Ahmedabad: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today organised a massive function in Ahmedabad to celebrate the BJP's 33rd foundation day. Here are the highlights from his speech:
On Rahul Gandhi's 'beehive' comment:
- BJP was formed at a time when some selfish elements were ruling in the country. At such a time the BJP decided to be with the people and fight for them.
- BJP was not formed out of hunger for power or to please the power brokers.
- Congress uses constitutional institutions to create trouble for the BJP.
- There is no comparison between the Congress and BJP's character.
On Rahul Gandhi's 'beehive' comment:
- I happened to listen to a speech by a Congress leader two days back, whose words are considered to be very important for that party.
- I was deeply shocked and pained when he compared India to beehive.
- For you, this might be a beehive but for us this country is our mother.
- The hundred crore people of this country are our brothers and sisters.
- This is a sacred land of saints and seers.
- Friends from the Congress, please do not insult our country.
- If you do not understand the language of people of India, go and learn from somewhere.
- But due to your ignorance, do not try to destroy the culture and tradition of this country.
- I want to tell my Congress friends that your arrogance of being in power in Delhi is not going to survive for long.
- Surprising to know that leaders of this country do not know there is a water crisis in the country.
- If Congress leaders are so concerned about the farmers of Gujarat, then without wasting time please ask the central government to allow work on Narmada Dam to start again.
- There are many parties in the world who have not been able to come to power for 80 years but citizens of India brought the BJP to power even before the party reached adulthood.
- The people are tired of the Congress' corruption and false promises.
- We are going to take a vow today... when we take a vow we will have candles in our hands. A sign of going into light from darkness... a sign of blooming lotuses in the country.
- Everyone who splashes mud on the BJP should realise that more you splash mud on us, the more lotuses there will be.
- On the occasion of BJP's 33rd anniversary, we the workers of the party resolve to work hard to relieve people of their hardships.
- On the banks of Sabarmati, in presence of this pure light we resolve to make India the greatest... in leadership of BJP we will establish a government that will work for continuous development of the country.
