CM appeals to voters to make the Lotus emerge victorious in Gujarat, calls for strong participation by women voters.

On the evening of Sunday 18th November 2012 Shri Narendra Modi addressed large public meetings at 4 different cities of Gujarat using 3D projection technology. The public meetings were held in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot. Shri Modi termed it as a historic event happening in Gujarat, which has started a new chapter in the usage of technology. He greeted people on the start of Nav Varsh and Labh Pancham.

Before commencing his speech, Shri Modi paid rich tributes to Shiv Sena stalwart Shri Balasaheb Thackeray, who passed away at the age of 86. He appealed for observing 2 minutes of silence as a mark of respect to the deceased leader.

The Chief Minister affirmed that this is for the first time that people are connecting like this using technology and added that technology is only the medium- the bond he shares with the people is that of the heart.

Shri Modi said that he is seeking the blessings of the people and affirmed that irrespective of who is standing from the seat, he will be the candidate and the constant companion of the people in their joys and sorrows. He made a strong appeal to the people to make the Lotus emerge victories again and urged the people not to let the looters of Delhi come to Gujarat. He also called for strong participation by women voters in the election.

Talking about the progress in Gujarat over the last 11 years Shri Modi said that Gujarat is being praised all over the world for its development and the reason behind this is the determination and farsightedness of the people of Gujarat. He cited political stability as a major factor in the success of Gujarat and affirmed that if there was no political stability Gujarat would not have scaled these heights of development.

He said that be it agriculture, industry irrigation or any sector the state has made a mark in development. Shri Modi declared that the SAUNI Yojana would change the lives of the farmers of Saurashtra. He said that in a time when the nation’s agriculture growth rate is not able to cross 2-3%, Gujarat’s agriculture is growing at 11%.

Shri Modi affirmed that while he always urges the Prime Minister to compete on development, they want to compete on allegations, abuses and defame Gujarat. He recalled an instance in which a Congress leader compared him to a monkey but said that the leader has forgotten the Ramayana and the might of Vanar Shakti.

Giving further examples about the lies spread by the Congress, Shri Modi said that they spread lies that the Gujarat Government is giving away Gauchar land. But, it was Congress Government from 1980-1985 that gave away 93% prized Gauchar in South Gujarat whereas in the last 11 years only 4% of land given was Gauchar Land.

He further spoke about the Congress lie that education was costly in Gujarat. He shared that the fees for engineering in Gujarat are lower than that in Maharashtra and Rajasthan, both ruled by the Congress. He stressed on the need to understand the lies spread by the Congress.

The Chief Minister took on the Congress over their promises of bringing down prices in 100 days if elected in 2004 and 2009. He affirmed that not only have prices not come down but also the Government has snatched cylinders, which will hit families hard. Shri Modi further said that no leader from the Congress has express sadness on this issue. He spoke about the Centre’s anti-Gujarat stand pertaining to the State Government’s initiative of providing piped gas to the people. Giving another example of the Congress’ anti-Gujarat stance, Shri Modi spoke about how companies that came for Vibrant Gujarat Summits were sent IT notices from Delhi.

In his speech Shri Modi talked about the Gujarat Government’s decision to become the guarantors for any youngster who sought a loan to start new ventures.

Shri Modi declared that the Congress has ruined the nation and urged political pundits to study the true nature of the Congress and bring it out to the people. He recalled that in the time when the Congress’ dominance over nation’s politics was complete they misused Article 356 against Opposition Government and now that they cannot do that they are misusing the CBI. He stated that in Gujarat the Congress is only putting candidates but it is the CBI that is fighting elections.

The Chief Minister recalled how Rani Lakshmibai would say “I will not give my Jhansi” and asked the people of Gujarat to affirm that they will not give the state to the Congress. He said that the people must all come together for a Bhavya and Divya (glorious and divine) Gujarat. He added that in contrast to the past when curfews were very common in Gujarat, the state has shown the way ahead in peace, unity and brotherhood.

On 20th December, Prime Minister will inaugurate the new terminal building of Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport in Guwahati, marking a transformative milestone in Assam’s connectivity, economic expansion and global engagement.

The newly completed Integrated New Terminal Building, spread over nearly 1.4 lakh square metres, is designed to handle up to 1.3 crore passengers annually, supported by major upgrades to the runway, airfield systems, aprons and taxiways.

India’s first nature-themed airport terminal, the airport’s design draws inspiration from Assam’s biodiversity and cultural heritage under the theme “Bamboo Orchids”. The terminal makes pioneering use of about 140 metric tonnes of locally sourced Northeast bamboo, complemented by Kaziranga-inspired green landscapes, japi motifs, the iconic rhino symbol and 57 orchid-inspired columns reflecting the Kopou flower. A unique “Sky Forest”, featuring nearly one lakh plants of indigenous species, offers arriving passengers an immersive, forest-like experience.

The terminal sets new benchmarks in passenger convenience and digital innovation. Features such as full-body scanners for fast, non-intrusive security screening, DigiYatra-enabled contactless travel, automated baggage handling, fast-track immigration and AI-driven airport operations ensure seamless, secure and efficient journeys.

On 21st December morning before heading to Namrup, Prime Minister will also visit the Swahid Smarak Kshetra to pay homage to the martyrs of the historic Assam Movement, a six-year-long people’s movement that embodied the collective resolve for a foreigner-free Assam and the protection of the State’s identity.

Later in the day, Prime Minister will perform Bhoomipujan of the new brownfield Ammonia-Urea Fertilizer Project at Namrup, in Dibrugarh, Assam, within the existing premises of Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL).

Furthering Prime Minister’s vision of Farmers’ Welfare, the project, with an estimated investment of over Rs. 10,600 crore, will meet fertilizer requirements of Assam and neighbouring states, reduce import dependence, generate substantial employment and catalyse regional economic development. It stands as a cornerstone of industrial revival and farmer welfare.
