Jagdishbhai Vishwakarma Fuels Vibrant Gujarat in Surat
Shri Jagdishbhai Vishwakarma Attends the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference in Surat
BJP State President Shri Jagdishbhai Vishwakarma attended the closing ceremony of the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference, South Gujarat. The event was held at Auro University in Surat.
In his speech, Shri Jagdishbhai Vishwakarma said that in 2003, Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit while he was the Chief Minister. This move put Gujarat on the world map for business. Over the last 20 years, Gujarat has become a model of growth for the whole country. He explained that this model stands on three pillars: Talent, Technology, and Transparency.
He shared that under PM Modi’s leadership, Gujarat has followed the idea of “One Family, One Earth, One Future.” In the past, the country mostly relied on farming. Today, Gujarat leads in many areas like:
- Industry and Digital Services
- Tourism and Health
- Green and Blue energy
The state is business-friendly because of simple rules, strong transport links, and good safety. He called Gujarat the safest state in India with the best facilities. He also praised Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, and the whole team for keeping this progress going.
