Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing a Parivartan rally in Dehradun. Here are the highlights:


-- Uttarakhand won't wait for Vikas now.
-- This is the land of the gods and deities, this is the land of the brave.
-- You have overwhelmed me; I can see so many people and I am happy that women have joined this rally in large numbers.
-- The inauguration of Char Dham project is a tribute to those who lost their lives during Uttarakhand flash floods.
-- People of Uttarakhand do not wish wait any longer for development.
-- Our country has seen government that have failed to give basic facilities to 125 crore people.
-- Politicians from other parties should know by now that the people know everything, they know everything.
-- I assure you that whenever you will come for Kedarnath, Badrinath yatra, you will remember this government.
-- Hasty conception of schemes may be able to give short term political gains but the gains for people will be limited.
-- Tourism is the biggest asset of Uttarakhand. If facilities are provided, then which family in the country would not want to come here?
-- Char Dham project offers employment opportunities for the people of Uttarakhand.
-- Even after years 70 of independence, 18,000 villages have not seen electricity.
-- Wasn't voted to light lamps, cut ribbons.
-- My Government took the initiative and we decided to electrify villages within 1000 days.
-- Over 12,000 villages have already been electrified.
-- In all these years (60 years) not a single electricity pole had reached these villages. Now see what has happened. This is a government which is dedicated to the poor.
-- My Army jawans were demanding OROP for the last 40 years, the party that ruled the country then never thought of their demands.
-- Black money hoarders evading the law being caught every day.
-- I salute my Army jawans. Rs. 6,600 crore have already been disbursed under OROP.
-- In reality, the budget for OROP is over Rs. 10,000 crore. Why did they (Congress) betray the Jawans by allocating 500 crore for this.
-- We were clear that from Day 1 that our Jawans must get their due.
-- We said OROP will be a reality.
-- You have made me a watchman and now people are not comfortable that I am doing my job.
-- Black money has destroyed the country.
-- People have a problem with me freeing the country of corruption.
--We had said the corrupt will be punished, and this is happening. This is a 'Safai Abhiyaan' and people of India have helped me
