Narendra Modi addresses first rally as BJP campaign chief: Highlights

• The survivors who have been rescued from Uttarakhand, I witnessed the natural disaster there and I could feel their pain
• The tragedy in Uttarakhand is so distressing, hundreds of pilgrims had to lose their lives, their families
• The people of Uttarakhand have lost everything, the villages have been destroyed
• I promise the Uttarakhand people, this country will stand with them, shoulder to shoulder
• To bring Uttarakhand out of this present situation, I assure people of Uttarakhand that the nation will stand by its side

About Dr Shyama Prasad (The founder of Jan Sangh)

• People of this country have sacrificed a lot for the nation, but Congress does not accept the sacrifices they made
• Dr Shyama Prasad died for the country, nobody recognised his sacrifice, people were not told the truth about his death
• The concepts he (Dr.Shyama Prasad) had for cottage industries, PSU's etc. are valid even today
• The Congress government in Delhi must not even be aware of this great person
• The Congress government in Delhi couldn't understand the plight of the mother who was weeping for her son

About the youth from Kashmir

• Youth of this country need opportunities
• Young girls from Kashmir are moving to Kota for education, that shows that they want to contribute to the growth and development of this country
• I welcome the youth of Kashmir, their move will not only benefit them but also their families
• If in 2004, Vajpayee government would have been formed, rights of Kashmiri Pandits would have been protected
• If Vajpayee's government had returned to power Kashmiri Pandits would have got justice, Kashmiris would have been in step with other Indians

Targets Congress

• Italy High Commission had to be summoned only after which the Marines were sent back, what will you turn this country into
• This country is not safe in the hands of Congress
• If country is not safe, if the people of this country are not safe then how will we develop this country?
• We cannot put this country into crisis
• For the future of this country and the bright future for the youth of this country we have to bring a Congress-free governance
• If you all remember there was an ad that would play - I said "Bharat ke Nirman mein shak hai mera', UPA government removed the ad
• Crores of rupees have been wasted in Congress' rule, they even had to withdraw their ad on Bharat Nirman
• There is a competition between Congress and Rupee
• With the fall in rupee, Congress has also been falling at same level
