| Modi addresses farmers' rally in Gujarat: highlights

| Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is addressing a farmers' rally in Narmada district of the state ahead of the foundation stone laying ceremony of the proposed 182-meters high statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Here are the highlights of his speech:
For the past many years, I had this dream (speaking of the statue).
After a lot of inputs from many people, this statue of unity's idea came to us.
It's a historic foundation ceremony for the country. We tried to incorporate everybody's views on state of unity. Many of them gave me suggestions on Sardar Patel's statue. I want to thank everyone who inspired me to build state of unity.
Garudeshwar will become a separate taluka.
History is being created on the banks on the Narmada. The Gujarat government has decided to make Garudeshwar a taluka.
New taluka being created so that Narmada project is fast-tracked. We will provide water to tribals from the Sardar Sarovar dam. Farmers and tribals won't face problems due to the project.
This was Sardar Vallabhbahi Patel's dream - the dam on Narmada. The Sadar Sarovar dam has been taking water to Gujarat and Rajasthan. Water is valuable in these states because it has always been scarce.
Many governments ruled and spent a lot in this project but this government spent double of what has been spent by the other governments.
Take the example of Kutch. People were abandoning Kutch because it had no water, now people are returning.
People in Rajasthan thank us for providing Narmada water
We priortised water allocation to many years in Gujarat.
Ghulami ki maansikta 50 saal tak chali. We still have a colonial hangover in the country.
The budget is presented at 5 pm in the evening because when the British ruled, 5 pm in India was about 11 am their time.
