People who study politics must note the political discipline in Gujarat where no MLA is required to be protected. Elected MLAs have to be kept at safe places to be protected from horse-trading but Gujarat is singing a different tune: Shri Modi

If you watch the channels they have turned all 115 BJP MLAs into ministers. It’s an era of breaking news and we don’t know what they would break, when they would break and how much they will keep breaking! But these are decisions the party takes as a team. Those who have been assigned responsibility are working on this subject. Proper decisions are taken at proper time: Shri Modi

Attractive and trustworthy leadership the strength of BJP during 2012 Gujarat Elections: Shri Arun Jaitley

Every party worker in this country is looking at Gujarat’s rule, Gujarat’s development as role model. And therefore this victory has brought even more responsibility: Shri Jaitley

 

On the evening of Tuesday 25th December 2012 Shri Narendra Modi was unanimously elected the leader of the BJP legislature party in the Gujarat Sabha. The meeting was held at Gandhinagar Town hall and was attended by the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Shri Arun Jaitley and the newly elected BJP MLAs.

He will take oath as CM for a record 4th time on 26th December 2012 in Ahmedabad.

Shri Modi said that people who study politics must note the political discipline in Gujarat where no MLA is required to be protected. He stated that elected MLAs have to be kept at safe places to be protected from horse-trading but Gujarat is singing a different tune.

 

 

He affirmed that 11 years ago he was new to administration but today he has an experience of 11 years that will make him deliver much better.

He declared that the thought of good governance has been institutionalized in Gujarat.

Taking a dig at the media for excessive speculation for Cabinet posts, Shri Modi pointed out, “I was not able to watch much TV during the elections, but recently I watched some TV channels and I watched that they have turned all 115 BJP MLAs into ministers! This is because every news TV channel is attempting to make difference, so if one channel presents Mr. X as a new possible minister, another channel makes Mr. Y as a minister. And if you watch all channels, they have in total turned all 115 BJP MLAs into ministers. It’s an era of  breaking news and we don’t know what they would break, when they would break and how much they will keep breaking!! Well friends, it is the party that takes such decisions as a team. Those who have been assigned responsibility are working on this subject. Proper decisions are taken at proper time.”

 

“Very few people care to observe how BJP functions here. I request political pundits to study Gujarat BJP not as a political party but as an organization. The high values, traditions, team spirit – such elements are at their best at every step here. I have become MLA, I got so many votes from Maninagar, this is not because of Shri Narendra Modi and his magic but because of BJP worker’s hard work. Our party worker’s hard work is not limited to elections. Everyday he lives among the people and earns their trust. And therefore, when he speaks, people do believe in what he says. He counters the attacks and allegations on the party through a bridge of trust he has constructed” Shri Modi said.

Shri Modi asked newly elected MLAs that more than a position, their victory actually means responsibility.

Shri Modi said, “Our party doesn’t function on the basis of memberships but on the basis of relationships and our DNA is Bharat Mata Ki Jay.”

Shri Modi further said, “in past those becoming minister were enjoying their positions, but we have brought a new work culture. In last one year, my cabinet colleagues traveled around 4,000 villages. Neither media nor Congress friends were aware about it. Our ministers used to work hard, because live connectivity with people helps to find solutions of people’s problems. We believe that governments should work among people, because when we are in people, solutions are found automatically. It is important to be close to people, their happiness and their pains.”

“I have clear opinion that Gujarat has unlimited potential. The state has great strength. Natural resources are lacking, but the state has power to emerge as a leader.There’s just need to give a right direction. There’s just a need to create proper atmoshpere to achieve new heights. We have seen this in last ten years already.”

“Ten years back, I was new, but today I have experience of 11 years of governance, and therefore I can work with more decision making power, and I can identify the situation more effectively compare to past. The strength to deliver results would also be many folds more now. And therefore I believe that in next five years, we will see many more achievements, incomparable with any five year period in past.”

“It’s true that we don’t enjoy facilities matching to Congress governments(that ruled Gujarat in past). During the Congress regime, opposition parties were almost not there. Media’s vibrancy was lesser and limited. And they enjoyed all these great facilities for around 30 years, but they didn’t utilized this opportunity well.”

“We know we have obstructions before us at every step. Earlier when new government was formed, opponents used to wait for 100 days and refrained from attacking, but now though we have achieved such a big victory, we are facing attacks. We will have to double our strength to work against obstructions on our way.”

“Our goal is Gujarat’s future, and we will break our old records and will set new records.”

“The government machinery was involved in elections in last three months, and we are yet to form a new government, but on the other side we are preparing for an event as big as Vibrant Summit in 2013. This is a rare thing, and it is because we have not allowed the system to function around one person. We have not set up a person oriented system, we have institutionalized the idea.”

Speaking at the meeting, Shri Arun Jaitley said that attractive and trustworthy leadership was the strength of the BJP during the 2012 Gujarat Elections. He added that the people of Gujarat could clearly distinguish between what is truth and what is falsehood. He said, “Every party worker in this country is looking at Gujarat’s rule, Gujarat’s development as role model. And therefore this victory has brought even more responsibility.”

