‘I have made this Gujarat’, PM Modi coins new election slogan in home state

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 6 launched the BJP’s new election slogan in poll-bound Gujarat - 'I have made this Gujarat'.

“We've been working continuously for the development of Gujarat. Every Gujarati is full of self-confidence, that's why every Gujarati speaks, the voice of the inner soul speaks, every sound comes from the heart of Gujarat, I have made this Gujarat,” PM Modi said at a public meeting event in Kaprada.

The Prime Minister, during his address, also slammed the Congress party (without naming it) by accusing it of ‘defaming the state.

"Gujarat will sweep away divisive forces that have spent their last 20 years defaming the state," the PM said.

PM Modi launched his Gujarat election campaign from the Kaprada assembly constituency. It is reserved for the Scheduled Tribes candidates.

In his address, the PM reminded the tribal community of the work that the BJP has done for them, stressing how important the tribal community is to him.

Notably, this is the first visit of PM Modi to Gujarat after the Assembly elections were announced by the Election Commission.

The Prime Minister is also scheduled to attend a mass marriage ceremony - 'Papa Ni Pari' Lagnotsav 2022 in Bhavnagar. During the ceremony, as many as 522 girls (who don’t have fathers) will get married.

The BJP has already intensified its election campaign in the poll-bound state, as its star campaigners, including Amit Shah and PM Modi, have already visited Gujarat multiple times. 

The Assembly elections in Gujarat will be conducted in two phases on December 1 and December 5. The result will be announced on December 8.
