RS: Rahul Gandhi says that Gujarat's credibility cannot be proved because the state does not have RTI, the biggest information right that he has given to the citizens.
Modi: These days he goes around saying that he has given this law and that law...ask him, does RTI apply to J&K? Do Right to education and Anti - corruption Bill apply to Kashmir? First he should see what his government has done. Moreover, Gujarat has RTI and there have never been any complains in Gujarat on RTI.
RS: Now that you have mentioned Supreme Court I will have to take my case back.
Audience: If your government is formed, will you give an assurance to Christian brothers and sisters that their churches will not be broken down?
Modi: I have never heard of such incidents taking place...
Audience: That they won't be burnt...?
Modi: I have never heard of such instances. Our country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all Gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him. That is why our constitution does not allow any discrimination. We cannot have communal discussions. We can be religious but not communal. That is why BJP's moto is Sarva Panth Sambhav. In Gujarat we have the world's smallest community - Parsi. They even have a pilgrimage centre there. Look at the rich history of India. We have never tried to bring down any community's place of worship through sword or violence. Castes and religious divides are holding the nation backfrom growing. I want you all to be at peace.
RS: You have given consolation to Parsis and Christians. Can you give assurance to Muslims?
Modi: Every citizen of this nation has those rights and privileges that Narendra Modi has.
RS: So nobody has to fear you.
Modi: Some people will have to be afraid. Those who plunder the nation, deliver injustice, will have to feel scared of me. And I am not afraid of admitting this. Government cannot be so lenient that it forgives them. People must have sense of security. This does not exist and that is what causes all the trouble. You have to maintain some decorum even at home. And if it is a crime to maintain discipline then I admit my crime.
RS: There's one man's rule in BJP. Modi's name is chanted everywhere. Even on all the posters. It appears that there is no other leader left in BJP.
Modi: This is not true. BJP is a huge organization. It works in that structure. There is a galaxy of leaders who are equally competent. During elections we have to set a goal and prioritize issues. Even for this there is a committee of which Modi is not a part. Previously we worked under Atal ji's guidance. Then we worked under Advani ji, Harshvardhan in Delhi, Shivraj Singh in MP and in Rajasthan we worked under Vasundhara Raje. So responsibilities are distributed according to the party's goal. Right now I have been given this role and I have to do what the party has asked me to do. I am a worker of the party. We are a team.
