Making his speech at the venue of Modi’s three-day fast, Advani sought to showcase Gujarat’s example as a case of good governance. The senior BJP leader strongly proposed zero-tolerance against corruption and terrorism.
“In Gujarat, there is good administration and there is zero tolerance towards corruption and terrorism. If this policy is adopted across the country, then India would rise to new heights,” Advani said at Modi’s three-day fast for ‘peace,
unity and communal harmony’.
Advani said that Gujarat has touched the forefront of development under Modi. He also said that Modi’s sadbhavna fast aims to clear all misunderstandings about the chief minister. The veteran BJP leader also blessed Modi on the occasion and also thanked AIaDMK chief Jayalalithaa for her support.
Commenting on Modi’s speech at his fast venue, BJP leader Arun Jaitley said, “In the next few months, each and every word of what Modi has said would be analysed.” He said on the one hand, Gujarat has a government which is taking the state to “new heights” and on the other hand, you have a “worrisome situation” over the atmosphere of “corruption and despair” at the central level.
Terming Modi’s fast as “historical”, Jaitley said that from 2002, after facing cyclones, earthquakes and communal riots, the way Gujarat has come up on the national scene, it showcased the strength of the political leadership in the
state.
Accusing the Centre of weakening the federal structure, Jaitley said during the meeting of the National Integration Council (NIC) last week, all the states had said that the federal structure of the country was being weakened.
