What a victory and what a speech, like the rest of India I have been glued to the television ever since the results have been out or maybe even before that. My phone is bursting with messages and it is interesting how those who were strongly against Narendra Modi have changed their tunes. This is apparent on the television as well. The news anchors have lowered their volume and have stopped pontificating at the Prime Minister.
I was certain he would win, not because I am a political expert, I am not but because I know Gujarat and I know people of Gujarat. I know how they feel about their Namo and why they feel he is a capable leader. Modi has transformed Gujarat and all credit goes to him.
As we celebrate BJP victory my mind goes back to one man, my brother-in-law. I was in Ahmedabad and we were watching the news at his home when looking at the state of affairs, my angry brother-in-law said ‘Nothing is ever going to change in this country unless we change our leader. There is only one man who has the courage and the guts to redefine India and unfortunately he is not at the center. It is my challenge, send Narendra Modi to Delhi and he will become the Prime Minister.
My brother-in-law said this in the 90s and even though Advocate LG Thakkar is no more today, his words have come true. Modi has changed India!
