In a recent public rally in South Goa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought to light the long-standing issues faced by the fishing community in India and criticized the Congress party for their alleged neglect of this sector.
“Fishermen were there when the country got independent and during the era of Lord Ram,” PM Modi stated, highlighting the historical significance and cultural importance of the fishing community in India.
He further criticized the Congress party, stating, “After independence, the Congress never remembered the fishermen.” This statement was a direct critique of the Congress party’s policies and their impact on the fishing community.
PM Modi also highlighted his government’s initiatives for the fishing community. “It is Modi who made a separate ministry for the fisheries department,” he said, emphasizing his government’s commitment to addressing the needs of the fishing community.
In addition to the establishment of a separate ministry, the Modi government has also introduced the Kisan Credit Card for the fishermen. This initiative is aimed at providing financial support to the fishing community and empowering them.
The rally in South Goa is part of the BJP’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in the state. The focus on the fishing community is seen as a strategic move to win support from this significant voter base.
The attendees of the rally responded positively to PM Modi’s speech, expressing hope for more such initiatives aimed at improving the condition of the fishing community.
