UPA has put India on the verge of disintegration: Modi in Chennai

Narendra Modi in Chennai.

One India  | Chennai | 8 Feb 2014:: BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting at VGP Ground at Vandalur, 25 kilometres from here, on Saturday. Modi addressed two rallies earlier in the day, one in Imphal in Manipur and another in Guwahati in Assam. This is Modi's third visit to Tamil Nadu since his anointment as the PM candidate of his party in September last year.

BJP's allies Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), Tamil Nadu Makkal Katchi and Indhiya Jananayaka Katchi (IJK) shared the stage with Modi. National leaders like R Venkaiah Naidu and P Muralidhar Rao besides various state leaders were present at the rally.

Police had put up a five-tier security ring around the venue after Intelligence Bureau officials raised an alert about a possible attack on Modi during his visit. More than 5,000 police personnel were deployed at various placed across the city as well as the venue. About 5 lakh people turned up at the meeting. 

Slamming the UPA's style of functioning,Modi said, ""Centre vs State, Party vs Government, Government vs Supreme Court, Defence Minister vs Army this is what is happening". Our Federal Structure must be respected in letter & spirit. Irrespective of which party it was, Atal ji embraced them all, he said.

"Congress respect corruption a lot. Their allies are allowed to loot and in Tamil Nadu, you have the beneficiaries too", said Modi, taking a dig at the DMK government in the state.

"In the last 60 years never before has there been tension between the Centre and the Armed Forces", said Modi. But in last 10 years, the forces are dived in sectarian lines, thanks to the UPA government, he said. The thought and work culture of UPA has put India on the verge of disintegration & to save nation we need to bid them goodbye, he said. Work culture must be of cooperation but confrontation, he added.

Raj Bhawan, IT departments, various commissions and even CBI are being misused, said Modi. "To win trust votes CBI is misused. They are used to make and break governments", he said. "Grains meant for poor were given to alcohol makers at 80p even when SC said give it to the poor", he added.

"Such a noble nation we are but on all 4 sides we are being troubled be it China, SL, Bangladesh, Pakistan", said Modi, referring to the incident of Srilanka arresting Tamil fishermen. "We need a strong government in Delhi. If India is strong then our neighbours will also be friendly with us", he said. "If the Government had even little concern for the poor then the condition of the fishermen community in TN would be different", he said. Fishermen of Tamil Nadu have to face major problems. Fishermen are spending time in jails in Srilanka, he said.

Hitting out at Union minister Chidambaram, who is from Tamil Nadu, Modi said, "An arrogant minister from Tamil Nadu said Modi's knowledge is such that it can be written behind a postal stamp". "Only if you put a postal stamp, a letter gets delivered. I have proven myself as an administrator but what have you done as an economist?", Modi hit out at Chidambaram. "You are here because of Harvard, I am here because of my hardwork", he said. "Dear Finance Minister, knowledge of economics does not come from books alone", he said, taking a dig at Chidambaram. Further, Modi slammed the UPA government for not creating jobs for the youth in the country.

Thanking the six political parties who attended the rally, Modi said, " I thank the 6 political parties who have come here to cooprate with us to build a glorious India".

PM, Congress failed to ensure NE's development: Narendra Modi 

"You have tolerated Congress for 60 years.
They only made promises.
Give me just 60 months, I will fulfill your aspirations,"
Modi said. 

PTI | Guwahati/Imphal | 8 Feb 2014:: Narendra Modi today attacked Congress and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for "failing" to ensure development of Northeast though he represented Assam for the last 23 years in the Rajya Sabha.

"For 23 years you have been sending the Prime Minister from here. You tell me, you made such a big investment but what did you get in return. Did you get anything? ... If he being yours could not do anything for you, then what will he do for the nation?" Modi told public rallies in Guwahati and Imphal. 

He said even if an ordinary worker from Assam had represented the state for so many years, he could have changed the face of the state, but Singh failed to do so and owed an explanation to the people for it. 

