BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, along with party president Rajnath Singh and senior leader Arun Jaitley, attended an event organised by Baba Ramdev's trust in Delhi today.
The highlights of Mr Modi's speech:
2014 polls will destroy all past poll traditions
This is the first time an election has become a movement
Ramdev's dedication has also contributed majorly to this movement
Ramdev focused on his mission for this country, not for himself
It's painful that we are having to fight for the pride of our country
ISRO scientists have successfully launched GSLV D-5, I congratulate them
This country has a lot of potential
I'm not a negative person, I don't know disappointment
My dictionary doesn't have the word 'disappointment' in it
This country has picked up a person who used to sell tea on train bogeys on its shoulders
My mother used to wash utensils, she raised her children so well without being disappointed
We used to sit as a family, take out cotton from cotton buds, sell it the next day and earn some money
A person who has grown up in pain, doesn't have to make long journeys to understand other people's pain
This pain gives us the push and inspiration to work harder for our people
For this election, the focus is on development which is a good start and should continue
Ramdev has now realized how politicians behave
They welcome someone at the airport and then later come and attack the same person in the night
Must check track record of politicians, don't take them at face value
Demographic dividend converted into demographic disaster
Don't think anything can be a bigger tragedy for this country and its youth
We need to take care of our animals and birds
In Gujarat, we perform cataract operations on animals
There has been an 86 per cent increase in milk production in Gujarat
Opposition thought of pink revolution
For them pink revolution meant, kill animals and birds, produce more mutton which by the way is pink in colour
Tell me what will help in the development of this country, animals and birds or mutton?
We don't need leaders from Mars to bring about development in this country
We have to learn from China and focus on development of skills
Today sand is also exported out of India
This country doesn't want promises, it needs motives and dedication
This country needs strong will and dedication
Taxation system is becoming a burden for the common man
There is reform needed and BJP is working very seriously on this
Systems must make things simpler
Small efforts can bring about big changes
If BJP forms government, solutions will be found and new ways will be derived to govern the country
Industry has to be given the license to sort out its own issues
Government shouldn't interfere at every step
From day 1, governments are only concerned about elections
Solutions can be found for every problem
BJP and I will try our best to fulfill all expectations
We are a Bahuratna Vasundhara
We support technology, science because we must be capable to stand up to the world
I congratulate Ramdev, he has started a revolution on what change should be in the nation
