Praising the engineering industry in Rajkot district during his address, Modi said, "Aeroplanes will be manufactured in Gujarat soon and their spare 🌊parts will be made in Rajkot."
Some leaders built bungalows for themselves after coming into politics, but did not do anything for the poor, he⛦ said without mentioning anyone.
"They came into politics and built their bungalows, but never thought of improving the con🌟ditions of those living in slums. I have t🧜aken up the work of building houses for the poor" he said.
On the occasion, he handed over the possession of nearly 1,100 houses built♍ under the 'Light House" project to the beneficiaries.
Before the rally, the PM also led a roadshow from the a𒀰irport to the Race Course ground.
