PM Modi Speech Highlights: 80 Crore People Will Get Free Food Grains

Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the nation said that rules should be followed in the Corona era. He said that in India, the head of the village or the head of the country is not above any rules.

He said, ‘We are entering Unlock-2 while fighting against the Corona global epidemic. At the same time, we are also entering the season in which cold, cold increases, so you have the most appeal to take care of yourself. If you look at the death rate due to corona, India is in a better position than the countries around the world, this is due to the decision of the lockdown taken on time.

He said that earlier we were very cautious about washing hands and maintaining social distance, wearing masks but now carelessness is being seen in it. We have to be cautious. PM Modi said that a Prime Minister of a country was fined 13000 thousand rupees because he did not wear a mask. In India, no village head or prime minister of the country is above any rules.

In his address, PM Modi said, under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, a package of rupees two lakh crore was given to the poor. In the last 3 months, 31 thousand crore rupees have been deposited directly into Jan Dhan accounts of 20 crore poor families. During this time, 18 thousand crore rupees have been deposited in the bank accounts of more than 9 crore farmers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the government has given 3 months of ration, i.e. 5 kg of wheat or rice to every family member free of cost to over 80 crore people in India while fighting Corona.

Making a big announcement, PM Modi said that during monsoon, the maximum agricultural work is done in India. In such a situation, the government has decided that the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana will be expanded and under this, 80 crore people will be given free grain by November.

PM Modi said, ‘Today I am going to make an important announcement related to this. We have more work during and after the rainy season, mainly in the agriculture sector. There is some slowness in other sectors. Gradually, the atmosphere of festivals also starts to form in July. This time of festivals also increases needs, also increases expenses. Keeping all these things in mind, it has been decided that the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana should now be extended till Diwali and Chhath Puja, that is, by the end of November.

He further said, ‘This scheme, which gives free food grains to 80 crore people, will now be applicable in July, August, September, October and November also. More than 90 thousand crore rupees will be spent in this expansion of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. If you add the expenses of the last three months to it, then it becomes almost 1.5 lakh crores.

PM Modi said that a ration-card is being arranged for the whole of India. That is one nation – one ration card. The biggest benefit of this will be given to those poor colleagues who leave their village and go elsewhere for employment or other requirements.

He said, ‘Today, if the government is able to provide free food grains to the poor, the needy, then the credit goes mainly to two classes. First – hardworking farmers of our country, our Annadata, and second – honest taxpayers of our country.

The PM said, ‘In the coming time we will intensify our efforts. We will work relentlessly to empower everyone who is poor, afflicted, exploited, deprived. Will further increase the economic activities done.

Earlier, Home Minister Amit Shah himself tweeted and appealed to people to listen to PM’s address. Prime Minister Modi’s address is taking place at a time when tensions between India and China are at a peak after 20 Indian soldiers were martyred on June 15 in the Galvan Valley of Ladakh.

At the same time, this address is also happening at a time when the country is going to enter the ‘unlock-2’ in the lockdown amidst the increasing cases of the Covid-19 epidemic, for which the Union Home Ministry issued guidelines on Monday night.

Winner of BTS’ Jungkook lookalike competition in Chicago is an all-too-familiar face as ‘lore runs deep’

On Sunday, The BTS Jungkook lookalike contest winner was crowned in Chicago. Impersonators sporting his signature piercings and tattoos swarmed the venue.

Social media personality Andrew Alexander, who’s previously been documented as sharing “striking similarities” with BTS’ Jungkook, won the K-pop star-focussed lookalike competition in Chicago on Sunday, November 24, 2024. (Instagram )

The chain reaction set off by YouTuber Anthony Po’s super-viral Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in Manhattan on October 27, led fans to the K-pop chapter of this journey a month later.

On Sunday, November 24, the new US trend surrounding celebrity lookalike contests saw BTS’ Jungkook enthusiasts turning up for registration in droves. As the Hindustan Times (and several other outlets) previously reported, the event held at Ping Tom Memorial Park in Chicago, Illinois, handed out a $20 cash prize and a bottle of Soju to the winner. As it turned out, some older fans of the K-pop septet already knew the much-debated winner of the anticipated turnout.

A flurry of fan-shared videos and photos popped up online on Sunday (US time), capturing the three finalists in action as the trio, like other Jungkook impersonators showed up dressed in variations of black outfits. Ultimately, Andrew Alexander, a widely renowned YouTube sensation, was crowned the winner. Even if the name doesn’t ring a bell, some BTS fans will remember the content creator from a years-old YouTube video, in which his sister “turned” him into the beloved K-pop group’s maknae.

Who is Andrew Alexander, the winner of Chicago’s Jungkook lookalike competition?

According to the social media personality’s YouTube videos, Andrew is a third-year university student living in California. He clearly flew into Chicago, especially for the Jungkook contest scheduled this week.

Over four years ago, Alexander’s sister, Ashley, posted a video titled “I turned my brother into BTS Jungkook,” as she highlighted how “a lot of people say he looks like” the K-pop star. Given their “striking similarities,” as reflected not only their resemblance (though not validated by a lot of fans) but also their mannerisms, Andrew’s other sister (presumably), Amber, said at the time, “It’s so funny every video we post, there’s at least 20 new people that are like ‘I don’t know if anyone’s ever said this but, Andrew looks like Jungkook’”.

However, Andrew himself did not admit to the similarities. That didn’t stop BTS fan pages from drawing comparisons between him and the BTS singer.

In a video posted before the viral winning announcement, Andrew’s sister documented the scene at the competition venue. Ashley wrote confirmed in the caption, “He flew from LA we flew from NY.” Ironically, the ultimate Jungkook lookalike contest participant was also registered as #7, a number that holds great emotional significance in the BTS fandom, given the group’s member count.

A netizen who’d had been a longtime fan of the Alexander siblings clan – all YouTube personalities – commented on one of Andrew’s posts on November 24, “been a fan since 2018,” as they added a reference to Ashley’s YouTube channel “ur mom ashley.”

In yet another video posted by Amber Alexander, she also recorded the full-circle moment: “He flew all the way from California for this (crying emoji) after years of getting comments saying he looks like Jungkook @andrewalexander WON THE LOOKALIKE COMPETITION.”

Hours before show time, Ashley also took to her TikTok profile (@aaashleyk), showing a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how the family ‘Jungkook-ified’ Andrew by drawing the pop star’s famously known hand tattoos and suggesting that he needed a lip ring as well. For his final look, Andrew also showed up with Jungkook’s eyebrow and ear piercings. 

Fans react to the winner being crowned for the lookalike contest

While some instantly approved the decision with comments like “Andrew is actually the ONLY one who looked like jungkook, the others literally have no similarity at all,” others who probably never tracked the siblings’ years-old digital footprints were lost why this win was especially gaining momentous traction online.

“If Andrew didn’t win, I would have hosted another one to make sure he won,” someone else wrote in the comments. Others quipped along the lines of how Jungkook had returned from the military and “Kinda crazy how they let Jungkook win his own lookalike competition.”

Those familiar with Andrew’s journey, definitely agreed with how the contest “cooked” with its final decision, especially since “the lore runs deep.” Who could’ve known that this was years in the making at a time when lookalike contests weren’t a norm?
