growing demand of the Indian market. The annual capacity of this plant would be
5,00,000 unit in its first phase of the total three phases planned as of now. The company
would be investing to the tune of INR 380 Crore (approx. US$ 76 million) for their setups

“Congress in other states seeks vote promising Gujarat like development”
Concluding his day-long Sadbhavana mission fast at Godhra, Gujarat Chief Minister in his
speech today said how Congress leaders treat Gujarat as a benchmark of development in
the country.
“In Punjab some days back there was an election rally, and to attract votes, former Chief
Minister and Congress leader Amarinder Singh publicly said to the people of Punjab, that
if they give vote, he would take Punjab ahead like Gujarat,” Modi said in his speech.
Modi added, “This means even in Punjab they are thinking to go ahead following the
Gujarat model.”
Modi further said, “in all over India, when they want to say something about prospect of
development, they have to name Gujarat. If they want to say they have achieved
development in some avenue, they compare it with gujarat and say they are ahead than
Gujarat in this area. When they promise development, they say they would take the
state ahead like Gujarat.”
With this, Modi said why should he react to the Congress people here(in Gujarat)? „
“Just copying Modi would not work. If you adopt some scheme, you would be in position
to achieve some improvement, but if they want to develop the entire state, then I would
request that the rulers would not achieve that just by adopting the schemes effective in
Gujarat, but they would have to take note of the unity, peace and brotherhood that is
prevailing here in the state of Gujarat. How castism, religious differences are buried here
is a thing to be identified. When you would do same in your state, your state also will go
ahead like Gujarat. This is the remedy that I want to reveal before the nation,” Modi
added.

Gujarat Tourism campaign brings more result than Incredible India-Big B
India‟s megastar Amitabh Bachchan is
coming back to Gujarat today to shoot the
second phase of the Gujarat Tourism
campaign.
On his blog yesterday, Bachchan said the
growth rate in tourism in Gujarat bas been
bigger and larger than the Government of
India campaign Incredible India.
Bachchan in his blog said, “Off again to
Gujarat tomorrow and into the second
phase of the tourism campaign, which I
must admit has turned out to be a
magnificent success. The growth rate in tourism in Gujarat has been bigger and larger
than the Government of India campaign Incredible India and that has made all those of
us that were involved in the working of it, very proud.”
He added, “All those that criticized, all those that raised objectionable content against
me, all laid to rest. It is satisfying to see how the work you put in succeeds, but even
more so when it succeeds despite heavy apprehensive motivations. It is not in order to
talk about achievements. Achievements have a habit of talking themselves, so one shall
not rub in the moment. But one cannot but lament the expense of such negativity, the
energy wasted and the destruction of all the positive forces within. Its futility is a heavy
price to pay. Better then to wait for results before pulling out the sword from the
scabbard.”
