Ahmedabad : Gujarat’s business community Sunday congratulated Chief Minister Narendra Modi for winning the assembly elections, calling it as a vote for development.
“Modi’s victory is a vote for development by the 55 million Gujaratis who are satisfied with his concept of development,” said Parul Jayakrishna, president of the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“It is also a vote for ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ (a series of investor meets organised by Modi) and sets the pace for moving forward towards a ‘Golden Gujarat’,” she said.
“We hope that all his plans for industrial growth will be on the fast track and result in inclusive development.”
Sunil Parekh, a consultant formerly with the Gujarat chapter of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) said: “It is a vote for development. The government would look into areas like education that needs to be improved to become globally competitive.
