On the second last day of campaigning in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses a rally in south Delhi's Ambedkar nagar.
Here are the highlights from his speech:
- BJP is going to form a government in Delhi under the leadership of Kiran Bedi.
- Today is the second last day of campaigning in Delhi. In a way, it's my last meeting before the elections.
- I spoke with my party members, I told them that I was unhappy with something. I asked them why during the Lok Sabha elections, when I was also a contestant, there wasn't such a crowd like it is now before the Delhi Assembly elections.
- Amazed at the crowds at my rally. It is unprecedented for rallies of any state unit of a political party.
- My politics has only one direction, only one aim, and only one motto - development.
- And what does development means? It means changing the life of the poor.
- When there's someone sick at home, medicine should be provided.
- A poor man works hard with honestly and after a long day's work, when he comes back home, there isn't even enough space for him to stretch his legs and sit.
- Every one deserves a house of their own.
- I want to change the course of life for the poor.
- Isn't India today known in the whole world? Isn't the whole world talking about our country?
- Should the whole country salute Delhi? For this to happen, we need a stable government in the national capital.
- I have come to urge to you - vote for development, vote for the Bhartiya Janata Party.
- Our opponents are still unable to understand how a poor mother's son has become the Prime Minister.
- When I was fighting Lok Sabha polls from Varanasi, surveys predicted I would lose badly but I won. The survey said that I would lose with a difference of 3 lakh votes.
- The people who claimed to be honest, they have been proved otherwise. What kind of people are they? They preach something and do the completely opposite things.
- For the 84' riots that happened in the country - should we not have an SIT to probe and get justice for the victims and their families. And when we do, they say we're doing it for the elections.
- When the prices of petrol and diesel are reduced, they say we're doing it for the elections.
- No development has taken place in the northeastern India and for the people from there in the last 60 years.
- We do not want to destroy the lives of the city. This is why I want to urge to you, vote for the BJP on the February 7.
- Someone called me and asked me the other day, have you also donated money? He said, a website shows you have given a donation to a political party. When I inquired, I came to know that even Mahatma Gandhi has made a donation, also Obama. What kind of people are these? (attack on AAP's methods of taking donations)
- We're not just commenting against corruption, we are actively combatting it and setting up systems which will root out corruption.
- Our government in the last two months has set a world record in opening bank accounts for the poor of this country.
- I had said on the 15th of August from the Lal Quila that before 26th of January, I want bank accounts for all the poor citizens of this country.
- This is not a government of scams or scamsters or of the people who seek help of scamsters.
- I have come here to ask for your vote.
- I have also become a Delhi'ite and I am equally responsible for the development of this city.
- I want to change the face of Delhi. I have come to seek your blessings. Let me serve you.
