To Narendra Modi secularism means ‘India first’

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi told NRIs that to him secularism means ‘India first’.

Speaking to an Indian Diaspora in the US via video conference Modi said, “I don’t want to criticise any government. My definition of secularism is simple – India first. “

Advocating for development Modi said no one can stop India from becoming a world leader.
“We can change the world, we can and we will. Have to put right things at the right place. India has got everything. People of Gujarat have always voted for development, “he said.

On his successive win at the Gujarat assembly votes, Modi said, “My victory in back to back elections belongs to people of Gujarat. This shows development can win elections. People want development. Gujarat is discussed because of it’s development. I welcome criticism. Every government has it’s own good and bad things. We had always done things with good intentions.”

After Wharton  snub, BJP supporters have arranged this Diaspora for Modi on Saturday night in USA.

Wall Street Journal’s recent poll 92.5% said the Wharton University had made a mistake in cancelling Modi’s speech.
