Top ten quotes from PM Modi’s Interview

“The seeds (of the current unrest) were sown during Independence. Every government has had to face this problem. This not a new problem but an old one,” he told Network18 in an interview when asked how to solve the problem of the valley.

Here are the top ten quotes from PM Modi’s  interview to Network18:

I always maintain that people of Kashmir need both development and trust. And 125 crore Indians have always stayed committed to development. We will march on the path of development and trust.

The poison of casteism and communalism have caused enough damage to our country.

The BJP will fight Uttar Pradesh elections on development issues alone.  It’s unfortunate that in our country everything we do is immediately linked to elections. Super political pundits can’t get politics out of their minds. Their minds are buzzing with politics and it runs faster in AC rooms. The poison of casteism and communalism have caused enough damage to our country.

Development is our only agenda and it will remain so. And this is not a political issue. This is my conviction. We need to empower the poor. As far as some incidents are concerned, they have no place in civilised society.

People must stop giving political tones to social problems. It doesn’t matter whether the incident is big or small. It shouldn’t have happened in the first place. I’m devoted to the development of all Dalits. Those who see this as an obstruction to their politics that’s why they are levelling baseless allegations.

India has 80 crore youth below the age of 30. They can change the fortunes of the country.I started the Start Up initiative to empower the youth.

Violence against dalits and tribals, data shows that these incidents have gone down as compared to the previous govt. Law and order is state subject, some issue are selectively picked up and blaming Modi for it. I don’t know how it serves any purpose.

Development is our only agenda and it will remain so. And this is not a political issue. This is my conviction. We need to empower the poor. As far as some incidents are concerned, they have no place in civilised society.

Today there is sometimes mistrust between states, GST will make this process very transparent.

There was a time when we were being seen as a sinking ship. But today we are seen as a bright spot in the economy.
