determined not to limit himself to doing ordinary things that are
conventionally done by Governments.
The Chief Minister further shared, “I used to tell people abroad- I
only want you to come to Gujarat once. I told them- feel Gujarat.
It was asked yesterday what is there in the soil of Gujarat. (I can
say) there is purity in this soil, there is the sweat of the hard work
of our ancestors.”
If we do not understand the world, we will be like frogs in a well
During his speech, Shri Modi stressed on the need to walk in sync
with the rest of the world. He avowed, “We want to scale new
heights of development. At the same time if we do not understand
the world, if we do not talk to them we will become like frogs in
a well. We will feel we did a lot but when we see the world we
will feel- see where they have reached. We want to reach there.
That is when dreams take shape.”
He further added, “In changing times we cannot be different
from the world. We cannot go ahead like this. Such summits are
an opportunity to understand the changing world.” Shri Modi
remarked, “So many people in line for the exhibitions- we have
created an urge and this is our major success. They feel , today
we are seeing things, tomorrow we can get them. There is a
transformation and we need to understand this.”
The bond in Gujarat is stronger than the brand!
The Chief Minister said that the Vibrant Gujarat is a summit of
which the entire state would be proud. He remarked, “People
from 121 nations are coming here and experiencing the love of
Gujarat. You see so many of them saying
Kem Cho, Namaste
. We
cannot measure all this by a thermometer. It is the love of the
people across the world for Gujarat. This bond is priceless. This
bonding is stronger than branding.”
