, they would never have been able to solve this issue. Friends, to get rid of our politics, and to keep the issues up, some people have always created an artificial logic of fear in the country. If India does this, then it will be like this. If there is such a decision in the country, then it will be like this. It will escalate. It will be backlash. Interference. Just like they used to talk with logic. They used to justify it. Friends, today, on the 25th of November, it is the year of the meeting in Mumbai. We know it very well. After this meeting, how tender was the meeting with the terrorists. Now, how does the country act against terrorists? Do I need to tell you this? All the logic used by the terrorists has been changed now. Friends, the issue of three divorces has not been pulled this far. Even this issue has been pulled as much as possible. It shows the same artificial logic of fear. Similarly, the poor have always been created by the issue of protection. The politicians of the board bank have never given anyone lies to anyone. So, they have taken out their meaning by scaring someone. How long does it last like this? Article 370, Aayudhya ho, Teen talag ho, Ya gharibon ko aarakshaan. The country has taken such decisions to face the old challenges. And now, it is moving forward. And it is not like this that the power of the country has not tried to incite people to get angry. Everything has been tried. But the people have failed. And this feeling of the people is nation-first. The cycle of time is also seeing that when nation-first happens, the country takes great decisions. And it shows the ability to accept those decisions. And it is moving forward. By changing the thinking of India, it is a strong message for every political party of our country. The people of the country do not want to be in trouble. They do not want to be in trouble. They only want to be able to see the development of the country. The doors of new successes only open when challenges are accepted in life. Now, you can watch our show Arnab. You can watch his TV show. By making such a long window and calling so many guests, Arnab's court begins. But when does this happen? Arnab's guests also take risks in their show. Anyway, it is fun. Arnab accepted the challenge. And that is why a network like Republic TV has been established. Our government has accepted not only challenges, but also a serious effort to solve them. I remember when in 2014, after becoming the government, NPAs were held during the last government. And what was the situation when the problem was solved to hide it? We brought this mess to the country and came up with a solution. Now, because of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Court, IBC, the return of Rs. 3 lakh crores has been established. Do you remember? How many people had come up with NPAs? It was a pattern. Before 2017, these people made a new lie. And then, all of a sudden, the news will be spread across the world. Or breaking news will be made. And then, their entire ecosystem will be blown away. In the media, you make a background and package. Remember, this pattern was led by NPAs. This pattern was led by EBM. This pattern was led by Rafael. A few days ago, when the government reduced corporate tax from a historical point of view, something had been started. And the election board has become their favourite. Along with the country, to maintain the power, to maintain the country, in a historical way, if anything is happening, some people start feeling pain in their stomach. Tell me, do you remember the debate on the basis of this? They went to the Supreme Court and said, that the basis was not legal. These people gave full power to the country. Friends, today, the basis of the human rights of the country has become a big issue. And not only this, we have this data of the basis of biometric identification. The world is getting confused. The nature of the world has made me talk about the basis and the process of the basis. We have so many important things in our lives. Friends, we have a small contribution to the basis. We have more than 8 crores of paper. Will you be surprised? More than such people who were never born. They were not born, but married, became widows, became pensioners. These were the people who had only paper. These paper people used to take gas subsidy, take pension, take salary, take scholarship. They used to use the same money, but they lost. I think the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis of the basis was a huge contribution. And from this nearly 1.5 lakh crores I speak again. It's not less than 1.5 lakh crore rupees. For almost a year and a half, this much of ration had been in the wrong hands, and no one was going to stop it. We did this huge leakage of the system. We did the work of stopping it. We did it as a basis. Do you know how many people have been harmed? How many people must have been stopped filling their pockets? How many people must have been hiding in their hearts? But we did all this because nation first. If these people had gone, then the GST would never be able to apply. Even the GST was considered to be a very political risk. The country in which it was applied, the government had fallen there. This election did not stop us. Instead, we applied it in India without the concern of the political club. Today, because of the GST, an honest business culture is being strengthened in the country. And the price is also going down. Today, things are connected to the people. This may not be seen in the media. I don't know what their problem is. Today, things are connected to the people. 