3 pm: Modi: Most of the Muslim families in our state are engaged in kite making. I spent a whole day and training was given to kite makers. Earlier, our kite industry was Rs 30 cr in Gujarat, today it is Rs 700 crore. The lives of poorest of poor Muslims there has changed.
2:59 pm: Modi: There is huge potential for small industries here. But the govt has opened the doors for Chinese goods, and small industries are closing down, rendering thousands of people employed. The govt in Delhi gives cheap gas to the rich in the capital, but gives costly gas to the industries in Firozabad.
2:58 pm: Modi: I appeal to EC authorities in UP and the EC of India to ensure free and fair reporting in Firozabad. I will keep watch on each and every polling booth here. We will install our own video cameras and I will see how booth capturing is done.
EC has no right to work in a partisan manner. If EC is free and fair, nobody can suppress honest and sincere people.
