Saluting Freedom & Truth

Friends, 

On the occasion of the 64th

anniversary of India’s 
Independence I extend 
my heartiest greetings! 

I also salute all our freedom fighters. 

Last week Mother Nature bestowed her bounty and the thirsty land of Gujarat was satiated. 

Thanks to the kindness of Meghraj there is joy all around. With the coming rains there is an
explosion of joy & happiness all around heralding the festival season.  In days to come there is going
to be an array of continuous festivals.

Mahatma Gandhiji and Sardar Saheb’s birthdays are also falling in the month of October. 

The good news for Gujarat is that in the year of its Swarnim Jayanti the 64 thIndependence Day is
being celebrated as grand ‘festival of development’. 

Entire Rajkot district is welcoming the state-level celebration of the Independence Day. 

Truth always triumphs — Satyameva Jayate is our age-old mantra. 

Satyam Shivam Sundaram is our cultural heritage. 

Our ancient sages have said through couplets that Saachu Sorathio Bhane" (when a Sorathio
(Saurashtrian) speaks he will speak the truth). 

Indeed truth is ingrained in our culture. 

Swami Dayanandji Saraswati picked up the gauntlet to extricate the Hindu Samaj from superstitious
beliefs. 

The book he wrote was named ‘Satyarth Prakash’. 

Mahatma Gandhi’s story of his life came to be known as “EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH" and it lit up
the freedom struggle with Satyagraha. 

Social reformist and journalist Karsandas Mulji’s newspaper too was titled “Satya-Prakash”. 

Gujarat has accepted the path of truth as its weapon to fight all forms of injustice, neglect and
against those who try to defame us 

"Saanch ne ave na Aanch" (There is no ignominy in speaking the truth) 

"Satya Chhapre Chadi ne Pokarshe" (Truth will out) 

"Satya No Jay" (Truth triumphs) 

This only is our faith. 

Friends, India Today and ORG-Marg recently conducted an opinion poll countrywide. 

And once again the people of our country and my dear people of Gujarat have voted me as Best
CM in the country. 

From all of you there has been a downpour of greetings.   

To all those countrymen who have given their best opinion I am truly indebted to them. 

They remained unperturbed even when a certain section launched an incessant slander and
malicious campaign and false allegations against me.   

Howsoever big is my effort in conveying the gratitude I think it will be too little a gesture. 

I am indebted to all of you.   

As per your wishes and desire I have served Mother India and will continue to do so in the future. 

Come, let us live for the sake of our country and do something for our nation — Vande Mataram.
