Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing a BJP Mega rally in Mathura on the occassion of the government's one year in power.

Mathura: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a mega rally in Mathura to mark one year of his government.

Here are the highlights of his speech:
  • PM Modi begins his speech saying Bharat Mata ki Jai.
  • This is the land of Braj - the land of Sri Krishna. And his message was 'karm karte raho'.
  • Pandit Deen Dayal Updhyay said ' charaiveti, charaiveti, charaiveti' - keep walking tirelessly. 
  • After 30 years you gave a single party the mandate to run the government in Delhi.
  • The day I was chosen as the leader in Parliament - I had said this government is dedicated to the poor.
  • After 365 days, I wanted to acknowledge the source of that inspiration - the person who inspired us to work for the person at the lowest strata of society.
  • Three thinkers have influenced Indian politics and political thought in the last 100 years - Gandhi, Lohia and Deen Dayal Upadhyay.
  • And all three have a common thread in their thought - the poor people of this country, India's villages and its farmers.
  • Would the plight of India have changed if the UPA were in power? PM Modi asks the crowd.
  • The hope that you see all around you, how has this change  come about?
  • If you hadn't taken such a big decision, imagine what the plight of this country would have been.
  • This 'parivartan' isn't due to Modi, it is due to you (the people of India).
  • I will not be Pradhan Mantri (Prime Minister) but Pradhan Santri (prime guard)
  • Have I not kept my promises...Burey din khatam hue ki nahin hue...
  • They were giving away coal blocks to their cronies. Tum bhi looto..hum bhi lootenge.
  • Some people are screaming because for 60 years their voices were heard in the power circles of Delhi.
  • Sab logon ke acchey din aaye, par kuch logon ke burey din aaye...Dilli ke power circles mein dalalon ke liye jagah nahin hain
  • I had not guaranteed 'acchey din' for those who had looted this country.
  • More than 12 crore people get gas subsidy benefits directly in their bank accounts.
  • The middlemen are a thing of the past and days of those who looted the treasury are over.
  • It's been 60 years, more than 3 lakh farmers have committed suicide, I'm not here to discuss who's responsible for that or how many have died.
  • I have pledged that the health of the land of the farmers will be tended to - soil health cards have been introduced.
  • Rajiv Gandhi had said only 15 paise reaches the villages when a rupee is allocated in Delhi. We have removed the middlemen and made such arrangement that 100 paise in that rupee reaches the villages.
  • Issue of farmers' suicide must not be politicized, we must look into why farmers are unhappy after 60 years of Independence.
  • We're making efforts so that farmers of the nation get adequate water and electricity.
  • We have taken decisions to set up, modernise fertilizer plants so that farmers get fertilizers, urea.
  • We have started coating urea with neem. Earlier, urea would have been stolen for chemical factories but with neem coating they can't be used for anything else.
  • And farmers get the much required nitrogen for their land by this neem-coated fertilizer.
  • We have done away with the neccessity to get documents attested by government officials, MLAs.
  • We have taught India to trust its citizens.
  • When I came to power I learnt Rs 27,000 crores was in treasury and rotting. It was the money of the poor which had been deducted (as PF) and was unclaimed.
  • Now there is a unique identity number, so whenever you quit a job, the unique ID number is transferred - and so is the money.
  • Every year someone who got a pension had to prove he was alive, we used technology to put an end to that.
  • We will put an end to 1300 outdated laws and this will reduce the nation's burden.
  • In 12 rupees, you can't buy a shroud. In 12 rupees a year of one rupee a month, my government has offered an insurance scheme of 2 lakh rupees.
  • If you had not voted for this government, I don't know where inflation would have been today.
  • We have been able to control the rising prices. In the last 1 year, foreign investment has risen 8 times to 25,000 crores.
  • In India there are about 6 crore small businessmen and they employ 12 crore more people.
  • In the last one year, 6 lakh more foreign tourists have come to India.
  • If India has to fight poverty, the youth of the nation must get employment opportunities.
  • I want these small businessmen to have access to bank loans - that is why we thought of the Mudra Bank to give loans from Rs 10,000 to 10 lakhs.
  • We ran the Swacch Bharat campaign, toilets for women.
  • Don't our mothers and sisters deserve toilets?
  • Hamara desh gareebon ko gandagi mai jeene ke liye majboor kare, aisi hamari Bharat Mata nahi ho sakti.
  • Ganga and Yamuna are both my mothers. I assure you I will complete all the work that remains to be done... I need your blessings.
  • If I try and go through all the decisions that this government has taken in 365 days, it will take more than 365 hours.
  • I had promised that I will not take a vacation. Do you have any complaints?
  • We will get rid of poverty, make our nation economically stronger, make our nation proud globally.
  • Every minute we have taken new initiatives and tried to create new solutions for India.
