My stand has always been clear that I am from Gujarat and will keep working for the state.
My experience in Gujarat shows that howsoever big a problem might be, it is not insurmountable if we have the will to act.
What is Gujarat? You and I are Gujarat, friends! If we read, Gujarat will read. Let us all read. Where there are 5. 5 crore Gujaratis, that is my Gujarat and where each Gujarati reads, that is my Vanche Gujarat. Let us move forward with this fervour.
This country has attained 'Swarajya', but unfortunately the dream of 'Surajya' is left unfulfilled. Today, if there is any major challenge before this country, it is that of a 'Surajya' and since the last decade, Gujarat is working in the direction of attaining Surajya.
Gujarat, with its all inclusive, sustainable and rapid growth, is emerging as a globally preferred place to live in and to do business.
Allocating budgets will not suffice. We need to make focused efforts at developing the tribal belt of Gujarat
Gujarat is all about Trade with Tradition, Commerce with Culture, Enterprise with Entertainment and Development with Disaster management.
It has been Gujarat's strength to do development with Jan Bhagidari.
Only If there is devotion to knowledge, the 21st century will become India's century and the foundation of that will be laid by the 'Vanche Gujarat' movement.
If the 21st Century is the era of knowledge and of knowledgeable human-force, then, to extol this force, Gujarat must form a strong bond with books.
A thought come in my mind, have the people of Gujarat elected me to adorn my home? NO. . . if I want to adorn something. It will not be my home. It will be my Gujarat.
