Here are the top comments of PM Modi at the rally:

We inaugurate the projects for which we have laid foundation unlike past governments

Varanasi will become the new center of economic development

Earlier, there were government which hated development. For them, govt treasury was meant to win elections.

We want the poor to have opportunity to grow...the poor does not want their next generation to live under poverty. Our government has the same dream that a poor has for its next generation.

Our government is taking bold decisions and trying to complete projects which are pending for many years.

The world is seeing India's growth.

Within short tenure of six months, Yogi Government has done a great job. I congratulate him.

We want to develop both eastern and north eastern states.
