Be Happy Guys!!!

I just got back from Sanand. Its some 30 kms from Ahmedabad. The reason for it to be in focus is because Ratan Tata is setting up Nano's mother plant in coming days. After all the trouble he had to go through in Singur in West Bengal, Sanand was the chosen one. And though a few people wouldnt want to admit, the credit definitely goes to the Gujarat CM Narendra Modi. And unfortunately, many people cannot digest the fact that Nano came to Gujarat only because Modi worked on it relentlessly.
Whats your problem guys??? Just that you did not get the credit for doing it? Or just because you are plain jealous of the guy?? Or your conscience which is anti-Modi, doesnt allow you to be happy for your state's progress?? I think its high time we give Modi the due praise which he rightly deserves... Even a wrong man can do a right thing once in a while. And getting Nano to Gujarat is no easy feat. Yes, there's this 2002 genocide on his sleeve, but look at the rest for once. Gujarat is the No 1 investment destination in country... It was never so before Modi took over. Gujarat has flawless roads and electricity supply... Ask someone who's living in Maharashtra or Madhya Pradesh or Bihar... or even Delhi.
I am very happy. I wish 2002 had never happened. Nothing could have stopped Modi then from becoming everyone's favourite. Perhaps, Modi too, as an afterthought, must be going through the same feeling. But past always catches up on you. And human beings have this peculiar habit of always remembering the wrong and forgetting the good or right.

I suggest - leave your prejudices against the man aside for a while. Think about the honour, pride and prestige that he's brought to the state. If nothing, do consider that India's biggest Steel maker - TATA is extremely happy with our state and the government.
And all this that we keep on cribbing about - the equality, the education, the infrastructure, the opportunities, the lifestyle - all of that comes from money. Money comes from growth and progress. And growth and progress happens only when you accept it with open arms and minds, leaving your prejudice and hatred for a man aside.

For all those - who arent happy about acknowledging Modi for his efforts, its time to give up small bickerings!! For once, leave that frown aside. If nothing, its about Gujarat... Gujarat is doing well. Gujarat is gaining popularity. Gujarat is going to make money. And if for once, Gujarat is being known for Nano and not for Godhra - I am sure its deserves a chance.
