Forget stealing money, they lost an opportunity to project Delhi to the world13:41-Modi:In Gujarat we have started concept of One Day Governance. Why cannot this concept be replicated in Delhi?13:40-Modi: For every thing they will keep saying we gave acts. Tomorrow they may make 'acts' even to breathe & drink water13:39-Modi:At the root of all the problems is bad governance. Congress is not concerned with governance at all.13:38-Modi:And Sheila ji, you do not have to give power to the farmers. We give power to farmers at affordable rates too13:37-Modi:Commercial tariffs are also cheaper in Gujarat. Even look at Industrial Power rates13:36-Modi:Above 200 units the prices is Rs. 5.80 in Delhi, in Gujarat it is Rs. 4.57. So, who is providing cheaper power?13:35-Modi:This is a lie. For 30 units also you pay Rs. 3.90 and that is not the case in Gujarat13:35-Modi:Look at the rumours spread by Congress. They are spreading rumours that power is expensive in Gujarat than in Delhi13:34-Modi:Do you not want your own Chief Minister? Dr Harsh Vardhan has been among you for his entire life, he understands your problems13:33-Modi:The same intelligent minister said is it Government's job to sell onions? And then Delhi CM sells onions.13:32-Modi:Do you believe that if you earn above Rs. 26 you are not poor?13:31-Modi:Both Narasimha Rao & Atal ji knew about the problems faced by the common people13:30-Modi: Neither Narasimha Rao nor Vajpayee ji were considered economists. But still you could have learnt from them13:29-Modi:This dream team was appreciated initially. But have they not ruined the nation?13:28-Modi:Our PM is a big economist. We never comment on that. FM is also very educated. We never challenge that.13:27-Modi:The same Minister said prices are rising because poor are eating 2 vegetables now. Tell me, are prices rising due to this?13:26-Modi:One Minister of central government thinks he has got all the brains in the world and that the others are brainless13:25-Modi:When outsiders come, cannot we welcome them? But, they do not want to do anything. Mudda Niti Ka Nahi, Niyat Ka Hai13:24-Modi:Prices have risen whenever the Congress misrule begins. And then, they mock the poor.13:23-Modi:When Atal ji formed the Government, did prices rise?13:22-Modi: When Morarji Bhai Desai formed the government did prices rise? That was also a coalition government 13:21-Modi:One reason is they think BJP is coming to Delhi. Other reason is they would want to save Congress13:20-Modi: There is a group of people, they keep asking me- what is your vision. Have they asked the same question to Congress?13:19-People do not trust you any longer. Due to your sins you have lost people's trust13:18-Modi:Despite your dirty tricks and every effort the people of Gujarat refused to believe you. Do not think you can try these tricks anywhere.13:17-Modi:All your allegations were made in Gujarat last year13:16-Modi:It is a fashion now- elections may be anywhere but they want answers from Gujarat13:15-Modi:Delhi has such big leaders of the Centre should they not meet you, address you and talk to you13:14-Modi:But see the arrogance of the rulers of Delhi and Rajasthan. They are not willing to answer the people13:13-Modi:In Chhattisgarh Raman Singh ji went to people, Shivraj ji went to people and told them what they did13:12-Modi:Parties must give answers to the people. They must tell the people what they did13:11-Modi:What can be better than the people themselves fighting the elections! Elections are festivals of democracy13:10-Modi: This time elections are being fought by the people13:10-Modi starts his speech
