Amid the encomiums showered on Chief Minister Narendra Modi at the inauguration of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit here, this was the most extravagant.

The head of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, Anil Ambani, on Friday called Modi a “leader among leaders”, “the king among kings”, putting him in the same league as Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel.

“Narendrabhai has Arjuna-like clarity of vision. Narendrabhai literally is the lord of men, a leader among leaders and the king among kings,” said Anil Ambani, who sat beside Modi on the dais.

“Let me attempt to paint another picture: October 2, 1869, Porbandar, Gujarat — the birth of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the father of the nation; October 31, 1875, Nariyal, Gujarat — the birth of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s man of steel; December 28, 1932, Chorwad, Gujarat — the birth of Dhirubhai Ambani, India’s greatest entrepreneur; and September 17, 1950, Vadnagar, Gujarat — the birth of Narendra Modi,” he said.

Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, who flanked Modi on the other side, described the CM as “a leader with a grand vision”.

Other members of India Inc as well as representatives the US, UK, Japan, Canada, China, Denmark and Taiwan also hailed Modi, while congratulating him for his election win. The sixth biennial Vibrant Gujarat summit has been partnered by Canada and Japan.

Support for Modi is like a process of Nature, virtually unstoppable. The flowers come first, then they produce fruit, which carry the seeds for future reproduction. The fruit bearing trees withstand storms, rains, frost, besides resisting dangerous pests before they can produce the fruit. Modi has emerged much stronger after going through such adverse cycles. The inevitable can be delayed but not stopped. THAT IS THE WRITING ON THE WALL FOR THE CONGRESS AND its keepsakes in the media and elsewhere and all the bleeding hearts whose sympathies lies with a murderous, barbaric Pakistan. The Second Coming written by William Butler Yeats after World War I, aptly describes the condition of the Congress today. Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

Modi as well as Gujarat does not need certificate from Media-Houses like NDTV,IE.India-INC approval is sufficient.It is natural that praise of Modi would not be liked by some people.But they should remember that MODI is unstoppable however Congress-purchased Media-Houses may not like.They must remember if Modi does not go to center,even then he will get fourth term in Gujarat and COMMUNAL Congress has to be in opposition,whatever communal attempts be made by Congress and its mouth-pieces in Media.Lastly IE and especially SG should know the out come of their pet's Pravasi Bharatiya Divas that delegates criticized it as a lunch party only as it does not help NRIs' and PIOs' grievances since years together.This is your MMS/Sonias' Congress's achievement.GOOD LUCK TO HAVE SAME FUTURE TO ALL OF YOU FELLOW-TRAVELERS.
