- Our third term isn’t far. Some people call it Modi 3.0
- Modi 3.0 will strength the foundation of viksit bharat
- Our focus in the last 10 years was on ensuring basic facilities
- From improving ease of living, we will move to improve quality of life
- When we say 25 crore have come out of poverty, they make logicless arguments like why are we giving free ration to 80 crore
- Even when a sick person gets discharged, doctors say give them this food and that.
- It doesn’t take a long time for a middle classes to fall into poverty if just one issue crops up in the family.
- I was a Chief Minister for a long period. So I understand regional aspirations. just like Digvijaya Singh.
- Some people here understand everything.
- In 10 years, UPA used all its powers to do what not in Gujarat. But I don’t have the habit of crying. We struggled through that. We didn’t use to get appointments of (central) ministers.
- Once during a natural disaster, I requested the PM to visit but he went for another programme in south. He said they will check out from the air.

PM Modi accuses Congress of destroying PSUs
- The BSNL that you destroyed is now moving towards made-in-India 5G and 4G
- You spread so many confusions about HAL, today it is doing record manufacturing.
- Statements were made about LIC, the way was same – spread rumours to destroy companies.

- Sold? Which arithmetic do they follow?
- Most PSUs today are giving record returns. Investors are moving towards PSUs today.

PM Modi on Backward Class students
- In higher education. SC student admissions increased 44%, ST by 65%, OBC by 45%,
- When adivasi and backward children become doctor or engineer, a new environment will be created. Our ambition is to solve these basic issues
- I feel pity on you.
- Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas – this is Modi’s guarantee, not just a slogan
PM Modi on President Droupadi Murmu
- For the first time in the country, NDA made an adivasi woman the President
- Yours wasn’t an ideological opposition. You made someone who went from BJP the candidate (for President). Your opposition was against an adivasi woman.
PM Modi on Backward Caste
- SC, ST, OBC in J&K were not given their rights for 7 decades
- Article 370 (I am not spekaing about how many seats we will win) was repealed. Only then, SC ST OBC got those rights that other citizens have been getting
- They did not have Forest Rights Act, Prevention of Atrrcities Act. We repealed Article 370 and gave them the rights
- Valmiki community was not given domicile facilities.
- Local Self Government OBC reservation bill will be passed in Lok Sabha tomorrow.
- They left no stones unturned to defeat Babasaheb’s ideology. They were not prepared to give Bharat Ratna to Babasaheb. It happened when BJP came to power.
PM Modi on Jawaharlal Nehru
- I remember Nehru ji a lot these days
- I quote Pandit Nehru’s letters to Chief Minister: “I dont like reservations and especially in jobs. I am against any step that promotes inefficienty”
- Nehru ji used to say that if SC ST OBC get reservation in jobs, government work standards will fall.
- He had even stopped recruitment. If they got jobs then, and went ahead with promotions, they would have reached here.
- What nehru ji said has been pathhar ki lakeer for Congress
- Your mindset can be understood through such examples
- We want to achieve Viksit Bharat by 2047.
- No place for 20th century mindset, it cant make India a viksit bharat.
- Congress is suddenly speaking about caste. But if had they need, they should look into their own history.
- If Babasaheb wasn’t there, I wonder if SC ST would have been given reservation
- Their mindset is not new, it has been like this since then
- Why was the country angry with Congress? Why did the people get so angry? It’s not because I said so. It’s the fruit of what they had sown.
- I am not saying anyone is bad. When people have said it, why I need to say it?
- In 10 years, we brought the country to no. 5 and Congress wants to preach about economy
- The Congress never gave full reservation to OBC, general quota.
- They never gave Bharat Ratna to BR Ambedkar, but to their own families
- Congress leaders and their ethics shave no guarantee, and they want to question Modi’s guarantees
- The Congress that has murdered democracy, toppled elected government dozens of times, chains democracy behind the bars, tried to lock down the media, tried to break the country
- Now they are giving statements to break North and South.
- This Congress is preaching about democracy and federalism?
- They have left no stones turned to break the country over language
- They allowed terrorism to thrive, left Northeast in backwardness, made maoism a big challenge, handed over land to enemies, stopped modernisation of armed forces
PM Modi on Congress
- In a democracy, you have the right to speak and we have the responsibility to hear
- A party has gone outdated more than one can think
- So they outsourced their functioning
- Such a big party that has ruled for decades has to see such a fall
- I am not happy that this has happened. I feel pity
- In old parliament, attempts were made to stifle the PM’s voice
- I kept hearing each word of yours.
- Today too, you have come prepared to not hear a thing
- But you can’t suppress my voice. The country’s citizens have give power to this voice
- The challenge you received in West Bengal that Congress won’t cross 40 (seats). I pray you can save that

- Special thanks to Mallikarjun Kharge

- I wondered how he has the freedom to speak so much
- Then I realised 2 special commanders were not there
- Mallikarjun Kharge made use of this opportunity
