Here are the highlights of his speech:
- I am happy to be here on this day, the birth anniversary of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan: Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Mumbai.
- A vibrant port sector is very important for a nation blessed with long coastlines.
- Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in 15 months has done what was not done in ten years. He's given new strength and speed to port sector.
- Now port development is not enough. That is why port led development is the key. Ports must have great connectivity.
- Urban growth is not burden but opportunity.
- Two sectors are going to be important in this century- coastal sector and space. Be it space and sea, we need to be moving at a quick pace: PM Modi.
- Our power sector needs to be stronger.
- We are encouraging 'Sagar Mala project' to connect our port services. It was Atal Bihari Vajpayee's idea which we are taking forward.
- Suresh Prabhu has done a wonderful work in the Railway Ministry.
- We can help our farmers through various activities.
- We know who got the Bharat Ratna when. But they did not give the Bharat Ratna to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.
- Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar faced so many challenges but there was no bitterness in him. He is a Maha Purush.
- Babasaheb Ambedkar is an inspiration not just for one community but for the entire world.
- World knows Martin Luther King but not Babasaheb Ambedkar.
- States with most Dalits and tribals have voted in favour of the BJP.
- If there had been no Ambedkar, where would Modi be?
- People are spreading lies that we will end reservation.
- November 26 will be marked as Constitution Day. People must know about our Constitution, how it was made.
