Shri Modi addresses people across 53 places in Gujarat through 3D projection technology

I can see a BJP storm in these elections! Difficult for the Congress to survive in these elections!” says Shri Modi

People angry because Congress has only indulged in negative politics: CM

If Congress thinks public memory is short they are mistaken. Those times have gone. People know everything: Shri Modi

It is very sad that the Prime Minister came, Madam Sonia ji came and they too used language that hurt people of Gujarat: Shri Modi

Mrs. Sonia Gandhi does not know the nation's history, Gujarat's history or Gujarat's geography. She said 57 Talukas of Gujarat are in Dark Zones. Do you not know that all dark zones are removed? Questions Shri Modi

Hearing the PM speak of majority-minority makes every Gujarati feel sad. This politics ruined the nation. Let us talk of development. Compete on the issue of development but you lack the courage to do that: CM

 

 

History was created yet again on the evening of Monday 10th December 2012 when Shri Narendra Modi addressed people across 53 places of Gujarat through 3D projection technology. In a comprehensive speech he listed out the glorious path of development that Gujarat has adopted for the last 11 years and criticized the Congress’ anti-Gujarat attitude.

Here are the highlights of Shri Modi’s speech to people across 53 places.

 

Shri Modi on BJP prospects in the 2012 Gujarat Vidhan Sabha elections:

“Tomorrow campaigning will stop in Saurashtra and South Gujarat.Have covered all parts of Gujarat. Interacted with people in 3D too.I am thankful & proud of the fact that these polls fought by every Gujarati. I can see a BJP storm in these elections! Difficult for the Congress to survive in these elections!”

 

Reason for Congress’ historic defeat:

“People angry because Congress has only indulged in negative politics. They have opposed everything, defamed Gujarat in the eyes of the world!”

“Those who do not know how many districts are there in Gujarat, these leaders are coming to Gujarat.Election tourism is going on in the Congress”

“If Congress thinks public memory is short they are mistaken. Those times have gone. People know everything.”

“People will vote & give an answer to your lies. Atleast enter the filed with true facts.”

 

On Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi’s visit to Gujarat:

“It is very sad that the Prime Minister came, Madam Sonia ji came and they too used language that hurt people of Gujarat! I thought we will have a positive talk on what Delhi can do for Gujarat but sadly even the nation’s PM is not above votebank politics!”

“Mrs. Sonia Gandhi does not know the nation's history, Gujarat's history or Gujarat's geography.She said 57 Talukas of Gujarat are in Dark Zones. Do you not know that all dark zones are removed? This is due to our advances in irrigation. Your own Govt noted rise in Gujarat’s water table from 3m to 13. Dark zones removed because we have conserved every drop of water.”

“What is Congress' vision for Gujarat's future? What is their Government doing for Gujarat? They are not talking of this. Everyday their work is to create a false image of Gujarat.”

“Hearing the PM speak of majority-minority makes every Gujarati feel sad. This politics ruined the nation. Let us talk of development. Compete on the issue of development but you lack the courage to do that.”

“Mrs. Sonia Gandhi said no development. PM said development is there but due to Central Government in Delhi, see these contradictions”

 

CM slams Congress for cheating the people, exposes its true nature

“The Union Urban Development Minister said we never promised ‘Ghar nu Ghar’. You did not win & started cheating!”

“Sheila Dixit herself said BJP wins in Guj due to development when she came here she said there is no development.”

“Congress is not interested in Gujarat's development. Sonia ji said Congress is Seva Bhavi party- its a Meva Bhav party. There is no trait of Seva in the Congress.”

 

Shri Modi shatters Mrs. Sonia Gandhi’s comments on power situation in Gujarat:

“Mrs. Sonia Gandhi said farmers do not get power in Gujarat. During your rule here people didn’t get power while eating, students could not even study. Three Months back nineteen states, 60 crore people were in darkness. That time Gujarat has uninterrupted power, world noted it. You can ask your Government, who has won maximum awards for power sector? Most have been won by Gujarat.”

 

Strong reply by Shri Narendra Modi on Prime Minister’s statements that Gujarat is unsafe:

“PM said Gujarat is unsafe! He should remember that when Congress was in power that time there were frequent disturbances all over the state. Half of Gujarat used to be forced to live under curfew. Parents didn’t know if their child would come home in the evening.”

“If there is one state moving on path of peace, unity, brotherhood it is Gujarat. And then you bring votebank politics.”

“Think many times before defaming Gujarat. Pradhan Mantri ji your Govt has left no stone unturned to defame Gujarat.”

 

CM punctures lies by UPA Chairperson that education levels in Gujarat are poor:

“Enrollment rates were low & drop out rates were very high in Congress times. Your own Government says -Gujarat has most improvement in primary education. And you talk of education here but you give money to all states but we don’t get a penny.”

