On his special day, let’s look at the controversial statements that our PM gave

1. Modi was asked if he would like to be the prime minister of India, to which he replied:

“Before I became a chief minister I never thought that one day I’d be the chief minister. My basic philosophy is, I don’t want to be anything. But I want to do something. So I’m not interested in becoming anything, but I am interested in doing something for my country and for the poor people.”

2. When asked about apologizing for the 2002 riots, he replied:

“One can only ask for forgiveness if one is guilty of a crime. If you think it’s such a big crime, why should the culprit be forgiven? Just because Modi is a chief minister, why should he be forgiven? I think Modi should get the biggest punishment possible if he is guilty. And the world should know there isn’t any tolerance for this kind of political leaders.”

3. When asked about high malnutrition rates in Gujarat, he said:

“Gujarat is by and large a vegetarian state. And secondly, Gujarat is also a middle-class state. The middle-class is more beauty conscious than health conscious – that is a challenge. If a mother tells her daughter to have milk, they’ll have a fight. She’ll tell her mother, “I won’t drink milk. I’ll get fat’”.

4. Targeted Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s foreign trips for medical purposes:

“To those Congress friends, who are accusing our government of uncontrolled expenditure, I want to ask: is it not true that on the foreign travels of the president of the Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, in the past three years, 1,880 crore (18.8 billion) rupees has been spent from the public exchequer … This clearly means that more than the total yearly budget of Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh and Rajkot Municipal Corporation combined has been spent only on the foreign trips of Sonia Gandhi and on her luxury hotel stays.”

5. Politics and Business :

“I believe the government has no business to do business. Minimum government, maximum governance.”
