The prime minister-elect also stressed the need for strengthening institutions for the good work to continue. “A person based approach is not everlasting. We need to institutionalise ideas where person comes and goes but good work continues. If some people will study the last 12 years of Gujarat, they would find that there was stress on building institutions,” the 63-year-old leader said.
Modi said that when he came to Gujarat as chief minister, the situation was grim after earthquake, cyclone and scams in cooperative banks like Madhavprua Co-operative bank. He listed his achievements, which according to him, helped change the face of Gujarat.
“I personally believe that CAG reports must not be used for political gains but utilised to find solutions. I introduced such a system here and asked my men to go to the roots of problems (mentioned in CAG reports),” he said.
“I am always of the opinion that an MLA is supreme in democracy, no matter which party he represents. Voice of a legislator means voice of people. Not just BJP MLAs, but all who are present here, have worked hard to solve problems of this state,” he said.
