Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said in Bangalore that the voters have given the nation a stable government after a very long time, and now, the government will end laws that are redundant.

Here are the highlights:

  • By giving your support you have placed a stable and strong Government in Delhi, a Government with a complete majority.
  • After a very long time you have given the nation a stable Government. That is why I am here to thank you.
  • When we move to a new house, we clean up the place -- the people of this country did some cleaning up and now we're doing it.
  • We have to end laws that are redundant.
  • All these banks, all this money are not for the rich. That is why we came up with Jan Dhan Yojana.
  • Our mothers and sisters must be able to lead their lives with dignity and contribute to nation-building.
  • Farmers must fill India's granaries but their pockets must also be full so that they can live with dignity.
  • Young people of India want employment - once they have that we will be second to none on the road to development.
  • Young people can't get jobs on degrees alone. They need skills. We are committed to skill development, have set up a separate ministry.
  • I am begging my countrymen to give us 100 hours of their time each year, 2 hours a week. We'll use that for our safai abhiyaan (cleanliness campaign)
  • When we go to Singapore from Dubai, we marvel at how clean those places are. Ask yourselves, if the people of this country think we will not litter and keep our surroundings clean, can anyone else come and do it? Na Gandagi Karoonga, Na Karne Doonga (Won't dirty my country, won't let anyone else dirty it too)
  • We must rid India of filth, the whole world should realise India is changing and it begins with cleanliness.
  • When guests come to our house, we clean the room where they'll be seated first.
  • Cleanliness campaign across the country from October 2.
  • If we want to change India then we must change how it looks too.
  • Take one step towards cleanliness, our country will hold its head up high in the world.
  • People sometimes say... you are the PM, who do you bother about these small things?
  • The small works of the common man will take India to new heights.
