Sadbhavana demands Sauna Saath, Sauno Vikas, meaning inclusive growth with collective efforts
Sadbhavana demands Sauna Saath, Sauno Vikas, meaning inclusive growth with collective efforts It is an apolitical social movement to spread the message of peace and harmony from Gujarat to showcase to the world Narendra Modi at Patan

The Chief Minister said that the people of Gujarat has not seen any riots over communalism or casteism, no bloodsheds, no farmers violent agitations. It is all because the people have realized the strength of sadbhavana or goodwill. The mission is being carried to each district for the peoples involvement to make democracy stronger from the villages-level upwards, removing poverty, malnutrition and miseries. The feeling persisted in our villages for long, but was lately forgotten. Now the same feeling is being rekindled, he said. He said the first stepping stone for Sadbhavana or goodwill is Sauna Saath, Sauno Vikas, which means inclusive growth with collective efforts. He listed steps undertaken by his government like Mission Mangalam to empower rural women and the poor and make them self-reliant.

Modi woos China in Mandarin

From the time Narendra Modi proffered local dignitaries in Beijing a brand-new Mandarin language visiting card coloured the favourite red of the Chinese Communist Party for good measure to the voice-over of his video presentation (which was in Chinese rather than as usual with Indian presentations, indesi English), it was clear that he had researched his hosts as thoroughly as they had studied him, probably a first for Indian politicians visiting the Chinese capital. Modi, who landed in Beijing on 9 November with an entourage of nearly two dozen business leaders from Gujarat, is not the first Chief Minister to come at the invitation of the Central Committee of the CCP. Just this year, Nitish Kumar was here on the same invite, as were B.S. Yeddyurappa, Y.S.R. Reddy, Tarun Gogoi and even Haryana's pride Bhupinder Hooda in past years. However, none of the others came as prepared as Modi obviously was to charm his hosts. Although modestly denying any national ambitions ("I am here to serve my state of Gujarat"), he was pointed in drawing attention to the fact that his state was achieving a growth rate of 12%, with even the agricultural sector clocking a record-breaking 10% last year. And at 40%, the urban population of Gujarat is closer to China than to the rest of India. He claimed that Gujarat was "the Guangdong of India", the province that had kicked off economic reform in the PRC in the 1980s. Listening to his recital of the state's achievements, one of those present whispered to his neighbour that "Narendra Modi may be the Deng Xiaoping of India", should he become the Prime Minister, thereby placing Modi in the flattering bracket of the visionary who steered the reforms which transformed China within a generation from a Third World country to a superpower.
