*Government has always said we are ready to debate. I am not being allowed to speak in Lok Sabha so I am speaking in the Jan Sabha.
* Parliament is not being allowed to function. Happenings in Parliament anguished our President, who has tremendous political experience.
* We belong to a nation where we do not think ‘what’s my interest’. We are not a selfish nation. We think about future generations.
* For 70 years, the honest have been looted. But now I am standing with them & that’s why they are being provoked. We are standing with the poor of the nation.
* Who is unhappy with corruption? Not those perpetrating corruption…it is the poor, the common citizens who are unhappy.
* With our step on currency notes, we have been successful in weakening the hands of terrorists, those in fake currency rackets.
* For how long can poor of India be told to pay for houses in cash. For how long will poor be asked — you want Pucca bill or Kuccha bill?.
* Today everyone in the nation is discussing the issue of currency notes. We took the decision on currency notes to strengthen the hands of the poor of the nation.
* Earlier, due to draught farmers committed suicide but changes came & farmers adopted livestock leading to white revolution. Along with ‘Shwet Kranti’, here there is also a ‘Sweet Kranti.’ People are being trained in honey products.
* When I took over as CM, I would tell farmers that you need to focus on water as much as you focus on electricity. The farmers in Banaskantha heard my request and embraced drip irrigation. This changed their lives and lives of future generations. The farmers here turned to dairy and animal husbandry. This was beneficial for the farmers.
* There was a time when people from Kutch & Banaskantha would leave their homes in search of better opportunities. It is not the case now.
* I am told it is after a very long time that a Prime Minister is visiting Banaskantha. But, I am here not as PM but as a son of this soil.
* If anyone can breathe life into a rigid desert, it’s the farmers of North Gujarat. The farmers of North Gujarat have shown to the world what they are capable of More highlights from PM Modi’s rally speech in Deesa town:
* Like 100 Rs currency notes have gained in strength, the poor has also been empowered.
* India wants to progress. Corruption and black money is slowing our progress and adversely affecting the poor. These evils have to end.
* Today your banks and wallets are in your mobile. This is how things have changed. I urge you all to integrate people with e-banking, e-wallets. There is no need to waste your time standing outside banks or ATMs, e-wallets have brought banks to your mobiles.
* You must have seen how bank officials and others who have stashed huge amount of black money are being caught. They thought they can escape through back-channels but they didn’t know that Modi has installed cameras in the back-channels as well. I want to assure the people of the country that no one will be spared.
* Had asked for 50 days. You will see how things will change. This is a major step to rid the nation from corruption.
* Merely talking about the poor is different from working for the poor, something that the NDA government is always doing.
* From the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel I want to share something with my friends in the Opposition. Yes, during elections we have a lot of heated debates. But we all call for increased voter turnout. Likewise, yes, you can oppose me but do teach people about banking, using technology for financial transactions.
