Here are the highlights of his speech:
- Those who sit in air-conditioned rooms in Delhi and give advice to the nation, they don't know why so many people come in the scorching sun to bless us.
- This is no election, this is only love. I salute you that you have come to encourage us.
- Country is changing and you have come to accelerate it.
- I am very, very, very thankful to you for that.
- In our country if a government spends more than 25 days in office, people start raising questions.
- It happened to me too. Not a week had gone, but different questions were raised to me.
- I had not even seen my office nor the Parliament. But they were asking my account.
- There are some people who speak of democracy but they are not ready to accept a government chosen by the people.
- They keep thinking where did he come from. I tell them, he has come from this land, among these people.
- And that is why he wants to work for these people. And over two years I have only worked for these small people.
- They criticise me for not doing something big.
- Past governments have done many big things, for big people and taken big advantages. Should I do that sin too?
- I may do fewer things but I'll never take the country on the wrong road.
