AHMEDABAD: Addressing a large gathering in poll-bound Gujarat’s Bhuj, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said he is grateful for all the mudslinging as lotus blooms in the mud.
“Overwhelmed me with affection shown by the people of Kutch,” said the PM.
“Interacting with people gives me unparalleled joy. Every moment of my life is devoted to the welfare of India and 125 crore Indians,” tweeted PM Modi ahead of his rally.
Later in the day, he will address three more rallies which will be held in Jasdan, Dhari and Kamrej.
The Prime Minister requested the crowd to bless BJP candidates and vote for them.
Here are the highlights of the Prime Minister’s speech:

I was asked why don’t you name Nehru in your speeches, So I asked Congress leaders to give me in writing the names of their own party Presidents, but they don’t remember the ones like Bose and Kamraj, when they don’t remember names of their own how’ll they understand Gujarat: PM
– When earthquake struck Kutch region in 2001, Atal Bihar Vajpayee sent me to the region to work among its people and that taught me a lot: PM Modi
– When big earthquakes take place people say see this building has fell but in Kutch people say this school, this hospital, these buildings were made after the earthquake. All this was done on war footing by the army of Kutch which consists of its people: PM
– Congress had insulted Sardar Patel, people of Gujarat still forgave them but they will no longer tolerate any attack on their prestige: PM Modi
– Officers did not want to get posted to Kutch region as the water here was black in colour. Congress did not allow Narmada water to come to Kutch region. What if the Narmada waters had come to Kutch 30 years earlier? It would have made such a big different: PM
– Gujarat is my soul and mother, my relationship with you is that of equality since you call me brother: PM
– I am grateful for all the ‘kichad’ being thrown at me, after all, a lotus blooms only in ‘kichad’ so, I don’t mind if more is thrown at me: PM Narendra Modi.
