Nizamabad (Telangana), June 29 (UNI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal is to eliminate both terrorism and Naxalism from the country by March 30, 2026.
He was addressing farmers at the Kisan Maha Sammelan held at the Polytechnic Grounds after inaugurating the National Turmeric Board Office in Nizamabad district on Sunday.
Shah called upon Naxalites to immediately stop violence and surrender, stating that over 10,000 Naxalites have already laid down arms and rejoined the mainstream.
“Pakistan tried to intimidate us with the Pahalgam attack, but the world saw India’s strength. The Modi government is determined not only to defeat terrorism but also to wipe out Naxalism by 2026,” he said.
Turning to political matters, Shah expressed confidence in the BJP's rise in Telangana, saying, “The enthusiasm among our workers reflects our imminent victory. BJP will definitely come to power in Telangana.”
He praised MP Dharmapuri Arvind for fulfilling his promise to the people by securing the Turmeric Board for Nizamabad.
“Modi delivers what he promises. After four decades of struggle, Nizamabad has received the Turmeric Board. Its headquarters will be set up here, benefiting thousands of local farmers,” Shah said.
He also announced the setting up of Bharat Organic Limited and Bharat Export Limited in Nizamabad, which will facilitate turmeric exports to America and Europe.
Criticising opposition parties, Shah questioned whether the BRS government was involved in corruption, citing issues with the Dharani Portal and Kaleshwaram Project.
“BRS may be out of power, but corruption hasn’t gone away. The Congress party has turned Telangana into an ATM for Delhi,” he alleged.
Union Minister and Telangana BJP President G. Kishan Reddy thanked PM Modi and Amit Shah on behalf of Telangana's farmers. He noted that despite turmeric being grown in other states, Nizamabad was chosen for the board headquarters, showcasing the Centre’s commitment to the state’s farmers.
Reddy highlighted several Central initiatives, including uninterrupted power supply, a Rs 3,500 urea subsidy, the Ramagundam fertilizer plant, and the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, under which funds are transferred directly to farmers' bank accounts.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar lauded the farmers of Nizamabad for their persistent struggle. Calling them “heroes,” he asked the crowd to applaud Amit Shah for his support and praised MP Arvind Dharmapuri, popularly known as “Pasupu Arvind,” for his key role in achieving the board.
He added that the Modi government’s vision is not just to make farmers kings, but “kings and maharajas,” and urged the public to give BJP a chance in Telangana.
The event was attended by Nizamabad district in-charge Minister Seethakka, Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, National Turmeric Board Chairman Palle Gangareddy, Secretary Bhavani Sri, MP Dharmapuri Arvind, Dr. Laxman, and Urban MLA Dhanpal Suryanarayana Gupta.
