CM Dhami's Address on Poverty Alleviation
Addressing a gathering, CM Dhami stated, "During his tenure, PM Modi has worked to lift 25 crore people out of poverty.

The Modi government adopted the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) process to eliminate this corruption; with DBT, there is no scope for any leakage in the funds intended for beneficiaries' accounts." He further added, "Congress's politics was one of appeasement and was limited to vote-bank."
Participation in NDA Conclave

Vision for Developed India
He said that India is currently witnessing a historic and proud era in which a new chapter of development is being written, guided by the principles of service, good governance, and the welfare of the poor. The chief minister further stated that the vision of a Developed India has gained renewed momentum under the PM's leadership, while the mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas" has become the foundation of public trust across the nation.
