PM Modi addresses a public meeting in Prachi:
- This is my second day of campaigning for the Gujarat elections. I have travelled to Saurashtra and South Gujarat. The enthusiasm is remarkable. I can see so many women who have come to bless us
- If there was no Sardar Patel, the temple in Somnath would never have been possible. Today some people are remembering Somanth, I have to ask them- have you forgotten your history? Your family members, our first PM was not happy with the idea of a temple being built there
- When Dr. Rajendra Prasad was to come to inaugurate the Somnath Temple, Pandit Nehru expressed his displeasure on that. Sardar Patel dreamt about the Narmada but your family did not let that dream fulfil
- Congress is seeking votes of the OBC communities but they should answer why they did not allow OBC Commission to get Constitutional Status for all these years.
- I want to assure you- Congress may try to throw any roadblocks, I am committed to ensure their designs fail.
- My remaining in power is bad news for those who have looted the nation for 70 long years
- I want to ask the Congress. What is it that you have against our army? The demand for OROP was pending for forty long years. Why did successive Congress governments do nothing about that
- When elections were approaching, they announced a meagre Rs. 500 crore for OROP when the real requirement was a lot higher. This was misleading of the highest order
- There is a Government in Delhi that is for the poor. It is working continuously for the poor
- Our Sagarmala and Bharatmala project will transform the coastal economy and benefit people living on our coasts
