12:06pm: Modi concludes his speech with chants of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".
12:04 pm- Modi: I request all the candidate to stand with me.
12:03 pm: Modi: Shouldn't Jharkhand also be in the forefront? Shouldn't people cheer for your state too? This is possible, if you elect the BJP and give us complete mandate.
12:00 pm: Modi: Our rivals have got nothing to attack us so now they are lying. Today the entire world is hailing India. Even America is chanting Bharat- Mata ki Jai. Be it Japan, Australia and even Nepal…all are exalting India. It's not because of Modi. The credit goes to you. When world leaders shake hands with Modi, they don't admire me…they think of 1.25 billion people who have given my government a complete mandate.
11: 57 am- Modi: Give BJP a clear mandate and I assure you that change will come within five years. Brothers and sisters, the people of this country have rejected dynastic politics. Just imagine, you have punished them so severely that they couldn't even get the post of Leader of Opposition. Yet they haven't learned any lesson. They are talking in the same tone.This is because they feel that they are born to govern.
11:54 am- Modi: If there is no coal or iron ore in jharkhand, will it not hamper lives of the people of the state? The government has now formulated schemes so that Jharkhand could benefit. Coal alone can brighten Jharkhand and the entire nation. But governments of the past have misused natural resources. Jharkhand kept getting poorer, its youth left their homeland and went from state to state in search of employment. Jharkhand has now been left behind. The policies that we have framed will not allow anyone to loot coal anymore Jharkhand has now been left behind.You have the strength to provide employment to all the youth of the nation. You are most powerful.
11:46 am- Modi: I have come here before, but I want to say something to you…almost 15 years have passed since Jharkhand was formed by Atalji. Now when a baby is born in the family, till the age of 13-14, their growth is slow. But after the age of 13, they start growing rapidly. Their voices change, children start changing. And the period between the age of 13 to 18, is very crucial for the child. Smart parents take keen interest in their child at this stage. When children are given proper care at this stage they move on in their life smoothly and for good. And if you don't take care, your children might go astray. This concept applies to the state too. If you hand Jharkhand over into wrong hands then, you will suffer.
11:43am- Modi: I also want to thank you. Jamshedpur supported us and with your cooperation, we were able to form a strong and stable government at the Centre. Hence, first I want to lovingly chide you and then thank you. So I can say that when half of you were here, you voted generously. Now that so many of you are here, I am confident that you will give us even more votes, a historic mandate.The love that you have showered on me I will definitely return it with interest.
11:40am- Modi: I don't want to ask you for anything, but today I certainly want to lodge a complaint with you,I hope you won't mind.When I came during LS poll at the same venue,this ground was half empty,today no empty space is to be seen. Why did you do this to me?
