Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has all the qualities of a successful Army commander, said General Officer Commanding (GOC) Major General I S Singha of the Golden Katar Division in Ahmedabad on Monday.

He was speaking at the inauguration of three-day ‘Know Your Army’ exhibition organised by the Golden Katar Division of the Army.

“Like in the Army, he (Modi) keeps deadline for completion of work, and ensures that target is achieved by the set time,” he added.

Singha praised Modi and his government for the developmental work in the state.

The Golden Katar GOC also sought land for ex-servicemen housing scheme. “I would like to request the Chief Minister to provide land to the Army for setting up housing welfare societies for the ex-servicemen in Ahmedabad. Such schemes are available in all other states,” Singha said.
