Addressing a public meeting in Gujarat's Rajkot where he inaugurated an international airport, PM Modi said, "Now when the nation is moving forward, some people are not liking it...they are pissed with the fact that dreams of people are getting accomplished, that's why these corruptors and dynasts have changed the name of their group." 

"Faces, sins, habits, all are the same but the group's name has been changed," he added.

During his address, PM Modi remembered families of those who lost their lives during cyclone Biparjoy and the floods in the state.

"My thoughts are with those families who had to suffer losses due to natural disasters like cyclone and flood...state govt and people together faced this challenges...state govt is doing everything possible to bring back normalcy and the centre is providing all the help required to the state government," he said.

“We came to power with the guarantee of good governance and in the last nine years we have delivered it,” he added.
