But luckily it could not cause much damage. He added that this cyclone was rendered ineffective as there is a huge cyclone of change in this country which will prevent any other cyclone. Shri Modi said that the world is laughing at us as the Central Government is searching for gold because of someone’s dream. He asked the Central Government whether they know that amount of Black Money stashed in Swiss Banks is greater than 1000 tonnes of gold. Shri Modi added that if that Black Money from foreign banks is brought back, the Government will not have to search for Gold like this.

He said that there are clear signs that the people of Tamil Nadu have also decided to change the Government at the centre. He added that if a BJP led government is formed at the centre it will leave no stone unturned for the development of Tamil Nadu.
