On the evening of Wednesday 4th December 2013 Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the new building of the Gujarat State Co-operative Bank in Ahmedabad. Shri Narendra Modi talked about the importance of co-operative sector and said that for Gujarat, the co-operative sector have been a part of the value system of the state. Shri Modi called for the need to move towards next generation co-operative banking. He suggested looking at online cash transactions and even said that we need to move beyond cash transactions. Shri Modi affirmed that the best way to end menace of black money is to have online transactions.

Shri Modi recalled how tough decisions by him and the Gujarat government were instrumental in winning the people’s trust in the co-operative sector once again after the series of bank collapses that plagued the sector in 2001. He said, “I remember what happened after the Madhavpura Scam. It was like we had suffered 2 quakes- the quake in Kutch and the bank. Economy was affected and the trust of the people was broken. It was upto us to rebuild this trust. And during those days people were expert at spreading rumors. They would say A Bank is falling or B bank is falling.”

He added, “We wanted to take strong steps. People would tell me, Narendra Bhai this is the right thing but you will not be able to do it. But, for me this was not about politics. We did take strong steps, people were even sent to jail. No one was sparred and we one the trust of the people. The message was clear- what happened, happened in the past. And I must say you all cooperated with me for which I thank you. People told me- Narendra Bhai if I was the CM I would never have taken such decisions.”

Cooperatives Minister Shri Babubhai Bokhiria, former Deputy CM Shri Narhari Amin, Shri Vipul Chaudhary and others were present on the occasion.

PM Modi engages a lively audience in Jharkhand’s Sarath

The JMM-Congress coalition has done everything wrong to make outsiders permanent residents of this land: PM Modi in Jharkhand rally
We ensured that government benefits directly reach beneficiaries without intermediaries: PM in Jharkhand

PM Modi addressed a large gathering in Jharkhand's Sarath. He said, "Today, the first phase of voting is happening in Jharkhand. The resolve to protect livelihood, daughters, and land is visible at every booth. There is strong support for the guarantees that the BJP has given for the future of women and youth. It is certain that the JMM-Congress will be wiped out in the Santhali region this time."

Accusing the ruling JMM-led coalition in Jharkhand of engaging in dangerous vote-bank politics, PM Modi said the population of Hindus and Adivasis was declining, while that of infiltrators was rapidly increasing.

“The JMM-Congress coalition has done everything wrong to make outsiders permanent residents of this land. They have made fake documents for these infiltrators. Tribal daughters were deceived under the pretext of marriage, and land was seized. These infiltrators have taken away your jobs... even your bread,” the PM established.

PM Modi further warned about Congress' dangerous intentions to end SC/ST/OBC reservations. He criticized Congress for attempting to divide these communities by breaking their unity. He emphasized that only by staying united will these communities safeguard their rights and ensure reservations remain protected and reiterated - "Ek Hain toh Safe Hain!"

The PM also highlighted the significant difference between the Congress era and his own government in ensuring direct benefits for the people. “Under Congress, funds were siphoned off by corruption, but after 2014, Modi ensured that government benefits directly reach beneficiaries without intermediaries.” He mentioned how, through initiatives like opening bank accounts for the poor and the disadvantaged, money like the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi directly reaches the farmers. He also talked about the BJP's new schemes for women and farmers in Jharkhand, ensuring financial aid reach them.

He further emphasized the importance of developing Jharkhand as part of a "Viksit Bharat," with the state's contribution to the nation's energy sector. PM Modi called for collective efforts to make Jharkhand a proud and prosperous state, with promises of continued development. He urged his supporters to ensure that every citizen receives the benefits they deserve, guaranteeing a better future for all, and encouraged them to secure a resounding victory for BJP-NDA candidates.
