Following are the highlights of his address:
- If you promise not to get upset with me, I have one complaint to make. I had come to Palamu in the Lok Sabha elections - I was fighting elections then - there were only half the people there - what is the reason that there are double the number of people here today
- Whenever I meet a world leader, the thing foremost on my mind is how can we benefit the adivasis, the dalits and the economically backward sections of the population in India
- The natural resources you see here, Australia also has - what is the reason that Jharkhand is poor and Australia is rich? This land is rich but the people here have remained poor due to successive governments
- Do you want Jharkhand to progress? If you want that then you must rid Jharkhand of this 'family' politics. How they've looted Jharkhand and they have no shame or remorse
- They knew that if a minister from the Modi government came here they would be exposed... that is why they say we will not let a minister from Delhi come here
- But these people drunk on power must know that there is no place for arrogance in a democracy
- What does a farmer want? If he gets water, he can turn the produce from the land into gold
- I need your blessings to change the situation in Jharkhand. We have spent 60 years in trouble - we have seen the ills of casteism, provincialism. There is just one way out for this country - Development
- I do not make huge announcement - I want to build toilets for the women of this country
- If we rid this country of these small ills, there is no stopping India from growing
- Work that wasn't done in 60 years, we have done that in 60 days
- The poor people are rich at heart.. I'd said they will be able to open zero-balance accounts but they put in their money - these accounts have accumulated 7000 crores
- India is progressing at a rapid pace. Jharkhand cannot lag behind. I'm here to embrace Jharkhand, to do whatever I can for you
- Give me a chance to serve you, to change the future of Jharkhand
How may i help you today
