I am standing before you with my life which has been an open chapter. I am working for the good of Gujarat. In my heart and mind only Gujarat lives. As it is I don't have to think of anything else. I don't have anybody behind me or ahead of me. Do I have to worry about admissions of my children? Do I have to worry about my sons or sons-in-law? I am quite happy. I don't have any other work but to serve Gujarat and 5.5 crore Gujaratis are members of my family. Their pain is my pain and 5.5 crore Gujaratis' pleasure is my pleasure. With this feeling I have embarked upon a mission. I want to bring fundamental changes in Gujarat and make it world class. Gujarat needs security and stable government.
My friends in the Congress are not ready to fight this election on the issue of development. Will you do me a favour with love? If Congress guys complain to you that this is not done, that is unfinished, then ask them a question. Ask them for how many years the Congress ruled Gujarat. They ruled for 45 years. Ask them how many years did Modi rule? Only six. Then ask them who stopped you from building hospitals? Did Modi break your hospitals? My dear friends did not do anything for 45 years and now come to us asking for accountability of the last six years. Wasn't Mother Narmada flowing before me also? Who stopped them from bringing waters of Narmada to Botad? Who stopped them from getting electricity for 24 hours? We got it because we know it's the need of the poor people.
Gujarat is known for its development in India. My life is transparent and this government is scam-free. We haven't faced even one allegation. As it is, why do I need to collect? I roam around with one or two rupees. These Congressmen are roaming around with a slogan. They are saying 'Chakde Gujarat'. I told my people, ask the Congressmen what do you mean by Chakde Gujarat? It came from which language? They were clueless. Is it Italian? Do you know the meaning of it? You will be surprised to know if you ask 100 Congressmen the meaning of it. Nobody is aware of it. They have arrived with the election slogan without knowing its meaning. They want to fool you. I will tell you the meaning. I'll teach them. In our area when a truck gets stuck on the roads and when people push it from the pits they say, 'haisho, haisho'. Chakde is a slogan to use force to put the vehicle back on tracks.
The Congress's vehicle is stuck and will not get back on tracks.
Our slogan is 'Jitega Gujarat'. It's the determination of 5.5 crore Gujaratis to make Gujarat victorious. No might of the world can stop Gujarat from being victorious. On December 11, you push the button on the symbol of lotus and let the BJP win to keep continuing the development mission of Gujarat.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai!
