I ask each one of you to vote for BJP. 2:05 Modi: That's why I request you all to send over 300 lotuses to Delhi. This time there'll be many states where they (Congress party) will not even get double digits. They will get single digits. 2:04 Modi: I'm not asking for whose government, I'm asking - what kind of Government do you want? Do you want a deaf and dumb government? No, we want a strong government. A government that will make the nation strong. 2:03 Modi: What kind of a government do you want in Centre? (Crowd shouts Modi Government)2:01 Modi: Deve Gowda says that if Modi becomes PM then I'll leave Karnataka and go elsewhere (crowd cheers) Deve Gowda- if you have to leave Karnataka, then come to Gujarat. I'll treat you like my son. You can stay in old age home, farm house or elsewhere, it's your choice. I'll ensure that you are comfortable. If you fulfill your promise then Gujarat will welcome you. 1:59 Modi: 10 years is not a small time. In Chikmagalur there are many Tamilians. Tomorrow is their New Year. I greet you all and I'll be visiting Rajnikant too greet him too. 1:58 Modi: Has anyone benefited in these 10 years? I ask everyone in all the villages. All of them admit that they have not benefited. 1:55: Modi: Once Yeddyurappa came to Gujarat to seek help for cultivation of plants; We helped. Congress people don't know how to bring out solutions. 1:54 Modi: In such a case, Congress's slogan should be Mar Jawan mar Kisan. 1:51: Modi: Lal Bahadur Shastri said – Jai Jawan jai kisan. But what congress is doing today is ruining our army and farmers. Terrorists and Maoists are killing army men but more than that our farmers are dying by committing suicide. 1:50: Modi: If there are good packaging industries in Chikmagalur then production will increase. 1:49: Modi: I share special relations with you. I used to sell tea and you grow coffee. Coffee and tea go hand in hand in India. Delhi government doesn't understand global economy and know how Chikmagalur could be famous. New technology has to be used; marketing and packing can help in boasting coffee export. 1:48: Modi: Another Congress minister said that India has been poor since ages. 1:46: There's someone in Congress who has spent their life abroad and is from Chikmagalur. He constantly critises India. How can one eat at an aunt's place and talk ill of mother. Our PM went to President Obama and said that my nation is poor. Why does one have to say that to Obama? 1:45 Modi: Our country knows and understands the deeds of Congress. They have been exposed. Our nation doesn't want promises but the right intention1:44 Modi: You were with Indira Gandhi in her times of trouble. Despite that she hardly did anything for you. I'll work for you ten times of what she did. 1:42 Modi: The love that you have bestowed upon me and your strife – I will not let them die in vain. I'll repay you. 1:40: Modi: Some political pundits do election analysis. I keep telling them that your arithmetic is not going to work in this election. This election is about 125 crore people's chemistry. Can you imagine in Chikmagalur, lakhs of people are assembled under the scorching heat today. 1:39: Modi begins his speech by greeting the masses.
