While speaking to news agency ANI, he said, “2,500 businessmen involved in different occupations will provide discounts ranging between 10% to 100%... 110 auto-rickshaws will give 100% discount on that day. We appeal it every year, but we don't force anyone for any kind of offer. They are connected to us and PM Modi with their will... every shop has its own scheme--what to discount, how much discount--it's their decision. It's voluntary; we just connect them with the people.” Joining the celebration, the Auto Union in Surat will offer free rides a day ahead of PM Modi's birthday. Raju Bhandari, the union president, said, “We will celebrate as seva day (service day), where individual auto drivers are giving [rides for free]. Why not do it as a united move? Hence, we will take passengers for free, and that is on Monday, September 16, a day ahead of Narendra Modi's birthday.”

PM Modi's plan on his birthday

The Prime Minister will be visiting Odisha to initiate the 'Subhadra Yojana.' BJP MP Sambit Patra had earlier said, "During the election campaign, PM Modi provided a 'Modi Guarantee' in Odisha, promising that if the BJP formed the government, every woman would receive 50,000 over five years. The process begins on September 17, with around 1 crore 30 lakh women set to receive the first installment of 5,000 through the Subhadra Yojana. PM Modi will release this first installment."

Schools and colleges in Bhubaneswar will remain closed during the visit. PM Modi will also hand over keys to PMAY beneficiaries and launch the Awaas 2024 App, alongside other housing-related initiatives.
