Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, on Thursday, expressing confidence that the BJP will achieve a hat-trick on June 4, the day of poll counting.

Speaking at a rally for Anita Som Prakash, the BJP candidate from the reserved Hoshiarpur constituency, Modi declared, ?India has made up its mind to go for the Modi government for the third time. After decades, we are scoring a hat-trick at the Centre with full majority to fulfill the dream of Viksit Bharat. The 21st century is India?s century. The ?dumdaar sarkar (strong government)? is coming back.?

Modi emphasized the achievements of his government over the past decade, stating, ?In 10 years, Modi has given a robust government that vanquished the nation?s enemies and made India prosperous and self-reliant.? He added that his administration has worked with the principle of 'Karam hi dharam hai' (work is worship) for 'sabka sath sabka vikas' (together with all, development for all).

Outlining future plans, Modi said, ?We have already prioritised works to be done after coming to power. A 125-day roadmap has already been prepared. The first quarter will be dedicated to youngsters with key decisions to be taken in five years and the vision for the next 25 years to make a new India.?

Modi also highlighted his vision for Punjab, asserting that the time has come to make the state 'viksit' (developed). ?I have sensed the mood of Punjab. They have decided to vote for Modi this time,? he said confidently.
