Here are the highlights of what he has said:
- We always need to remember the faith that has been placed in us. We have been given a majority by the people.
- Strong opposition in Parliament is beneficial.
- We have been assured uranium supply for five years from Canada.
- These are treaties which are extremely beneficial.
- In the coming days, these treaties will have a massive impact on the deevlopment.
- In the atomic energy map we have created a space for ourselves.
- In the nuclear energy sector, we have been dependent.
- When Sushmaji (Swaraj) speaks in the Parliament, you will get more details.
- Do not worry about whether media shows your face. Focus on connecting with the farmers.
- In Yemen, there was bombardment for 24 hours. They were ready to kill. And everyday, for two hours, we got the bombing stopped and we evacuated Indians.
- Who were these people in Yemen? They were all labourers and nurses.
- A minister of the government went there, and I salute General VK Singh for his efforts.
- You might have seen on social media, if someone tweets Sushmaji, she replies even if it is at 1 am.
- Could you have imagined or ever seen the Ministry of External Affairs working like that?
- You might have noticed during the Congress regime, that Railways always focused on the sectors of the rich.
- Was the country corruption-ridden or not? It is not there anymore. Am I wrong in saying that?
- We are workers of the BJP. There is nothing more fortunate.
- Since the day I became Prime Minister, this has been a government for the poor.
- You place your trust in the people and no one else.
- The path we have to take is that you interact directly with the people, and nothing else.
- If you do this, you will see that the people will elevate you to great heights.
- If I say that the previous governments are responsible for homelessness, am I wrong?
- I seek a house for the poor, electricity, toilets, education for kids. Are the poor not entitled to these?
- The money we save goes into benefiting the poor.
- We will establish more hospitals than previous governments.
- Why am I insistent on building toilets? It is for our mothers and sisters.
- In the 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao' whose daughters are we educating? These are the girls of minorities and the poor, who are deprived of education and their rights.
- If my Muslim daughters are uneducated, our country cannot develop.
- I am the Prime Minister, and as Prime Minister, I demand something - beti bachao - no more female foeticide.
- If I had said farmers will get a pension, I am lauded. But if I say everyone will be entitled to pension, no one cares.
- I urge you to please give up your gas subsidy.
- We save 200 crore rupees if 4 lakh people give up their subsidy.
- This money will not go into the government's treasury.
- This money will go towards providing gas cylinders to the poor people.
- We will save the forests. If one crore people give up their subsidies, one crore poor people will move from wood burning chulhas to gas stoves.
- Politics only focuses on what resources the government has and how and to whom it should be distributed.
- It is not politics that can save a nation but national service.
- I salute the banks, who have made the PM Jan Dhan Yojana a success.
- Students were not being granted loans. We have made provisions so that students will not be hassled because of the paucity of funds.
- The neo-middle classes are the most ambitious. They do not want to go to the jhopdis.
- They may not be able to sit on par with the rich, but they want to live with dignity.
- We want to increase the purchasing power in the villages. But the money spent should not be unproductive.
- In the villages you will now begin to see the changes.
- The purchasing power of the villages will increase and it will boost the economy.
- We have announced that farmers with over 33 per cent crop loss will be eligible for compensation.
- On television, they show you colour images side-by-side with black and white images. That's because most have forgotten what black and white looks like. That is what you also need to do - remind the people how things were and then tell them what you have done.
- We have deposited 14,000 crore rupees in the banks, and savings are now becoming a habit.
- On the occasion of Deen Dayal Upadhyay's birth centenary, make people trust you, that are working for the poor.
- Leakage in schemes is reducing.
- If one rupee comes from Delhi, only 15 paise reaches the beneficiary.
- Some people have decided that they will say nothing positive about the government. Let us not focus on them. It is their livelihood.
- Please focus on those who want to hear and believe in the positive.
