PM Narendra Modi has arrived in Kutch to seize his first public rally of the day in Bhuj.

Addressing the huge mass at the Bhuj public meeting, PM Narendra Modi says he is obliged for the mud being thrown at him in the run-up to the polls.

Gujarat is my heart and mother: PM Modi

Gujarat is my soul and mother, my association with you is that of equality as you call me brother, PM Modi gets emotional.

"Officers did not want to get posted to Kutch constituency as the water here was black in color. Congress did not permit Narmada water to get nearer to Kutch region. What if the Narmada waters had come to Kutch 30 years earlier? It would have brought such a big difference," PM Modi asserted

"I am grateful for all the kichad being thrown at me. After all, a lotus blossom only in kichad. So, I don't mind if more is thrown at me," PM Modi quoted.
