“Every Wish of Those Who Want India to Fail Is Being Left Unfulfilled”: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp political attack while addressing the centenary celebrations of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) at Delhi University, referring to his recent use of the term “Dimagi Naxal” and accusing those promoting what he described as an “illness” of being exposed before the public.

Referring to his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort, PM Modi said he had given a “homeopathic pill” called “Dimagi Naxal”, claiming that, under the principles of homeopathy, symptoms initially become more pronounced when treatment begins.

“As soon as I gave the ‘Dimagi Naxal’ homeopathic pill, all the ‘Dimagi Naxals’ started coming out one after another,” Modi said.

He added that the public was now seeing the “true colours” of those he accused of promoting the ideology.

Modi Recounts India’s Crisis Years

The Prime Minister also questioned whether the transformation India has witnessed in recent years was really as easy as some people suggest.

Taking students back to earlier crises, Modi recalled the 2013 Kedarnath disaster, saying the government at the time was shaken and struggled to respond.

He also referred to the 2008 global financial crisis, alleging that the government then tried to shield itself from the crisis rather than confronting the challenges facing India's banking system.

Modi further recalled the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, alleging that the government of the time lacked the political courage to respond firmly to Pakistan.

‘India Will Not Survive’ Predictions Proved Wrong, Says Modi

Highlighting challenges faced by India over the past six years, Modi cited the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, disruptions to global trade and supply chains, and the crisis in West Asia.

He said that during each crisis, there were predictions that India would not be able to withstand the pressure.

Modi also took a swipe at his political critics, saying some of his “biggest admirers” were happy whenever India faced a major challenge because they believed he was trapped politically.

However, he credited the people of India for giving his government the strength to overcome these challenges.

“The blessings of the people of my country have so much strength… that every wish of those who want India to fail is being left unfulfilled,” Modi said.

His remarks at SRCC combined a political attack with a broader account of India's response to major domestic and global crises, while emphasizing his government's claim of resilience in the face of repeated challenges.
