Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had discussed Sir Creek with Asif Ali Zardari during the latter’s visit to India in April 2012 and agreed it could be resolved soon: Shri Modi

In September 2012 on the way back from Tehran PM had said Sir Creek deal is doable and the process should be pushed further: Shri Modi

Defence Minister AK Antony had said in Porbandar that talks are on to resolve the issue with Pakistan: Shri Modi

Do not mislead the nation. Assure the people that no decision has been taken to give Sir Creek to Pakistan! Reaffirms Shri Modi

Why has Mrs. Sonia Gandhi campaigned only in areas where Congress candidates are rich? Why has she not gone in areas where the candidate is not so rich? Asks Shri Modi

 

On Thursday 13th December 2012 Shri Narendra Modi addressed 8 public meetings across Gujarat. He spoke at election rallies in Mundra (Kutch district), Nakhatrana (Kutch), Bhabhar (Banaskantha), Siddhpur (Patan district), Balol (Mehsana district), Savli & Karelibaug (Vadodara district) and Dehgam (Gandhinagar district). Shri Modi affirmed that till now he has only filled the ditches of 50 years of Congress rule and that his work for a Bhavya & Divya Gujarat will commence after the elections.

Shri Modi said that it is important to know the true character of the Congress. He pointed, “Dynasty politics, nepotism, casteism and divide & rule are a part of the Congress DNA.” He added that the Congress arrogance has reached sky high and the party has lost all shame.

He further warned the Prime Minister against the giving of Sir Creek to Pakistan. He gave further instances where the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister of India have said that a deal of Sir Creek is possible. He was speaking at an

He asked the Prime Minister, “Is it not true that when Asif Ali Zardari was on a visit to Ajmer (in April 2012) you had lunch with him in Delhi? That time he raised the issue of Sir Creek. In Tehran things went ahead and on this issue you said in front of the world that a deal is doable”

(Read the complete transcript of PM’s statement where he says deal on Sir Creek is doable)

It is not only Prime Minister but also the Union Defence Minister who has expressed optimism about a deal on Sir Creek. Shri Modi, “In August our nation’s Union Defence Minister came to Porbandar. He said in Porbandar that talks are on with Pakistan on Sir Creek and there will be a way ahead”

Likewise there was a conference on 2nd December where it was discussed that leaders from Sindh and Gujarat need to be involved in any talks on the Sir Creek issue.

Shri Modi shared these instances in the light of the Prime Minister’s ‘denials’ on Shri Modi’s questions about Sir Creek. Last evening he had asked the Prime Minister not to mislead the nation and categorically assure the people of India that he has taken no decision to give Sir Creek to Pakistan. He added that he had raised the issue even in April 2012 during a CM’s conference but the PM had remained silent then. On the Prime Minister’s response that the dialogue on Sir Creek started from 1998, Shri Modi asked the PM not to mislead the nation by bringing Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s name and added that Atal ji had not even allowed it to be discussed in the 2001 Agra Summit.

Warning the people about giving away Sir Creek, Shri Modi avowed that giving Sir Creek would be a sell out of Indian interests and a threat to our security. He said that he did not wish to raise the issue at this time but when it came to light that there is a meeting on 15th December where even members from Sindh are coming as a part of the Pakistani delegation and that this will be the last meeting on the issue he had no option but to express his views.

Shri Modi affirmed that with the CWG scam the UPA sold Indian sports, in the 2G scam they sold our technology, they sold the nation’s coal too and now UPA is selling the nation itself!

The Chief Minister talked at length about the development of Kutch and North Gujarat over the last decade and came down heavily on the UPA over its anti-Gujarat attitude. Shri Modi shared that earlier people wanted to leave Kutch but today it has become a tourist hub and the world also know ‘Kutch Nahi Dekha to Kuch Nahi Dekha’ (If you have not seen Kutch, you have not seen anything). Likewise, he asked that did anyone imagine that farmers would grow pomegranates in Banaskantha district? He also pointed that he has got the Narmada to the region.

Shri Modi affirmed that the arrogance of the Congress is sky-high and that they are not bothered about the people. This explains why the party has not said a word on price rise despite failing to fulfill their promise of bringing down in 100 days. He shared that the Government is not giving any money for irrigation schemes when it is the Centre that is supposed to give large part of the money and further promised, “Delhi many not give you anything but I will give you water and fulfill all works”

Referring to Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s comments that he only hears one name in Gujarat, Shri Modi pointed out that for years all the nation heard is the name of the Nehru family and that if any other name is taken, the Congress feels disturbed. He informed Mr. Rahul Gandhi, “Rahul Baba, my father was not the Prime Minister of India. He was not even the Sarpanch of a village. This is not the voice of one person but the voice of the people!” He asked Mrs. Sonia Gandhi why has she only campaigned in those areas where the Congress candidates are rich and did not visit any place where the candidates are not rich?

