What Modi said in Sydney

You remember there was a time of police verification for you when you came to India. It was very odd. Over now. I have started a website called mygov.in. Please post your suggestions and your complaints on it. Can anyone even imagine this? Today is a working day and such huge crowds in the arena."

Refers to Madison Square, said," I have started implementing everything I promised there."

You have adopted the ways of life here and our puranas say that we should be one of the 'Karmabhoomi'. You make us proud.

It takes just a few hours to reach Australia from India, but the PM of India reached Australia in 28 years.

1:33 pm: Modi should not be the recipient of this respect and love, but the 1.5 billion citizens of the great nation India. I see a alot of people standing outside; this image in Sydney is revolutionizing the countrymen in India.

Remembering the words of Swami Vivekananda, he quoted the Swami saying: "for 50 years, people of India should forget their gods and goddesses. Worship only Bharat Mata to take her to the top of the world."

And look at the strength of the words of that great man, that just after 50 years, India was free. There are many people like me who were born in Independent India. I am lucky that I was born in Independent India, but then dawned the responsibility of making India truely free. We did not have the privilege to fight for the freedom of the country, serve perilous punishment for it. But we can pledge that we have to live for the country. tolerate for the country and face all hurdles for the country.
