04:43 pm: Modi: Lal Bahadur Shashtri used to say Jai Jawan Jai Kisan – does it stand true today? Flats were made for widows of martyrs. Ministers of the government gifted them to their relatives and friends. I want to tell you something more shocking.
We've faced so many wars and attacks –Pakistan war, Indo - China war, Maoists attack. Many of our soldiers died. But more farmers have committed suicide in the past 10 years – over 2 lakh more than soldiers who died in war.
Lal Bahadur Shashtri used to say Jai Jawan Jai Kisan, now mother – son government has made it Mar jawan Mar Kisan. Our farmers are suffering. BJP in its manifesto has stated that the amount invested by the farmers on cultivation with an addition of 50% will be given.
Brothers and sisters, this mother – son led government said that 10 crore people will get employed. Have anyone of you got? Did any of your relative get employed?
04:41 pm: Modi: We have desert in Gujarat. Even officers didn't want to go there earlier.
I called Amitabh Bachan and in five years I made it a tourist hub. People pay for sand. Can you beat that? If sand can generate income then why can't Kashi. I have the potential. I can do it.
04:38 pm: Modi: Today tourism is the most growing business. It is said that this industry is worth 3 trillion dollar.
There is 40% growth in this industry. Kashi has the capability of driving the world mad with tourism. If people visit Europe to see Shakespeare then they come here to see Tulsidas, Kabir Das and Bismallah Khan.
