Dantewada, Chhattisgarh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing a public meeting in Chhattisgarh's Maoist-affected Dantewada.
Here is what he said:
Here is what he said:
- The adivasis of this area, which has the blessing of Mother Danteshwari, have taught the world how to live.
- I was scheduled to take part in a programme in Raipur also, but a storm destroyed the venue.
- Many were injured. I wish all the injured speedy recovery.
- This is probably the first time in Bastar's history that projects worth Rs 24,000 crore have been signed in just one hour.
- I can imagine what this will do for the development of Bastar.
- People know that employment is of prime importance. They can build a house, educate their children, etc, only if they are employed.
- Wherever one goes, people will say, "Do anything but ensure that our children get jobs."
- No parent wants their child to go far only to live in slums in cities.
- That's why it is the government's responsibility to bring development to everyone.
- The Bastar region has had coal. It has also had people, as it has had governments. And, it has also had unemployment.
- India should get rail connectivity all across.
- Jan Dhan Yojana is a way to empower each individual and bring him at par with the country's mainstream.
- The fruits of development must reach the poorest of the poor.
- Jobs for the youth are at the core of our policies.
- At present, you send iron out and get steel from outside. This has to stop.
- We will make steel from the iron ore here.
- Do not get disappointed. Even Naxal activities will be fought.
- I am sure that humanity exists in people who indulge in such activities and they will change.
- There is no future in violence. If there is a future, it is in peace.
- It is a plough on the shoulders that can bring development, not guns.
- Skill development is critical to ensuring employment.
- Even developed and happy nations of the world are laying emphasis on skill development.
- Under the previous government, the only news in the paper was of scams. We have been in power for a year have thr been such news?
- But some people were happy keeping people poor. Now, when change is happening, they cant digest it.