Prime Minister urges MPs to vote in favour of Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam Amendment, Calls it Historic Opportunity
April 17, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has highlighted that a discussion is currently underway in Parliament on the amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, noting that deliberations continued till 1 AM last night.

He stated that all misconceptions surrounding the amendment have been addressed with logical responses, and every concern raised by members has been resolved. The Prime Minister added that necessary information, wherever lacking, has also been provided to all members, ensuring that issues of opposition have been clarified.

Emphasising that the issue of women’s reservation has witnessed political debates for nearly four decades, the Prime Minister said that the time has now come to ensure that women, who constitute half of the country’s population, receive their rightful representation.

He observed that even after decades of independence, the low representation of women in the decision-making process is not appropriate and needs to be corrected.

The Prime Minister informed that voting in the Lok Sabha is expected shortly and urged all political parties to take a thoughtful and sensitive decision by voting in favour of the women’s reservation amendment.

Appealing on behalf of the women of the country, he urged all Members of Parliament to ensure that no action hurts the sentiments of Nari Shakti. He noted that crores of women are looking towards the Parliament, its intent, and its decisions.

The Prime Minister called upon MPs to reflect upon their families-mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives—and listen to their inner conscience while making the decision.

He described the amendment as a significant opportunity to serve and honour the women of the nation and urged members not to deprive them of new opportunities.

Expressing confidence, the Prime Minister said that if the amendment is passed unanimously, it will further strengthen Nari Shakti as well as the country’s democracy.

Calling it a historic moment, he urged all members to come together to create history by granting rightful representation to women, who form half of India’s population.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“संसद में इस समय नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन पर चर्चा चल रही है। कल रात भी एक बजे तक चर्चा चली है।

जो भ्रम फैलाए गए, उनको दूर करने के लिए तर्कबद्ध जवाब दिया गया है। हर आशंका का समाधान किया गया है। जिन जानकारियों का अभाव था, वो जानकारियां भी हर सदस्य को दी गई हैं। किसी के मन में विरोध का जो कोई भी विषय था, उसका भी समाधान हुआ है।

महिला आरक्षण के इस विषय पर देश में चार दशक तक बहुत राजनीति कर ली गई है। अब समय है कि देश की आधी आबादी को उसके अधिकार अवश्य मिलें।

आजादी के इतने दशकों बाद भी भारत की महिलाओं का निर्णय प्रक्रिया में इतना कम प्रतिनिधित्व रहे, ये ठीक नहीं।

अब कुछ ही देर लोकसभा में मतदान होने वाला है। मैं सभी राजनीतिक दलों से आग्रह करता हूं… अपील करता हूं...

कृपया करके सोच-विचार करके पूरी संवेदनशीलता से निर्णय लें, महिला आरक्षण के पक्ष में मतदान करें।

मैं देश की नारी शक्ति की तरफ से भी सभी सदस्यों से प्रार्थना करूंगा… कुछ भी ऐसा ना करें, जिनसे नारीशक्ति की भावनाएं आहत हों।

देश की करोड़ों महिलाओं की दृष्टि हम सभी पर है, हमारी नीयत पर है, हमारे निर्णय पर है। कृपया करके नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन का साथ दें।”

“मैं सभी सांसदों से कहूंगा...

आप अपने घर में मां-बहन-बेटी-पत्नी सबका स्मरण करते हुए अपनी अंतरात्मा को सुनिए ...

देश की नारीशक्ति की सेवा का, उनके वंदन का ये बहुत बड़ा अवसर है।

उन्हें नए अवसरों से वंचित नहीं करिए।

ये संशोधन सर्वसम्मति से पारित होगा, तो देश की नारीशक्ति और सशक्त होगी… देश का लोकतंत्र और सशक्त होगा।

आइए… हम मिलकर आज इतिहास रचें। भारत की नारी को… देश की आधी आबादी को उसका हक दें।”

"Parliament is discussing a historic legislation that paves the way for women’s reservation in legislative bodies. The discussions, which began yesterday, lasted till around 1 AM and have continued since the House proceedings began this morning.

The Government has addressed all apprehensions and misconceptions relating to the legislation with facts and logic. All concerns have been addressed and any gaps in information have also been filled.

For nearly four decades, this issue of women’s reservation in legislative bodies has been inordinately delayed. Now is the time to ensure that half of the nation’s population receives its rightful due in decision making. Even after so many decades of Independence, it is not right that women in India have such limited representation in this area.

In a short while from now, voting will take place in the Lok Sabha. I urge and appeal to all political parties to reflect carefully and take a sensitive decision by voting in favour of women’s reservation.

On behalf of our Nari Shakti, I also request all members not to do anything that may hurt the sentiments of women across India. Crores of women are watching us…our intent and our decisions. I once again request that everyone support the amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.”

"I would like to appeal to all Members of Parliament…

Please reflect upon your conscience, remembering the women in your own families.

The legislation to ensure women’s reservation in legislative bodies is a significant opportunity to do justice to women of our nation.

Please do not deprive our Nari Shakti of new opportunities.

If this amendment is passed unanimously, it will further empower the women of our country and strengthen our democracy.

Let us come together today to create history.

Let us ensure that the women of India, who are half of the nation’s population, receive their rightful due.”