 

Shri Modi shares other facts on Gujarat’s development:

“Since I was a child I used to read Gogha-Dahej ferry service would come but nothing happened. Work is on at quick pace now!”

“In Bhavnagar they spread lies on Kalpasar. First answer on Narmada –the Shilanyas of the project was by done Nehru but for 26 years nothing happened!For 9 years nothing happened under Mrs. Indira Gandhi. A Rs. 6000 crore project became worth Rs. 56,000 crore. Pradhan Mantri ji answer why is your Government obstructing the putting of gates on Narmada?If there is someone who will bring Kalpasar it is us”

The Chief Minster exposed the double standards of the Congress on several other issues such as the UPA’s decision to enforce a cotton export ban, the lies by the UPA on Gauchar lands and the development of Gujarat’s coasts over the last 11 years.

Shri Modi also spoke about the qualitative different Sakhi Mandals have made in the lives of women and the 108 ambulance services.

He made a strong appeal to the voters to elect the BJP in the upcoming elections. The 3D interaction generated a phenomenal response across all the venues. A large number of people came to the venues to extend their support to Shri Modi and the BJP.

Your Excellency President Irfan Ali,
Prime Minister Mark Philips,
Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo,
Former President Donald Ramotar,
Members of the Guyanese Cabinet,
Members of the Indo-Guyanese Community,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Namaskar!

Seetaram !

I am delighted to be with all of you today.First of all, I want to thank President Irfan Ali for joining us.I am deeply touched by the love and affection given to me since my arrival.I thank President Ali for opening the doors of his home to me.

I thank his family for their warmth and kindness. The spirit of hospitality is at the heart of our culture. I could feel that, over the last two days. With President Ali and his grandmother, we also planted a tree. It is part of our initiative, "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam", that is, "a tree for mother”. It was an emotional moment that I will always remember.

Friends,

I was deeply honoured to receive the ‘Order of Excellence’, the highest national award of Guyana. I thank the people of Guyana for this gesture. This is an honour of 1.4 billion Indians. It is the recognition of the 3 lakh strong Indo-Guyanese community and their contributions to the development of Guyana.

Friends,

I have great memories of visiting your wonderful country over two decades ago. At that time, I held no official position. I came to Guyana as a traveller, full of curiosity. Now, I have returned to this land of many rivers as the Prime Minister of India. A lot of things have changed between then and now. But the love and affection of my Guyanese brothers and sisters remains the same! My experience has reaffirmed - you can take an Indian out of India, but you cannot take India out of an Indian.

Friends,

Today, I visited the India Arrival Monument. It brings to life, the long and difficult journey of your ancestors nearly two centuries ago. They came from different parts of India. They brought with them different cultures, languages and traditions. Over time, they made this new land their home. Today, these languages, stories and traditions are part of the rich culture of Guyana.

I salute the spirit of the Indo-Guyanese community. You fought for freedom and democracy. You have worked to make Guyana one of the fastest growing economies. From humble beginnings you have risen to the top. Shri Cheddi Jagan used to say: "It matters not what a person is born, but who they choose to be.”He also lived these words. The son of a family of labourers, he went on to become a leader of global stature.

President Irfan Ali, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, former President Donald Ramotar, they are all Ambassadors of the Indo Guyanese community. Joseph Ruhomon, one of the earliest Indo-Guyanese intellectuals, Ramcharitar Lalla, one of the first Indo-Guyanese poets, Shana Yardan, the renowned woman poet, Many such Indo-Guyanese made an impact on academics and arts, music and medicine.

Friends,

Our commonalities provide a strong foundation to our friendship. Three things, in particular, connect India and Guyana deeply. Culture, cuisine and cricket! Just a couple of weeks ago, I am sure you all celebrated Diwali. And in a few months, when India celebrates Holi, Guyana will celebrate Phagwa.

This year, the Diwali was special as Ram Lalla returned to Ayodhya after 500 years. People in India remember that the holy water and shilas from Guyana were also sent to build the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Despite being oceans apart, your cultural connection with Mother India is strong.

I could feel this when I visited the Arya Samaj Monument and Saraswati Vidya Niketan School earlier today. Both India and Guyana are proud of our rich and diverse culture. We see diversity as something to be celebrated, not just accommodated. Our countries are showing how cultural diversity is our strength.

Friends,

Wherever people of India go, they take one important thing along with them. The food! The Indo-Guyanese community also has a unique food tradition which has both Indian and Guyanese elements. I am aware that Dhal Puri is popular here! The seven-curry meal that I had at President Ali’s home was delicious. It will remain a fond memory for me.

