In a recent public rally in South Goa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought to light the plight of the fishing community in India and criticized the Congress party for their alleged indifference towards this sector.
“Fishermen have been a part of our country since its independence and even during the era of Lord Ram,” PM Modi remarked, emphasizing the deep-rooted presence and importance of the fishing community in India’s history and culture.
He further lambasted the Congress party, stating, “After independence, the Congress never remembered the fishermen.” This comment was a direct indictment of the Congress party’s policies and their impact on the fishing community.
PM Modi also highlighted his government’s initiatives aimed at uplifting the fishing community. “It is Modi who made a separate ministry for the fisheries department,” he declared, underscoring his government’s commitment to addressing the needs of the fishing community.
In addition to the creation of a separate ministry, the Modi government has also introduced the Kisan Credit Card for the fishermen. This initiative is designed to provide financial support to the fishing community and empower them.
The rally in South Goa is part of the BJP’s ongoing campaign to consolidate 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.
