Modi ends fast, talks progress but not Gujarat riots

Narendra Modi addressing thousands after ending his three-day fast in Ahmedabad, he reportedly harped on the widely recognised economic progress of Gujarat since he had become the Chief Minister a decade ago.
In the process, without naming any other governments he stated that no other government anywhere in India had managed to achieve what he had by transforming Gujarat into an economic power house. He said that his mantra was to involve people in the development schemes and to usher in a new work culture.
He said that the mood of despondency in the country has been changed by Gujarat, what people call as impossible elsewhere in India, Gujarat has made it possible.
He took a swipe at his own political tribe, saying most politicians were only interested in winning the next election. Flanked by other BJP leaders on the stage, Narendra Modi said India and Indians had stopped dreaming.
The Chief Minister underlined that he too could have run a government in a routine manner. Narendra Modi said his Sadhbhavana Mission- the name given for his fast undertaken to promote amity, should not be seen from a political prism.
He made a reference to the 2002 communal violence that engulfed Gujarat but declared that his government did not frame politics for minorities or majority community.
