Starting the second phase of campaign in North Gujarat, PM Modi addressed a crowd in Nikol, Ahmedabad where he spoke about BJP’s chances in the upcoming elections, the rise of the middle class and the recent unparliamentary comments by Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar, and also went on to list, a host of insults meted out by Congress leaders against him.
He was quoted saying by ANI: “After travelling across Saurashtra, Kutch, South Gujarat and North Gujarat I am now in Ahmedabad. What I am seeing is extraordinary. It is clear that BJP will emerge victorious. The population of our middle class is rising and so is the strength of our middle class. This section of society aspires to progress at a quick pace. Why should it be that only malls can remain open for long durations. We ensured that small shops can also be open for long- this gives economic opportunities to several people.”
Speaking about the attack in Amarnath, he said that that the perpetrators were punished by our armed forces.
He also addressed the ‘neech’ remarks made against him by Mani Shankar Aiyar and listed the list of insults Congress had meted out to him over the years.
He said: “They have not called me 'Neech' for the first time yesterday. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and her family members have used it too. Why am I 'Neech' - because I was born poor, because I am of a lower caste, because I am a Gujarati? Is that why they hate me?”
He added that Anand Sharma had called him ‘mentally unstable’. He said: “A Congress leader re-tweeted such an offensive Tweet about me that I cannot even say it. What did Digvijaya Singh tweet about me? Evidently, one Gujarati, a person born into a poor family has troubled them a lot.”
He added: “Digvijaya Singh said Modi Sarkar is like Rakshas Raaj and Modi is Ravana. Pramod Tiwari, who headed the Congress in UP, said Modi is in the list of Hitler, Mussolini& Gaddafi. Day and night the Congress has abused me. I keep quiet only because my priority is work.”
He added that another Congress leader had called him a monkey, Jairam Ramesh had compared him to Bhasmasur and Beni Prasad Verma called him a ‘mad dog’. Ghulam Nabi Azad, he reminded the audience had called him ‘Gangu Teli’, asking if this was the way one ought to utter in public life.
He added: “Imran Masood, who they gave a ticket to, he said we will cut Modi into pieces. Renuka Chowdhury called me a virus. She said I bring Namonitis. I don't even want to get started on what Gujarat Congress leaders have been calling me.”
