Navsari, 20 October, 2011

Sadbhavna Mission could bring light in the people’s life in Diwali in Gujarat and spread the message of peace, unity and harmony across the nation.

Delivering his speech while rounding up his daylong fast as part of the district-wise Sadbhavna Mission Abhiyan at Navsari in south Gujarat, he said that Gujarat has become synonymous with peace as also with development. He took satisfaction at the state setting its own benchmark of development.

“There is no stopping Gujarat’s development, howsoever hostile might be Delhi sultanate’s attitude towards the state. The more mud people throw on Gujarat, the lotus will bloom more,” the Chief Minister said.

The Chief Minister said that it was because of the government policies like Vanbandhu for the tribal people living in the forests that Naxalism could not take roots here. The government provides electricity to all the 18,000-odd villages in the state without any discrimination as to who is the beneficiary, a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Parsi.

He said that Gujarat is also home to people coming here with family from other states like Andhra, Orissa and Kerala for job and live a peaceful life.

The Chief Minister thanked the people of the district coming from the different talukas for joining him at the function.
