 "Nation will compare speeches from Red Fort, Gujarat: Modi")
BJP's most likely prime ministerial candidate Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that this Independence Day the nation would compare his speech with that of Prime Minister.
"On August 15 the nation will want to know what is being said from Lal Quila (Red Fort) as well as from Lalan College in Bhuj (where Gujarat's state level celebrations will be held)," Modi said while addressing a gathering of youth at Bhuj in Kutch district.
"“On one side there is disappointment and on the other side there is hope and optimism,” he claimed, targeting the UPA government, without name anybody.
The function was held on the eve of the official Independence Day function for the state in Bhuj.
On shortage of funds Modi remarked that the money was always there, only that it did not reach the people earlier. He hit out at the Centre for treating Gujarat like an enemy state.
