The Prime Minister remarked that the focus of the Government is to make Team India stronger and spoke on the importance of the federal structure of India.
He affirmed, “People keep asking what is your vision, big vision and grand vision but all I have to say is that I am a very small person and I live for the small people.”
Talking about the BJP, the Prime Minister pointed, “Our (BJP’s) strength is our Organisation and the hardwork of our Karyakartas.” He recalled the time when the BJP was reduced to two seats and asked whether anyone thought that time that the BJP would come to power securing a majority on its own.

Referring to the wonderful work in Gujarat under the leadership of Smt.
