Shri Modi decimates Congress myths and shows how Centre is doing great injustice to Gujarat and its people.
Gujarat gives Rs. 50,000 crore every year to Delhi but we get Rs. 6,000 crore only in return! If someone takes Rs. 100 from you but gives you back only Rs. 10, do we say we were given Rs. 10 or Rs. 90 was taken : Shri Modi
People of Gujarat are not beggars standing with extended hands while an Empress hands out crumbs. Congress attitude hurting self-respect of people of Gujarat: Shri Modi
We awakened the people with ads showing how Gujarat is slapped every day by the Centre but it this truth has hurt the Congress so much they have gone to Court seeking its removal: Shri Modi
Money in Gandhinagar’s treasury does not belong to me or any party but is the hard work and sweat of 6 crore Gujaratis: Shri Modi
In his wonderful style, Shri Narendra Modi systemically decimated the lies spread by the Congress and spoke about how the Centre was doing a great injustice to the people of Gujarat. The Chief Minister was addressing the ‘One Booth, Ten Youth’ Convention of the Yuva Morcha on Saturday 8th September 2012 in Maninagar, Ahmedabad.
Shri Modi remarked that these days there is a new trend coming up that says that the money for Gujarat’s development is actually coming from the Centre. But, he affirmed that the fact is - money is going to the Centre from Gandhinagar!
He shared that while Gujarat gives Rs. 50,000 crore to the treasury in Delhi every year, all that Gujarat gets is Rs. 6,000 crore. Giving a small example, Shri Modi asked that if one takes Rs. 100 from you and gives back only Rs. 10, do we say we were given Rs. 10 or Rs. 90 was taken?
The Chief Minister stated that the people of Gujarat are not beggars standing with extended hands while an Empress hands out crumbs. He added that this attitude of Congress Party hurts the self-respect of Gujarat and the people will never accept this injustice.Shri Modi said that in order to further awaken the people about the injustice being done to Gujarat, advertisements about how Delhi is slapping Gujarat every single day were released but, it was the Congress who felt the pain and they went to court asking for a withdrawal of these advertisements. The Chief Minister wondered why cant the Congress accept even this much of the bitter truth and added that now, every one remembers the adds and accepts the injustice being done to Gujarat.
In a pleasant change from the condescending attitude of New Delhi, Shri Modi minced no words in stating that the money in the treasury in Gandhinagar is not his personal wealth neither does it belong to any political party but is the hard work and sweat of 6 crore Gujaratis.

Your Highness,
Excellencies,
Namaskar!
I express my heartfelt gratitude to President Lula for the excellent organisation of the 17th BRICS Summit. Under Brazil’s dynamic chairmanship, our BRICS cooperation has gained fresh momentum and vitality. And let me say—the energy we’ve received isn’t just an espresso; it’s a double espresso shot! For this, I applaud President Lula's vision and his unwavering commitment. On behalf of India, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to my friend, President Prabowo, on Indonesia’s inclusion in the BRICS family.
Friends,
The Global South has often faced double standards. Whether it's about development, distribution of resources, or security related matters, the interests of the Global South have not been given due importance. The Global South often received nothing more than token gestures on topics like climate finance, sustainable development, and technology access.

Friends,
Two-thirds of humanity still lack proper representation in global institutions built in the 20th century. Many countries that play a key role in today’s global economy are yet to be given a seat at the decision-making table. This is not just about representation, it’s also about credibility and effectiveness. Without the Global South, these institutions are like a mobile phone with a SIM card but no network. They’re unable to function properly or meet the challenges of the 21st century. Whether it's ongoing conflicts across the world, the pandemic, economic crises, or emerging challenges in cyber or space, these institutions have failed to offer solutions.
Friends,
Today the world needs a new multipolar and inclusive world order. This will have to start with comprehensive reforms in global institutions. These reforms should not be merely symbolic, but their real impact should also be visible. There must be changes in governance structures, voting rights, and leadership positions. The challenges faced by countries in the Global South must be given priority in policymaking.

Friends,
The expansion of BRICS and the inclusion of new partners reflect its ability to evolve with the times. Now, we must demonstrate the same determination to reform institutions like the UN Security Council, the WTO, and Multilateral Development Banks. In the age of AI, where technology evolves every week, it's unacceptable for global institutions to go eighty years without reform. You can’t run 21st-century software on 20th-century typewriters!
Friends,
India has always considered it a duty to rise above self interest and work towards the interest of humanity. We’re fully committed to work along with the BRICS countries on all matters, and provide our constructive contributions. Thank you very much.
