Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (October 30, 2026) vowed to serve the people of India till his last breath, an assertion coming days after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s “Modi ka baap bhi jayega ” (Modi’s father will also be defeated) remark that triggered a political storm.
Modi declared at the gathering. Whenever a crisis befalls the country, they find joy in it. Referring to the conflict in the Gulf region, which is critical to India’s energy security and serves as a key source of fertiliser imports, Mr. “They sowed fear among farmers, claiming fertilisers would become unavailable. They created artificial queues and created a sense of panic,” alleged Mr. Modi.
On the occasion, the Prime Minister also released the 24th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme, which provides ₹6,000 per year in income support to eligible farmers.
“ Jeevan ke antim kshan tak janta ki seva main hi juta rahunga (I will continue to serve the people until my last breath),” Mr. Without taking any names, he said, “There are those who wish to see the country in distress — they actually derive pleasure when the nation faces hardship. Modi said that while the country was united in addressing the situation arising out of the war, some people were spreading rumours and creating panic among people.
The scheme has been launched to promote solar energy use in agriculture, reduce diesel dependency, and boost farmer incomes. Mr. Mr. Mr. Modi added. Instead of chairs for the audience, the organisers of the rally at Bhildi had spread out ‘charpais’ (cots) at the venue. Mr. Modi hailed the move, suggesting this might be one of the biggest ‘charpai sabhas’ he has addressed. Speaking at the rally before Mr. Mr. Referring to Mr. Kharge’s remark against Mr. Kharge that this is the sentiment of the country,” Mr.
“Globally, a bag of urea costs as much as ₹3,000, yet Indian farmers receive it for less than ₹300. The government took this entire burden on itself to ensure the bag reaches you (farmers) at just ₹300,” he said. Similarly, while the global price of a bag of diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertiliser had crossed ₹5,000, Indian farmers were receiving it for ₹1,350, he added. Modi said farmers across the country had received or saved more than ₹50 lakh crore through various government schemes over the past few years, asserting that his government had prioritised their welfare and empowerment. Under the PM-Kisan scheme, more than ₹18,000 crore had been transferred into the bank accounts of around 10 crore farmers as part of the 24th instalment released on Friday (October 30, 2026), he said. Highlighting the benefits of five government schemes, he said around ₹4.5 lakh crore had been transferred directly to small farmers under PM-Kisan since its launch in early 2019. Modi said his government had spent around ₹16 lakh crore to shield farmers from rising fertiliser prices amid global uncertainty. He stated that wheat and paddy growers had received ₹24 lakh crore through the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism over the past 12 years. Under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, farmers had received more than ₹2 lakh crore as compensation over the last 10 to 12 years, the PM said. The PM-KUSUM scheme had also helped reduce irrigation costs, with nearly 12 lakh solar-powered water pumps installed, enabling farmers to save on diesel expenses while contributing to electricity generation, Mr. Modi, Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi said the Prime Minister enjoyed the love and support of 140 crore Indians, asserting that neither the Congress nor its allies could break the bond between him and the people.
Modi, addressing the farmers, said global fertiliser prices and the costs of chemicals required to manufacture them had surged due to the war, but the government had ensured that the additional burden did not fall on cultivators.
“Through these initiatives (five government schemes) alone, the nation’s farmers have either received or saved an amount equivalent to ₹50 lakh crore, a truly massive figure, which has contributed to increasing their income,” he said. Sanghavi said the slogan “Modi kahi nahi jayega” (Modi will not go anywhere), coined to counter Mr. Kharge’s “Modi ka baap bhi jayega” (Even Modi’s father will go) remark, had echoed across the country, from the villages of Banaskantha district to Kashmir and Kanyakumari. Modi, he said the Opposition had failed to understand the strength of people’s support for the prime minister. “An ordinary Congress worker told the party president (at an event in Bihar) that Modi kahi nahi jayega. He told Mr. Sanghavi said. He alleged that they “get happiness when the country faces difficulty” and were using the situation to defame him. Earlier reporting noted: “Some spread rumours after Iran war that farmers would not get fertilisers, and people LPG, only to defame Modi,” he said, without naming anyone. Earlier reporting noted: Addressing a gathering in Bhildi in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district, Modi also said he would continue to serve the people of India till his last breath.

He accused the Opposition of rejoicing when the country faces a crisis and spreading panic over the availability of fertilisers and cooking gas amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Mr. “They also tried to frighten women, claiming that cooking gas would no longer be available and asking, ‘How will you cook your meals? How will your children go to school? “I had promised that Modi would stand firmly by your side. And look — even though the conflict continues, Modi has ensured that there is no shortage of fertilisers for our farmers,” the PM emphasised.
He was addressing a gathering after inaugurating the Bharat Bovine Breeding and Research Centre (BBBRC) at Bhildi town in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district besides launching and laying the foundation stones for ₹14,000 crore development projects.
