AHMEDABAD: Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi praised China while addressing non-resident Gujaratis (NRG) in the US through video-conferencing on Sunday. Many are seeing this as Modi's jibe at the US for continuing with its policy of not issuing him a visa for the post-Godhra riots even seven years after the ban had been enforced. A Republican lawmaker has asked for the ban to be revoked after Modi was put on the cover of Time magazine , but US officials said last month there was no change in their stand.
"If Gujarat and China are being compared today, it is because of the success of the manufacturing sector, in which the state has taken a lead," Modi told the NRGs through a video-link from Ahmedabad."There was a time when Chinese clay pottery was famous around the world. Today, Morbi's ceramic industryis competing with China in exports." Many businessmen from Morbi were upset with the BJP for collecting funds under the Dhansangrah schemefor the upcoming elections.
"Gujarat is becoming the automobile hub of Asia. Today, I want to proudly say that there is no single vehicle in the country of which the parts are not manufactured in the state and exported and used to makevehicles," he asserted.
He also spoke about milk industry's growth. "The milk production has been increased by 68% in the state in the last decade. I can proudly say todaythat the Delhi government won't get tea unless Gujarat provides milk to it," Modi gushed.