Shattering the lie of Mr. Rahul Gandhi that the water in Gujarat has high fluorine content, he said Mr. Rahul Gandhi does not have a sense of history or geography and that he should go back to the time when there was Congress rule in Gujarat when fluorine content was so high that even youngsters looked old! Today the Gujarat Government took steps in irrigation and the Government of India’s own records say that the water table has risen from 3m to 13m. He shared that the NDA Government had made budget provisions towards making the water fluoride free but after the UPA came to power they stopped this initiative. Shri Modi took on the Congress leaders for their lies on Gujarat’s power situation and the state of employment in Gujarat.

Shri Modi recalled that in a time when the Congress dominance over politics was complete, former PM Rajiv Gandhi said that if a out of a rupee only 15p reached the poor. Shri Modi questioned which was the Hand that embezzled the 85p. He talked about how the Gujarat Government got Garib Kalyan Melas where over 85 lakh people availed of development works of up to Rs 15,000 crore across 1000 Garib Kalyan Melas. He affirmed that if the Gujarat Government is criticized it is on development whereas if the UPA is criticized its on scams, loot, corruption etc.

The public meetings were attended by a record number of people, who came to express solidarity with Shri Modi and the BJP.

When there is a government with the resolution of Nation First, then national heroes also get due respect: PM Modi
July 06, 2026
We pay homage to a great son of India whose unwavering commitment to national unity continues to inspire generations: PM
When there is a government with the resolution of Nation First, then national heroes also get due respect: PM
Dr. Mookerjee fiercely opposed the talk of two constitutions, two prime ministers, and two flags in the country: PM
He understood very well that the essence of nation-building is in the building of institutions : PM
Dr. Mookerjee laid the foundation for such national institutions which became India's economic strength for decades to come: PM

Union Cabinet colleagues Amit Bhai Shah, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, West Bengal’s dynamic Chief Minister Shubhendu Adhikari, senior BJP member and inspiration to lakhs of workers like me, Shri Makhanlal ji, BJP state president Shamik Bhattacharya, esteemed public representatives, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen!

My greetings to all of you!

Due to my pre-scheduled program, I am currently traveling. But with the help of technology, I am able to join you in this historic event.

Friends,

Today, the soil of our nation, the soil of West Bengal, is reverently remembering one of its great sons - a great patriot, a visionary dedicated to India’s integrity. Today we celebrate the seed of thought he planted, which is flourishing everywhere in the present time, playing a major role in guiding modern India.

Friends,

When ideas are rooted in the ground, when intentions are strong and pure, when new resolutions are pursued with complete dedication, and when all these links come together, success is inevitable. Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee lived such a life. On the occasion of his 125th birth anniversary, I bow to him and offer my tribute.

Friends,

This program is also testimony to the fact that when there is a government committed to Nation First, national heroes are honored and efforts are made to walk in their vision. Our government is celebrating Dr. Mookerjee’s 125th birth anniversary as a two-year national festival. It began last year on July 6 and will continue until July 6 next year. And now, with a BJP government in Bengal, this national honor has gained even more grandeur. Just a few days ago, on June 20, West Bengal Day was celebrated in a grand manner. That was a salute to Bengal’s land and heritage. Today’s program is part of that same respect for heritage. I warmly congratulate the West Bengal government for organizing such a magnificent event.

Friends,

Dr. Mookerjee’s life is an inspiration - from an idea to a mass movement. He gave birth to an ideological movement in India. At the time when the Jana Sangh was founded, Congress dominated everywhere. In such an era, when there was no space for alternative thought, when even finding a foothold was difficult, Dr. Mookerjee challenged those circumstances and had the courage to create a new idea. It was not merely the decision to form an organization or a political party. It was the expression of his unwavering faith in ideological diversity, national thought, and public participation in democracy. From this faith, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh was born.

Friends,

No idea becomes immortal merely by its founding. An idea becomes immortal when generations nurture it with their lives. To keep the flame of the Jana Sangh alive, lakhs of workers dedicated their lives, moment by moment, sacrifice by sacrifice. They never let that flame die. Today, even if the Jana Sangh is not visible in its original form, the light of that flame has spread as the trust of crores of Indians. That light today shines across the nation in the form of millions of blooming lotuses. What was once the Jana Sangh is today the Bharatiya Janata Party - the world’s largest democratic force, serving the people.

