Development Of Gujarat

According to a recent study on the "Outlook for corporate investments", conducted by the Reserve Bank of India, Gujarat ranks first in India with the proposed investments of $17.8 billion in 86 projects, comprising 25.8 per cent of the total investments of $69 billion made in India during 2007. With five per cent of India's population, the State accounts for 16 per cent of industrial production, which stood at $44.4 billion in 2005-06. It boasted of a per capita income of $ 630, against the national average of $516.5. Over 41 persons out of 1,000 in the State had cellular connections (National average: 26 out of 1,000) and 118 out of 1,000 persons owned motor vehicles (National average: 57) by the end of that year..

Gujarat has made excellent progress in the realms of power, oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals . It has developed excellent roads, ports, provides 24 hour round electric power and supplies water to all most all water deficit towns and cities.

The government under Modi has fueled the corporate India's dreams of going global and, in the process setting new standards in industrial and economic excellence. It has also made great progress in establishing S E Zs which will push Gujarat higher up in industrial productivity.

The state's economy had been growing at 10%+ rate year after year. . If this is the story of growth under Hindutava, so be it, every Gujarati and I hope all Indians should welcome that.

Now you know for whom voters of Gujarat should vote.
