Shri Modi on Britain’s decision to strengthen relations with Gujarat
The Chief Minister welcomed the decision of the British Government to strengthen relations with Gujarat. He said that Britain and the rest of Europe put restrictions on Gujarat. But several other developed nations from Canada, Japan to Australia have befriended Gujarat. China has befriended Gujarat and has understood that without befriending Gujarat, friendship with India is incomplete.Thus, with these countries keeping relations with Gujarat, Shri Modi stated that Europe thought they are left behind and hence this decision.
CM speaks on UPA’s continued defending of Mr. Robert Vadra
Shri Modi raised serious questions over the UPA’s continued defending of UPA Chairperson Mrs. Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Mr. Robert Vadra. He said that if a Minister is facing allegations and the Government comes out in defense it is understandable. But, why is the whole Government coming out to defend a person who is not in Government?Similarly, one can understand if his family decides to speak in his defense but again, why must the Government become so proactive on the same? Is it that the Government was in the know? Is it directly involved? He further called for the need to explain the role of the Government.