Friends,

Often we see that with time, some ideas lose their appeal. But think - how powerful was the seed of thought planted by Dr. Mookerjee, that even after so many years, it continues to expand rapidly. I am confident that when future generations write the history of the BJP’s journey, when they study it, they will certainly mention Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s ideas, his courage, and his foresight. And I will say again - for Bengal, this is a double joy. First, the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Mookerjee. And second, this grand celebration in Bengal itself, under a BJP government born from his vision. This is a heartfelt tribute from the people of West Bengal to their great son.

Friends,

In one of his speeches in Parliament, Dr. Mookerjee said something that continues to inspire us even today. He said: “On the foundation of national unity alone can the edifice of a golden future be built.” And indeed, India can proudly say that Dr. Mookerjee lived this belief until his last breath. In 1947, when the country was divided and another crisis loomed - conspiracies were being hatched to separate the whole of Bengal from India. At that time, Dr. Mookerjee stood like a rock against these plots. He mobilized public opinion, fought political battles, and ensured that West Bengal remained an integral part of India. It was then that Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee thundered: “Congress desh bhag korechhe, ami Pakistan ke bhag korechhi.” Meaning, Congress divided the country, but I divided Pakistan itself.

Friends,

That roar, that strength, the political will it displayed - we can still feel its power when we look at today’s circumstances.

Friends,

Dr. Mookerjee was fully dedicated to the vision of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. That is why, when the idea of two constitutions, two prime ministers, and two flags was raised, he strongly opposed it. He gave the nation the mantra: “Ek deshe dui bidhan, dui prodhan ebong dui nishan - amra kokhono mene nebo na.” In other words: “In one country, two constitutions, two prime ministers, and two flags - will not be accepted, will not be accepted.” This was not just a slogan. It was a call for equal rights, one constitution, and a unified national consciousness. He fought for these principles, went to jail, and ultimately gave his supreme sacrifice for Kashmir. Today, our government is proud that by removing Article 370, we fulfilled Dr. Mookerjee’s dream.

Friends,

When we speak of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat today, it is the expansion of that same national vision defined by Dr. Mookerjee’s life. A vision of an India where there is no distance between North and South, where East and West share equal opportunities, where every state contributes its unique identity to India’s collective strength, and where every citizen is bound by one constitution, one national spirit, and one shared future. I am glad that inspired by Dr. Mookerjee, India’s constitution today applies across the nation with full dignity, inspiring millions of citizens.

Friends,

Dr. Mookerjee understood well that nation-building lies in institution-building. At just 33 years of age, he became the youngest Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University. But he did not see that position as merely administrative. He saw the university as an institution shaping India’s future. He sought to free education from the mindset of colonial servitude. He said: “Bongo-jatir atto-shomman punor-uddhar ebong matri-bhashar madhyome shikkhar proshar ei amader prodhan lokkho howa uchit.” Meaning, restoring the self-respect of Bengal’s people and spreading education through the mother tongue should be our foremost goal. He believed that if India was to become a confident nation, its education must be rooted in the Indian soul. With this vision, he gave respect to Indian languages. Today, we are proud that under the new National Education Policy, emphasis is being placed on education in local languages - fulfilling the dream Dr. Mookerjee once saw.

Friends,

As independent India’s first Industry Minister, he laid out a broad vision for industrial development. He established national institutions that became the pillars of India’s economic strength for decades. Chittaranjan Locomotive Works gave new momentum to India’s railways. Sindri Fertilizer Plant was a major step toward agricultural self-reliance. Damodar Valley Corporation opened a new chapter in energy and irrigation. The Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) provided a financial foundation for Indian industries.

Friends,

For him, industries and factories were not just workshops. Universities were not just places to hand out degrees. Research institutions were not just sites for experiments. For him, all these were centers of national devotion. He believed in institutions that gave talent opportunities, education that encouraged innovation, industries that became the basis of self-reliance, and systems that empowered future generations to inherit a stronger India. This spirit is the inspiration behind today’s vision of a developed India.

Friends,

On this occasion, I say to the youth of Bengal and of the entire nation: Dr. Mookerjee dedicated his life for Ek Bharat. We must live for Shreshtha Bharat. Together, we must fulfill the resolve of a developed India. We must make the nation self-reliant. With this call, I once again bow to Dr. Mookerjee. And I will end with his own words, his own spirit: “Je kaj ei hate nao na keno, ta atyononto gurutto shohokare korte hobe.” Meaning: Whatever work you begin, do it with utmost seriousness, with dedication, with complete sincerity. Never leave any work incomplete - always see it through to the end. With this flowing inspiration from Dr. Mookerjee’s words, I extend my heartfelt best wishes to all of you.

Thank you very much!
