Shri Narendra Modi addressed the second of the Vijay Vishwaas Sneh Sammelans on the evening of Sunday 10th November 2013. He was addressing Karyakartas across 7 Lok Sabha constituencies of Gujarat via video conferencing. Shri Modi inspired the Karyakartas to spread their work beyond the cities and listen to the problems and issues the people face. Shri Modi told them that the time has come when the BJP is at the focal point of national politics and anything the BJP says is taken seriously and answered by the other parties, including the Prime Minister. He added that while this is a big thing, it must be noted that a lot of people have expectations from the BJP, which the party and its Karyakartas must try and fulfill.
Shri Modi stated that the BJP has always stood against votebank politics, which have ruined the nation. He added that it is much easier for those who practice votebank politics as they have to manage a few people but for the BJP, which does not believe in it, the Karyakartas have to constantly keep working. “We need to think of 100% of the population and not do what those practicing votebank politics do.”
He inspired the Karyakartas by saying that the Mantra of the BJP has always been Sauno Saath, Sauno Vikas. “I had said this when we won the elections of 2002 that those who voted for us are ours, those who did not vote for us are ours and even those who did not go out and vote are ours.”
Shri Modi urged the Karyakartas to look beyond seats and concentrate on winning as many booths as possible. He talked about the Statue of Unity to commemorate Sardar Patel and urged Karyakartas to participate in the Run for Unity of 15th December, which is the Punya Tithi of Sardar Patel. “Let us create a Sardar Mai vatavaran. Go to the villages, talk about Sardar Patel, talk about unity and spread the message. Set forth and talk about Sardar Patel,” Shri Modi told the Karyakartas. He called for Vijay Vrati Karyakartas from every place who would dedicate the coming 200 days to make the BJP victorious in the Lok Sabha elections.
