Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah distributed land allotment certificates to 205 families of Nava Vanjar village in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.  On this occasion, Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel and many other dignitaries were present.

Addressing the programme, Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah said that today a small but extremely significant event has taken place in Vanjar village. He said that the opposition party's government had temporarily settled the displaced people and left them in uncertainty for the future, but our government has tracked them down and provided them with land title deeds.

Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah said that with development, villages transformed into cities, but providing a comprehensive solution for these urban areas required a large budget and a long period of time. He said that in 9 wards of Ahmedabad—Gota, Chandlodiya, Bodakdev, Ghatlodiya, Jodhpur, Makarpura, Sarkhej, Vejalpur, and Thaltej—where approximately 15 lakh people reside across around 4500 colonies, a proper system for the disposal of sewage water has now been implemented. He added that upon completion of the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) scheme in this area, a total expenditure of approximately ₹400 crore will have been incurred, and this will prove to be a permanent solution to a problem that has persisted for a long time.

The Home Minister Shri Amit Shah said that by utilizing the AMRUT scheme initiated by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, the urban development schemes launched by Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel ji, and the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's own funds, a permanent arrangement for the daily disposal of dirty water from the residences of these15 lakh people have now been achieved at a cost of approximately ₹400 crore. Shri Shah said he had not believed that the inauguration of the Western Trunk Line would take place in such a short time. He stated that this project marked the first use of micro-tunneling technology in Asia, meaning the pipes were laid entirely underground without any need for surface excavation. As a result, daily traffic and movement continued without any disruption. He expressed satisfaction that the city's sewer line was completed in such a short period by the officials of the Municipal Corporation.

Shri Amit Shah said that during the discussion in the Lok Sabha, the Leader of the Opposition raised a strange question—“Why do we keep losing elections every time?”  Shri Shah said that he requests the Leader of the Opposition to understand these two programmes, and then he will realize why they keep losing elections every time. Shri Shah said that those, whom the opposition party's government had temporarily settled and then abandoned to an uncertain future, have now been tracked down and provided with land title deeds under the leadership of Narendra Modi ji by our party.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that it is the responsibility of a public representative to resolve the problems of the people whether they raise a demand or not. He said that this remarkable work culture was established by Modi ji in Gujarat and has been spread across the entire country. Shri Shah said that another example is the provision of sewer lines for a population of 15 lakh people. The Municipal Corporation, the Government of Gujarat, and the Government of India—all of them, with the same emotion and sensitivity as mine as the local MP—completed this work. He added that instead of understanding this fact, the Leader of the Opposition is busy understanding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls, which is not his job to explain.

Shri Amit Shah said that the Leader of the Opposition should not get tired of defeats yet, because it is certain that they still have to face defeat in Bengal and Tamil Nadu. He said that in 2029 as well, our government will be formed under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi ji. The reason for this is our party’s principles, with which the people are deeply connected. He said that when we build the Ram Temple, carry out surgical strikes on Pakistan, conduct air strikes, deport Bangladeshi infiltrators, rebuild the Kashi temple, abrogate Article 370, end triple talaq or introduce a Common Civil Code, opposition party oppose everything. He said the the opposition keeps opposing everything the people support. So where will they get the votes from? Shri Shah expressed satisfaction that the work culture initiated by Modi ji, the politics of development he started, and the tradition of sensitive public representatives he established, are being followed beautifully in Gujarat.
