No chance for Congress as BJP storm has hit Gujarat, says PM Modi in Bharuch: Top 10 quotes

AHMEDABAD: Three after he addressed four campaign meetings for the BJP in the poll-bound state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on Sunday back to his home state in the run-up to the crucial upcoming assembly elections.

The Prime Minister addressed a rally at Bharuch where he accused Congress of ruining at least 70 years of the country. He also spoke about development activities carried out by BJP in Bharuch and Kutch where curfew and violence were common. 

After Bharuch, Modi will travel to Surendranagar, where he will address another poll gathering later in the day in the afternoon. Modi will address another rally at Rajkot around 7 pm today. 

Here are some of the top quotes from his speech at Bharuch: 

• When the Statue of Unity will be erected in the next two years, then people will cross the roads of Bharuch to reach there. This will help tourism in the district
   
• When a common man gets security, then 'vikaas' can easily take place. That is why security is important: PM Modi in Bharuch
   
• We worked for drip irrigation and encouraged farmers to use modern technology. For a prosperous Bharuch and Gujarat, pray for BJP's astounding victory. I helped negotiate Rs 1 lakh crore from Japan for the bullet train free of interest. UPA could not take the discussion forward with Japan at all, says the PM in Bharuch
   
• My problem with Congress politics is simple- they oppose us just for the sake of opposing. They oppose things like bullet train only because they could not take this initiative forward and are envious someone else is: PM
   
• When there were floods in Banaskantha, Congress leaders were in Bengaluru to save 1 leader from losing a Rajya Sabha poll. That same leader is the topmost Congress leader but what did he do for Bharuch. He was unable to work for the Narmada, neither did he think about ro-ro ferry: PM
   
• Curfews and violence were common in Bharuch. BJP changed this, not only in Bharuch but all over Gujarat. Only BJP can develop Gujarat and no one else, says PM Modi 
   
• Bharuch and Kutch are districts with significant Muslim populations. And, if you see the districts which developed rapidly under the BJP tenure in Gujarat, the names of these two districts figure prominently: PM
   
• Congress strategy is to divide people- divide people into lines of caste, community, urban-rural. All this just for power: PM
   
• In Uttar Pradesh, where the Congress ruled for decades, the state from where generations of top Congress leaders belong. We saw what happened there in the local elections. Congress was wiped out. UP knows the Congress well and so does Gujarat: PM Modi
   
• Through your vote, I request you to support the development journey of our nation: Modi
