And all the ministers, including Narendra Modi, went to each and every village of Kutch and Bhuj during the Diwali period. Pankaj Mehta from Rapar in Kutch said, “When Narendra Bhai was assigned with the responsibility of the campaigning committee at the national level, he was holding public meetings in the whole country. Today there is not only the industry, but Kutch has also emerged as a hub of food and vegetable not only in Gujarat but in the whole world. When he knew that there can be a higher production of fruit in Kutch, he shaped an altogether separate policy for that and helped the farmers for growing that crop. In the discussions that took place there, Narendra Bhai told us that this is one of its kind places in the world and we must show this to the world.” Accordingly, for the industries that settled in Kutch in the next five years, there was no taxation from the state in those five years.” I realized that this is not the voice of a politician. Bharat Shah, a resident of Anjar in Kutch said, “The earthquake hit this area in 2001. The former additional chief secretary of Gujarat, Rajiv Kumar Gupta said, “The Kutch as you see it today, and the people living in Kutch are seeing it today, no one would have imagined that Kutch will one day become one of the most industrialized districts of the Gujarat state. Jeetendra Patel of Vadodara said, “When Narendra Bhai took charge as the chief minister of the state for the first time, the very first challenge he faced was the rehabilitation works of the 2001 earthquake. A helicopter was called on the same evening and the boy was taken to Pune for treatment. The memorial, which spans nearly 470 acres, was built to honour the spirit of resilience in the aftermath of the 2001 earthquake, which killed 13,000 people in Bhuj.
