It is a tribute to Indian democracy that a person from a poor family, an ordinary family, is today addressing the nation from the Red Fort.

I salute the poor of our country who have deposited more than Rs 20,000 crore in Jan Dhan Bank Accounts.

For me, the involvement of states in our national effort is not just because of their constitutional and legal responsibilities. It is also stems from a basic management principle. The chances of success are higher when we create a sense of participation for everyone; when we give everyone a stake in success.

If we decide, we can change the pitiable condition of Indian economy. We have to take up the responsibility and show commitment.

We always remember the courage of the people of Kargil! We want to make Kargil among India's most developed districts.

From experience I can say that we can make our nation corruption free. Only promises won't help...Irade Nek Hone Chahiye.

For 14 years no PM had gone to Jammu and Kashmir. Atal ji changed that and went to Jammu and Kashmir. He gave 3 Mantas- Insaniyat, Jamhuriat and Kashmiriyat (Humanity, democracy and J&K). We aspire to walk on that path
