Narendra Modi targets Rahul Gandhi, Congress at BJP's national council address: highlights

New Delhi: Today is the third and final day of the Bhartiya Janata Party's (BJP) strategy conclave for 2014. Narendra Modi speaks at the meet in Delhi.

Here are the highlights:

• Since two days, we have discussed in detail the condition of the country and BJP's political programmes.
• There have been many elections since independence but the 2014 elections is different from every side.
• The condition of India is worse than ever before.
• The corruption that is rampant now, has not been seen before.
• This is not an election to change the government, but it is an election of hope and change.
• the 2014 election is the election to bring India to the same summit that Vajpayee ji had brought us to before.
• They are trying to save the party and we are trying to save the country.
• This is the difference in the 2014 elections.
• Congress representatives across the country came to Delhi with hope. They were told that the Congress PM candidate will be disclosed.
  
• Congress workers came for a PM, went home with 3 cylinders instead.
• Loktantrik example was cited for not nominating PM candidate. Is it true?
• Noone chose Manmohan Singh as PM, they chose Sonia Gandhi but Ms Gandhi nominated Dr Singh. 
• There can be many reasons to run from elections for MS Gandhi, I see political reasons but i see one more reason.
• When failure is so clear, will a mother sacrifice her own son?
• Nowadays, there is a lot of hospitality of tea vendors in the country.
• Their reason for running away from elections can be one more, the way of life that they lead, it influences their decisions.
• They consider it a question of shame to fight against a tea vendor.
• Woh naamdaar hain aur main kaamdaar hoon.
• A man who used to sell tea and whose mother used to clean people's utensils, how will they fight against a person like that.
• On October 27, in the midst of bomb explosions, the people who stood there - reminds me of what inspired martyrs  to sacrifice themselves for India's independence.
• People had sacrificed their lives for independence, now they're clamouring for good governance.
• That is the reason why hundreds are joining the BJP, approach us seeking to work for us.
• Lakhs of people who have no ties with the BJP are concerned with the party.
• It is our belief, that every part of India should progress equally.
• We have heard a lot about concern for poor and progress.
• What was wrong in our policies that there is progress taking place in west India but entire east is in disarray.
• The western part of the country is moving towards the path of development.
  
• If the country has to become stronger, then regional aspirations should not be thought of as a roadbloack.
• Regional aspirations can become an opportunity to progress rather than a hindrance.
• We are a federal nation and it cannot be just adhered to as something constitutional.
• We need to respect it in letter and spirit.
• As a CM, I completely understand the importance of the federal strength of the nation.
• All the chief ministers and the prime minister should move together to make the nation stronger.
• If we can do this, we can help our nation top progress further.
• There is bad governance in certain areas in the country, We need to focus on good governance.
• Good governance is for the poor and not the rich.
• If there is bad governance, a poor man's son will not get education.
• We need to decide that whether we should believe in a tape recorders voice or the track record?
• We don't want 'bills', we need political will. Sirf dill nahi chahiya, political will chahiye.
• We have heard a lot about 'act' not the country needs 'action'.
  
• In the last 10 years, the prime minister has made a committee for every issue.
• We don't need committees, we need commitment.
  
• Mahatma Gandhi used to call India the nation of villages.
  
• The thing for which we can be proud of, are the women of the country.
• Women should be empowered. They should be educated and financially independents and secure.
• If in the coming decades, we want to keep India at the forefront, We need to make India strong with technological advance.
• The last thing that is important is the youth of the country. India is the youngest country in the world.
• If we had the right policies our youth would not only improve the nation but influence the world.
• Is the influence of western culture destroying the youth of our nation? 
• Drugs, narcotics are affecting the youth of this country
• Democracy is the biggest asset of our nation
• Every mother wants her son to study and become successful. We need to stress on education.
• We need to make our democracy participative and not just representative, we need to think how we can make democratic systems stronger.
• We are creators of knowledge, India has always done well in the era of science.
• Congress party ek soch hain...this was said at AICC.
• Even I believe that's true. bina soch ke koi andolan ho sakta hain, na koi dhal.
• The country only knows that poora congress party soch main padi hui hain.
• I want to tell Indians that you have chosen leaders, I want to request my countrymen that you have 60 years to a leader, now give 60 months to a servant.
• Price rise is the biggest problem for a country. Can there be no solution to this?
• We do not have real-time data. We did not have real time data on the agriculture produce.
• We need to make a mechanism to measure data in real time. there should be real time data for need and demand and then we can decide what is to be imported and exported.
• Farmers should not be exploited. For black market, there should be special courts.
• If we take these steps, BJP will be able to stop price rise.
• Skill development should be done and it should be need base.
• We will be able to fight the war against poverty this way.
• We do not have human resource planning.
• If we plan human power strength now itself, we will be able to achieve development in coming years.
• It is the commitment of every BJP party worker that we will work to realise the dreams of Vajpayee ji.
• Money looted from our country will be brought back and given to people of the country.
• We cannot work by ourselves in the current globalization. We need to develop infrastructure.
• Agro infrastructure, gas grids, optical fibre net should be developed.
• We can make our place in this world.
• Japan brought the concept of bullet trains. We have such a huge railway line, why are we not applying it there too.
• We should have 4 railway universities that will give us the youth who will help us achieve that.
• After 8-9 years, it will be 75 years of India's independence.
• We should greet it with a new beginning in this country.
• In the world, we cannot show our face because of what is happening to the women in our country.
• Beti bachao, Beti padao should be our mission.
• There is no bigger dishonor that female foeticide
• We should see the women of our country as nation builder and not home maker.
• Urbanization should be seen as an opportunity and should be accepted as part of development.
• Why should we not develop 100 new cities in India? Why shouldn't there be a walk to work concept? Specialised cities like sports cities.
  
• There should be concept of twin cities, a net of cities in our country.
• Can't the poor hope to have their own homes?
• We need to provide shelter to every poor in the country.
  
• Per drop, more crop concept should be realized.
• Can't there be a white revolution in every city? And fulfil the milk requirements of the state?
  
• To make the farmers stronger, we need to work in this direction and we can change the current situation.
• There is no fuel in factories and they are closed because of that.
• There should be no compromise in education. Primary education should be strengthened.
• There should be an IIT, IIM and AIIMS in every city in the country.
• We worry about disease but not health. We need health insurance  for everyone.
• If we want a place of prestige in the global forum, we have to have our own branding.
• Tourism has a lot of power...terrorism divides, tourism unites.
• My Idea of India:
  Satyamev Jayate
  Vasudheva Kutambakam
  Sarva Panth Samabhav
  Sarve bhavantu Sukhinah, sarve santu niramaya...
• With the blessings of Advaniji, we will go to our constituencies... electoral victory is born in polling booths.
• Protect polling booths... be determined to win each polling booth...
  
• I thank the national leadership that an ordinary man like me has been entrusted with this responsibility... tell everyone, a "chaiwallah" is fighting the elections. Modi doesn't have any wealth and even the poorest would contribute.
