ON HIS birthday on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held out hope for farmers — that a “big change” will happen and they will all “be rich by 2022”. And for the disabled — that the days of “hota hai-chalta hai-dekhenge” are over.
Addressing a public function in Limkheda, in the tribal district of Dahod — his first visit to the area since becoming Prime Minister — Modi said: “I am not used to celebrating my birthday. I do not celebrate it. But it is a blessing to be among Adivasi brothers and sisters who showered me with so much love”.
The gathering comprised mostly tribals from Dahod, Chhota Udepur, Panchmahals and adjoining areas. “It is a matter of pride that the Adivasis of Dahod are pioneering flower cultivation. Very shortly, we will introduce solar pumps for farming. Innovations are constantly being attempted and a big change will come in the agriculture sector in the coming days. By 2022, the farmers of the country will be rich,” said Modi.
