The 63-year-old leader also emphasised that for the first time the reins of power have come to those born after Independence.

Speaking amid chants of “Modi, Modi, Modi”, he said, “Whatever may be the scale of victory, it is our responsibility in government to take everyone along. I need your blessings to achieve this humbly.” Presenting himself as an “mazdoor number one”, he said nobody, even his rivals, questions the hardwork put in by him.

“For the next 60 months, you will not get a better ‘mazdoor' (labourer),” the Prime Ministerial candidate said.  In an interactive style, the four-time Chief Minister told the crowd that till now he belonged to them, but they have now made him “national”.

“You have reposed trust in me, I repose trust in you...  When I take one step, I trust all the 125 crore people will move with me,” he said.
