THUS SPAKE THE PRIME MINISTER IN GUJARAT

” Had Sardar Patel not been there, there would not have been this grand temple in Somnath. So there are people who visited the Somnath Temple recently [Rahul Gandhi and Congress], I want to ask them: Do you know history? Your family members, our first prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru was not happy with the idea of a temple being built there. When Dr Rajendra Prasad was to come to inaugurate the Somnath Temple, Pandit Nehru expressed his displeasure.”

” Those who ruled India for 70 years are now asking for my report card. When your family was ruling, there was an SC/ST commission.We brought an OBC commission. They prevented it. But we are determined. Come the winter session of Parliament, we will pass the law to create an OBC Commission”

” I want to ask the Congress Party. What is it that you have against our army? The demand for OROP was pending for 40 long years. Why did successive Congress governments do nothing about that? Congress leaders are masters in gossiping. They just duped our soldiers. Congress had no idea of the intricacies of the OROP issue. When elections were approaching, they announced a meagre ~500 crore for OROP whereas the real requirement was a lot higher. Had they done some research, they would have realised that ~500 crore was nothing,”

” Congress has no neeti (policy) or neta (Leader). It does not have any connection with the common man. How can these people create India’s destiny?”

” When Indira- ben came to Morbi, I remember there was a photo of her in Chitralekhamagazine with a hanky over her nose due to the foul smells. But for Jansangh/RSS the streets of Morbi are fragrant; it is the fragrance of humanity.”
