Modi highlighted the BJP's governance record, pointing to recent initiatives aimed at benefiting farmers, the poor, youth, and women.

"During the campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections, I promised to make big decisions for these sections of society within the first 100 days of the BJP government. It's not even 100 days yet, but our government has already started projects worth ₹15 lakh crore. Three crore pucca houses have been approved for poor families," he added.
