Speaking at Adipur, Kutch, while inaugurating a railway project on December, 2003, Nitish Kumar, then the Union railway minister, reportedly said, “I hope Narendra Modi won’t be confined to Gujarat for long and the nation will get his services.” “I want to congratulate Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. Lots of work has been done in Gujarat, but a different image about the state and about Narendra bhai has been created outside the state. The work in the state isn’t publicised the way it should be,” Kumar reportedly went on. “What happened (in 2002) was a blot. But it’s not good if we remember just that and forget other things that are happening.” Kumar then praised Modi for the development work being undertaken in Gujarat. “I congratulate Narendra Bhai. Gujarat’s development is helpful for India and if Gujarat develops the nation will also develop,”

Let the man's own words be echoed everywhere until they reverberate in his face.
