I had told the people of Gujarat that this time Narendra’s record should be broken. I promised that Narendra will work hard so that Bhupendra can break Narendra’s record. Gujarat has broken all records by giving the biggest mandate to the BJP in the history of Gujarat, said PM Modi.
Lauding the people of Gujarat for giving the biggest mandate in the history of Gujarat to the BJP, Modi added that the public support received by the BJP is a manifestation of the ‘youthful thinking’ of the youth of India.
PM Modi hailed the vigilance of voters and appealed to everyone to put the country first in every deed. The Prime Minister added that the “support to BJP shows people’s anger against dynastic politics and corruption is constantly growing”.

Taking a jab at the opposition parties, PM Modi stated “Those who call themselves neutral, who need to be neutral, where they stand, when and how they change colours? And how they play the game, it is very important for the country to know this.”
He added that with this historic victory, the attacks by the opposition on him and the people who have always shown remarkable support for him and the party will only intensify. “The attacks on me and y’all will only increase.