99% – I am saying this with great responsibility – 99% of things seem to be half-taxed compared to before the GST. It seems half-taxed compared to before the GST. There was a time when the refrigerator, mixer, juicer, vacuum cleaner, geyser, mobile phone, washing machine, and watches would be more than 31% taxed. Today, these things are taxed up to 10-12%. Only 10-12%. Before the GST, wheat, rice, curd, wheat flour were also taxed. Today, after the GST, tax is free. Friends, I would like to give you an example. In the lives of tens of millions of people in Delhi, there was a huge uncertainty. In a way, India was destroyed since then. Along with the independence of India, their problems also increased. People used their hard-earned money to buy a house here. But that house could not be completely demolished. The problem was completely solved. Our government decided to demolish it. And now, let me tell you about Delhi alone. More than 50 lakhs of people in Delhi have the faith in their home and better life. In the same way, the real estate sector of our country was going on without any regulation. How many people in Delhi and NCR have taken advantage of it? People here know it very well. But this is a problem in the whole country. To change the old situation over the years, our government has decided to make many law-making decisions. Recently, the government has started to demolish 25,000 crores of real estate projects. We will definitely benefit from it. And we will get help from their homes. First, we will look at the current situation. And today, we will study our government's work. Then we will know what is the direction of the nation first. What is the policy of the nation first. And how do we benefit from it? This is what our nation first is trying to do. Friends, today, in India, the speed and scale that is being worked on is very high. In 60 months, to reach about 60 crores of Indians, to reach the speed of the state, to reach at least 8 crores of homes in 3 years, to reach 18,000 villages in less than 1000 days, to reach more than 1.5 crores of people in 5 years, to reach more than 30 crores of poor people in the banking system, to start the biggest health insurance scheme in the world, to give 50 crores to 5 lakhs of people, to help about 15 crores of farmers. This is the kind of strategy and program that you can only execute and plan when you and your entire team become nation first mantras. When you get out of the selfishness, everyone's support, everyone's development, and everyone's faith is based on policy and political policy. Brothers and sisters, this is the thought of the nation first. We have to end the problems in the future. We have decided to make it the new engine of the country's growth. This thought has left us behind in the course of development. We have learned to work with the new approach of the 112 aspirational districts of the country. This is the thought of the nation first, which has led to the re-designation of the TIKO system. The TIKO system, which saved our lives and diseases, has reached the TIKO system far and wide. The nation first has shown us the way to make the maternity leave more than 12 weeks and 26 weeks, so that mothers can get time to take care of their children. This thought has shown us a different way to make children in every school. So that children don't have to leave school at this time. Friends, this is the feeling of the nation first, which has opened up more than 30 crores of banks to connect the poor to the banking system. The country's economy has also been able to do digital lending easily. With this thought, we have given the rupee card. The beam app has been launched. You will be happy to know that more than 55 crores of rupee debit cards have been issued in the country. And the market share of this card has reached up to 30%. The rupee card is increasing more and more to become a global brand. Brothers and sisters, because of this thought of the nation, the mission of life began. In the coming times, on this mission, approximately 3.5 lakh crores of rupees will be spent so that in the distant areas of the country, people can get clean water to drink. They can get water to every house. Friends, now make life easier for the people. With the intention of increasing their income, the goal of making the country's economic situation worth 5 trillion dollars, the country has kept it. I also believe that by working with the nation first, we will get every decision. We will get the best results and the country will achieve every goal. Friends, I hope that in this meeting, with this thought, there will be a new opportunity for the new India. There will be a discussion on new opportunities. And then once again, on the day of Samidhan, I got the opportunity to meet the Republic family. Through you, the nation and the world I got the opportunity to convey my message to your viewers. For this, I am grateful to you. And I thank you all very much. You gave me the opportunity to talk here. For this, I am very grateful to you. Thank you very much.
