India is feeding twice as much population as the US, even without taking money: PM Modi

New delhi date. 09 July 2020 Thursday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in talks with representatives of non-governmental organizations in his constituency of Varanasi. At the meeting, they are discussing their efforts to distribute food and deliver other assistance during the lockdown imposed by the Corona virus crisis.

At the meeting, PM Modi said, "This is Shravan month. Talking to the people of Varanasi is like visiting Lord Bholenath." It is the blessing of Lord Bholenath that our Varanasi is full of enthusiasm even during the Kovid-19 crisis.

He said that not all the people who worked during the Covid-19 crisis were just fulfilling their responsibilities. There was a fear because of Corona. Coming forward voluntarily in such a situation among the people is a new form of service.

Kashi hit Corona hard

The Prime Minister said that it is the blessing of Lord Shankar that even in this time of crisis in Corona, our Kashi is full of hope. Full of enthusiasm. Know that people could not go to Baba Vishwanath Dham. It is also true that the fair could not be held in the month of Shravan at Manas Mandir, Durgakund, Sankatmochan.

"But it is also true that my Kashi and our Kashi have fought resolutely in this time of crisis," he said. Today's program is also a link to this.

If there is a shortage of food distribution vehicles, the postal department has deployed its own vehicle

PM Modi said that it is a matter of great fortune for all of you, for all the organizations, for all of us that this time God made us the means of serving the poor. In a way you all became the messengers of Maa Annapurna and Baba Vishwanath and reached every need dim.

"I was told that when the district administration had run out of vehicles to distribute food, the postal department used an empty postal van," he said. Think, the image of the government administration has been that every work is forbidden first.

There were doubts about Corona in UP but people shattered this

PM Modi said that there was an epidemic like this even 100 years ago. It is said that at that time the population in India was not so large. Yet India was one of these countries. In which the highest number of deaths occurred. So now the whole world was worried about India.

He said that when the epidemic hit this time, everyone was scared of India. So many populations, so many challenges, so many great experts emerged to question India. There were more doubts about Uttar Pradesh with a population of 23-24 crore.

Modi said corona has killed about 65,000 people in a huge country like Brazil with the same population as Uttar Pradesh, while about 800 people have lost their lives in Uttar Pradesh. This means that many lives have been saved in the state.

He said that but with your cooperation, the hard work and prowess of the people of Uttar Pradesh shattered all fears. The situation today is that not only has Uttar Pradesh overcome the pace of transition but those who have had corona are also recovering rapidly. The biggest reason for this is you all.
