Exclusive: Read full interview of Narendra Modi to Rajat Sharma in Aap Ki Adalat (Part I)

New Delhi: In his first exclusive marathon interview to India TV editor-in-chief Rajat Sharma on his popular Aap Ki Adalat show, BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi opened up on a range of issues - his personal life, Gujarat riots, his relations with senior party leader L K Advani and replied to charges of giving land at throwaway prices to industrialists in Gujarat.Here is the full transcript of the interview:Rajat Sharma: Important leaders of our country - Sonia, Chidambaram, Sharad -they are all worried that wherever they go, they get to hear “Abki baar, Modi Sarkar”.Modi: I didn't know that high profile people could be worried about such issues. If they are worried they it's a sign of being small minded not big.RS: Sonia said that advertisements are being circulated in every corner of the country that project one man being the cure of all ailments. He is being presented as a miracle.Modi: Even I heard her saying that BJP has got a magician. I thought magicians make items vanish on stage. But these days Delhi is plagued with black magic. They have made jobs and coal disappear. Electricity has vanished. So they think this kind of magic is better than Black magic.RS: They say he pretends that there is no other patriot than himself. By chanting false slogans he wants to grab the PM's post.Modi: Every citizen is a patriot. Neither do I doubt anyone's patriotism nor do I claim to be the most patriotic person.RS: Rahul Gandhi says that our nation doesn't need a single chowkidaar. Modi wants to change the entire nation. I say that the nation needs crores of chowkidaars. What can a single chowkidaar do?Modi: It a good thing that he listens to my speeches carefully and he knows that crores of chowkidar will serve him good. One could pose a problem. I am worried that if there are 150 crore chowkidaars then will they include Adarsh Scam culprits and those who have snatched lands of widows of Kargil martyrs? Their LS candidates who have been accused of land acquisition of the farmer of Rajasthan - will they also be chowkidaars? If this is the case then it seems that cat will be made in-charge of milk.RS: Their slogan goes- Har haath shakti har haath tarakki.Modi: They need to come up with ideas to put a lid on their work. Their hand that commits sin has to be portrayed in some other way. That is why, for them, it's- Har haath loot, har honth jhooth (Every hand loots, every lips speak a lie).RS: Nitish alleges that this is mere publicity. On TV, Radio FM and on newspapers - only Modi sarkar is publicized. Modi has created his wave. It is self created.Modi: I don't say it myself. You (audience) all are shouting my name on your own. Has anyone taught you? (Audience: Nahi) You all are chanting on your own? (Yes) Do you think that the nation is saying this on its own?(Audience: Yes) Don't listen to me or Nitish. At least listen to the people.RS: We get messages on our mobile phones. They go as follows: twinkle twinkle little stars, Abki baar Modi sarkaar; Rahul Gandhi ne khayi chocolate bar, abki baar Modi sarkaar, parathon ke saath khao achar,Abki baar Modi sakar, dil ka bhawar kare pukaar abki baar Modi sarkar,Sonia ji ne Manmohan se kaha ab to apna moun tod do sardar, abki baarModi sarkar.Modi: I am grateful to the creative people of this nation. Had social media not existed then we would have not been able to hear about this creativity.RS: Akhilesh Yadav said in Aap Ki Adalat that Narendra Modi had hired an American agency to create such slogans for publicity. He is giving Rs 1000 crore to that agency.Modi: I have not done anything as such. This lie has been circulating for quite some time. Had I hired such a company, is it possible that it would have been in the newspapers. They would have managed it.RS: Anand Sharma, Congress Union Minister said in a press conference that BJP has spent Rs 10000 crore on publicity.Modi: The first thing that Anand Sharma needs to do is to write to the EC. Then there is a govt agency named Enforcement Directorate. Since they don't do anything, I'm giving them an idea of doing some work. Let them fully investigate it. Let Anand Sharma do it as fast as possible. If there is any objection from EC, I'm willing to writing to EC to let them do it.RS: But Rahul Gandhi says that you are a person who can sell combs to even balds.Modi: I used to sell tea. I never sold combs but the information that I can do it has reached them, is sort of achievement for me. RS: Rahul mentions in his public speeches that you are filling balloons and it will burst the same way it got deflated in 2009.Modi: They said the same thing in 2002, 2007 and 2012 when Gujarat assembly elections took place. Their balloons got deflated. They have been defeated in primary match. Now the people will decide the outcome in the final match.RS: Sonia Gandhi says that you are being presented as if nothing has been done in the past and you will change things overnight.Modi: I have already said that everything has vanished because of black magic. In the first decade of 21st century, we had such a good opportunity to take off in this era of globalization, from the point Vajpayee had left things. But instead of taking off, we collapsed on the runway itself. It has caused a great damage to the country. Have you ever seen a country that exports wheat and import breads? We are exporting iron-ore and importing steel. In this country, power units of 20,000 mw capacity are closed down. On the other hand, coal mines are also closed down. Why? Because the files have disappeared. For them, files have disappeared but for me, the life of nation has disappeared. Had coal been available, we would have got power. Small industries could have been set up that would have given employemt to youth. When we raise these questions they think that they are ruling the nation for four generations, how can a ‘chaiwallah' challenge them? In a democracy, everybody including kids have the right to ask questions from rulers.(continued... Part 2)
