Modi said during this time that Surat is a leading city of Gujarat in many cases. Surat is going ahead in providing protection of food and nutrition to the poor today. The food safety, fullness campaign that has been launched here today, will also be an inspiration for other people. This perfection campaign ensures- ‘There is no discrimination, no one is left, no one is angry nor anyone is cheated’. It except the spirit of appeasement leads to the sacred sense of satisfaction. When the government is going to the beneficiary’s door, then how will someone be left… and when no one will be left, then how will anyone get angry. When thinking that we have to benefit everyone, then the cheating people run away.

Now, no matter what the ration card is, the beneficiary gets its benefit in every city of the country. Modi said that in the last decade, we worked on mission mode to empower the poor in the whole country. A security shield was made around the poor so that he would not have to spread his hand in front of anyone. Be sure to be a house, toilet, gas connection, tap connection … This gave the poor a new confidence.
