Speaking at a rally amid Lok Sabha Elections 2024 in Solapur on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised the opposition "INDI alliance" for wanting to rotate the Prime Minister's job every year. He questioned whether such a system is appropriate for running a vast country like India.
Modi claimed that if the INDIA bloc won power during the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, it would apply a "one year, one PM" formula over five years, resulting in five different Prime Ministers. He emphasised the value of stability in leadership, contrasted with the unpredictability of shifting leadership, reported PTI.
Speaking at a Lok Sabha Elections 2024 rally, PM Modi said, "There is a great war going on about who will be the leader of the INDI alliance. Can you hand over such a big country to someone whose face is not known? These people have been dividing the country to grab power. Now a new formula has been brought in, that of five prime ministers in five years. One PM every year. While you have seen each and every aspect of Modi in the last 10 years, there is a war on who will be the leader of the INDI alliance."
During his speech, Modi emphasised his government's commitment to attaining "true" social justice without violating the rights of any segment of society. He emphasised the implementation of a 10 per cent reservation for economically backward individuals from various categories, emphasising the policy's inclusive nature, the PTI further reported.

According to the report, Modi chastised the INDI alliance leaders for their frequent attacks on him, claiming that they lack substantial debates about the country's growth. He stated that his government had lifted 25 crore impoverished people out of poverty, and blamed the Congress for impeding the implementation of Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution in Kashmir.
In his speech amid Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Modi reaffirmed his commitment to social justice without causing societal splits, underlining his government's efforts to empower marginalised communities while retaining unity, the report added.
"Without snatching the rights of backward classes, we gave 10 per cent reservation for economically backward among general categories. We gave 10 per cent reservation to provide justice to the poor people belonging to the general category and the Dalit leaders of the country welcomed it positively," PM Modi was quoted as saying in the PTI report.
Per the agency report, PM Modi further said, "We did not take away the rights of one section for the sake of the other. Our idea and way of ensuring social justice doesn't create a divide in society. INDI alliance leaders abuse Modi daily as they don't have anything to speak about the country's development."
