Gujarat has made rapid strides in industry, energy, port development, urban development, agriculture; and other infrastructure during Modi’s thirteen years stewardship of the state as Chief Minister. It is today surplus in power generation and has gas and water grids crisscrossing the entire state. This growth story is being continued and carried forward by CM Patel. The Vibrant Gujarat initiative is today emulated by many other states of the country.