Friends,

The love for cricket also binds our nations strongly. It is not just a sport. It is a way of life, deeply embedded in our national identity. The Providence National Cricket Stadium in Guyana stands as a symbol of our friendship.

Kanhai, Kalicharan, Chanderpaul are all well-known names in India. Clive Lloyd and his team have been a favourite of many generations. Young players from this region also have a huge fan base in India. Some of these great cricketers are here with us today. Many of our cricket fans enjoyed the T-20 World Cup that you hosted this year.

Your cheers for the ‘Team in Blue’ at their match in Guyana could be heard even back home in India!

Friends,

This morning, I had the honour of addressing the Guyanese Parliament. Coming from the Mother of Democracy, I felt the spiritual connect with one of the most vibrant democracies in the Caribbean region. We have a shared history that binds us together. Common struggle against colonial rule, love for democratic values, And, respect for diversity.

We have a shared future that we want to create. Aspirations for growth and development, Commitment towards economy and ecology, And, belief in a just and inclusive world order.

Friends,

I know the people of Guyana are well-wishers of India. You would be closely watching the progress being made in India. India’s journey over the past decade has been one of scale, speed and sustainability.

In just 10 years, India has grown from the tenth largest economy to the fifth largest. And, soon, we will become the third-largest. Our youth have made us the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world. India is a global hub for e-commerce, AI, fintech, agriculture, technology and more.

We have reached Mars and the Moon. From highways to i-ways, airways to railways, we are building state of art infrastructure. We have a strong service sector. Now, we are also becoming stronger in manufacturing. India has become the second largest mobile manufacturer in the world.

Friends,

India’s growth has not only been inspirational but also inclusive. Our digital public infrastructure is empowering the poor. We opened over 500 million bank accounts for the people. We connected these bank accounts with digital identity and mobiles. Due to this, people receive assistance directly in their bank accounts. Ayushman Bharat is the world’s largest free health insurance scheme. It is benefiting over 500 million people.

We have built over 30 million homes for those in need. In just one decade, we have lifted 250 million people out of poverty. Even among the poor, our initiatives have benefited women the most. Millions of women are becoming grassroots entrepreneurs, generating jobs and opportunities.

Friends,

While all this massive growth was happening, we also focused on sustainability. In just a decade, our solar energy capacity grew 30-fold ! Can you imagine ?We have moved towards green mobility, with 20 percent ethanol blending in petrol.

At the international level too, we have played a central role in many initiatives to combat climate change. The International Solar Alliance, The Global Biofuels Alliance, The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Many of these initiatives have a special focus on empowering the Global South.

We have also championed the International Big Cat Alliance. Guyana, with its majestic Jaguars, also stands to benefit from this.

Friends,

Last year, we had hosted President Irfaan Ali as the Chief Guest of the Pravasi Bhartiya Divas. We also received Prime Minister Mark Phillips and Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo in India. Together, we have worked to strengthen bilateral cooperation in many areas.

Today, we have agreed to widen the scope of our collaboration -from energy to enterprise,Ayurveda to agriculture, infrastructure to innovation, healthcare to human resources, anddata to development. Our partnership also holds significant value for the wider region. The second India-CARICOM summit held yesterday is testament to the same.

As members of the United Nations, we both believe in reformed multilateralism. As developing countries, we understand the power of the Global South. We seek strategic autonomy and support inclusive development. We prioritize sustainable development and climate justice. And, we continue to call for dialogue and diplomacy to address global crises.

Friends,

I always call our diaspora the Rashtradoots. An Ambassador is a Rajdoot, but for me you are all Rashtradoots. They are Ambassadors of Indian culture and values. It is said that no worldly pleasure can compare to the comfort of a mother’s lap.

You, the Indo-Guyanese community, are doubly blessed. You have Guyana as your motherland and Bharat Mata as your ancestral land. Today, when India is a land of opportunities, each one of you can play a bigger role in connecting our two countries.

Friends,

Bharat Ko Janiye Quiz has been launched. I call upon you to participate. Also encourage your friends from Guyana. It will be a good opportunity to understand India, its values, culture and diversity.

Friends,

Next year, from 13 January to 26 February, Maha Kumbh will be held at Prayagraj. I invite you to attend this gathering with families and friends. You can travel to Basti or Gonda, from where many of you came. You can also visit the Ram Temple at Ayodhya. There is another invite.

It is for the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas that will be held in Bhubaneshwar in January. If you come, you can also take the blessings of Mahaprabhu Jagannath in Puri. Now with so many events and invitations, I hope to see many of you in India soon. Once again, thank you all for the love and affection you have shown me.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

And special thanks to my friend Ali. Thanks a lot.
