Addresses an event to mark 20 years of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in Science City, Ahmedabad, PM Modi said, “Vibrant Gujarat is not just a branding event, but it’s an event of bonding. For the world, this successful summit may be a brand, but for me, it is a sign of strong bond. This is the bond between me and 7 crore people of Gujarat.”
Recalling his days as the chief minister of Gujarat, PM Modi said that he didn’t have much experience as the CM then but all that he had was the unbreakable trust of the people of the state.
“I didn’t have much experience as a CM, but I had unbreakable trust of the people of Gujarat. However, those who carry agenda, they were busy doing their own analysis of the incidents,” said PM Modi referring to his detractors.
He said Vibrant Gujarat Summit was made a primary medium not just for the redevelopment of Gujarat but also its future.

“Not just the redevelopment of Gujarat, we were also thinking about its future, and Vibrant Gujarat Summit was made a primary medium for that. It became a medium to boost the self-confidence of Gujarat and make eye-to-eye contact with the world,” said the Prime Minister.
Attacking the previous central governments, he said those in power used to threaten foreign investors and tried to stop them from coming to Gujarat.