"The Congress chief ministers invite the Prime Minister for laying foundation stone or cutting ribbons for projects, but it ends there and nothing happens afterwards," the Gujarat chief minister said. 

Modi said NDA Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had taken the initiative of creating a separate ministry for the northeastern region and taken steps to develop it, but the Congress governments in the state and the Centre "have been indulging in corruption only". 

"Among all Northeast states, Assam's condition is worst," he said, alleging "Congress leaders are narrow minded. Their thinking is narrow, dreams are small and vision is shortsighted. 

"You have tolerated Congress for 60 years. They only made promises and misguided the country. Give me just 60 months, I will fulfil your aspirations," Modi said. 

"It's only a matter of 100 days, Congress' exit is confirmed. They won't survive," the Gujarat Chief Minister said. 

Speaking about the death of Arunachal Pradesh student Nido Tania in Delhi, he said "It is a shameful incident for the nation. I offer my prayers for the boy and his family ... There is lack of governance there. There are cases of atrocities on women." [Courtesy: ET].

Avinash Nair | Ahmedabad | February 7, 2014 :: Asking the Muslim community to become job-creators instead of job-seekers, BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi on Friday asked members of the minority community to ‘stand on their own feet’ and not ‘seek help’ for a living. Modi said this while addressing a gathering, primarily consisting of Muslim businessmen from Gujarat and the middle-east countries.

“Dear friends, we have to make our own efforts. It is not good for any community to extend their arms and seek help for a living,” said Modi while addressing a handful of Muslim businessmen during the inaugural function of a three-day conclave on business harmony organised by a socio-economic organisation – Ummat – that helps over 1200 Muslim businessmen network with each other in the state

“We will have to stand on our own feet. Our kids have to become job-creators and not job-seekers,” Modi said on the opening day of three-day event that was meant to bring together Hindu and Muslim businessmen in Gujarat and bridge the “trust” gap existing between them.

“I have felt since childhood, that even the poorest of the poor kid of a Muslim is born talented. For instance, they make or repair locks… They have the skill, but do not have the opportunity. We want to give them the opportunity,” Modi told the 150-strong gathering, mostly consisting of participants and stall-attendants at the conclave which is being supported by the Gujarat government.

The Gujarat’s chief minister also floated an idea “to map the top 10-12 talents” inherent in the youths from the Muslim community.” Such talented people from the Muslim community should be brought together. They will not only stand on their own feet, but will also provide new addition to the productivity of Gujarat,” Modi said adding that while suggesting ways and means to bring the Muslim youth in to the “mainstream”.

Modi also cited several examples of Muslims in Gujarat who made a name of their own. Apart from the traditional kite-making and textile printing sectors that employ a number of Muslim artisans, he narrated the efforts of an old gentleman from Dharampur in Valsad district who used to make musical instruments, and a young farmer Ismail Sheru from Banaskantha who currently holds the record of maximum potato cultivation over a hectare.

“In Gujarat, during the last ten years, we have literally lived the four different ‘mantras’ of security, equality, prosperity and equity,” he said while simultaneously stating that efforts should be made to enhance the skills of Muslim women entrepreneurs and provide them a chance to be “part of equality and progress” in the state.

The BJP’s PM candidate also talked about how the image of Gujarat has changed from being a “trader’s state” to being a “manufacturing hub”. He also mentioned how Kutch district, having the highest Muslim population in the state, has 1732 industrial units owned by Muslims who directly contribute to the growth of the state.

Stating that every section of the society has to be taken along on the path of progress, Modi said, ” BJP needs power. But we need power to empower people,” he said.

Some of the participants at the business conclave appreciated Modi government’s effort to support to the first-of-its-kind event held in the state to promote “business harmony”.

“The chief minister talked about a lot of micro-issues and the various opportunities. He has given a number of tips. Read here the full report here>>>
