“If the Congress wants Gujarat” …. Modi gives mantra

Ahmedabad, 24 November 2012

“If the Congress wants Gujarat, they must wholeheartedly embrace politics of development rather than votebank politics. Till then, the people of Gujarat having known them so well will never give them a chance to enter our soil,” Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi said today in his blog post.

Modi said the difference(between BJP and Congress) is fundamentally that of style of politics.

“The BJP is forever committed towards politics for development whereas the Congress is a dyed in the wool exponent of votebank politics. Remember how they divided brother from brother, friend from friend in Gujarat,” he said.

Modi further said:The greatest contribution(of BJP in Gujarat) is the fact that over the years Gujarat has instilled a robust faith among the people in the political system and the institution of democracy, after it was systematically eroded by years of Congress rule in the decades after Independence.

Modi in his blog post gave important to stability factor and said, “The new heights of development we have scaled would never have been possible without the political stability we have witnessed for more than a decade. Many of you must have seen the Gujarat where Governments did not last for long and there would be frequent games of musical chairs to capture power. All that is history now. The coherence as well as consistency in policy making has benefitted the people immensely. This political stability is nothing but a manifestation of the vision and farsightedness of the people of Gujarat, who have time again reposed their faith in development over everything else.”

On his party workers, Modi said, “Through the last many days, I am also meeting many of our Karyakartas and the joy in meeting these ever-passionate and motivated individuals is something words cannot describe! Our true strength is our Karyakartas and I congratulate them for the splendid work they are doing. I assure them that their efforts will not go in vain. We shall commence our march towards a Bhavya and Divya (glorious and divine) Gujarat from January 2013 and before that, we will celebrate another Diwali on 20th December 2012, one that will grander than ever before….”
