Modi bids farewell to his assembly seat, praises aide Shah

“I remember when I came here during 2012 assembly election campaign; you people were shouting ‘PM PM'. I then tried to make you understand that this election is for CM and not for PM. But the voice of masses is final,” Modi said.

“I have to submit my resignation (from Maninagar) very soon. I will ensure you people get a better MLA than me,” the BJP leader said.

Praising Shah, Modi said “Amitbhai provided us more than double (Lok Sabha) seats in Uttar Pradesh. BJP won more seats in UP than what Congress secured in all states put together.”

“This is the best example of what a Gujarati can do if given responsibility,” Modi said.
