He said Gujarat has experienced how a stable government continuing for a long time has helped in taking one decision after another, benefiting the state. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and state BJP chief C.R. Paatil joined the Prime Minister at the event.
“At the root of this rapid development being seen in the country and India’s praise in the world is the power of the public that has given a stable government to the country. We have experienced how a stable and majority government in Gujarat continuing for a long time has helped us take one decision after another,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi noted that people know very well that the strong pillars laid in the last several years are behind the large projects of development being undertaken and courageous decisions being made, and behind the rapid growth of Gujarat.
“And you know your Narendrabhai, you see me as your own Narendrabhai rather than the Prime Minister. And you know your Narendrabhai, once he takes a pledge, he fulfils it,” he said.
The Prime Minister also mentioned the contributions made by women in the dairy sector and said because of their hard work, their household incomes had become stable.
“Hundreds of new veterinary hospitals have been set up in north Gujarat because we understand the potential of (bovine) animals. Our area of focus is to ensure that animals remain healthy, they get proper service so that their milk yield increases,” he said.
