The air was filled with slogans and chants of “Vande Mataram, “Har Har Modi – Ghar Ghar Modi”, “Baar Baar Modi Sarkar” and”Sab Ka Saath, Sab Ka Vikas”. People also carried signs with slogans “Rise Of India With NaMo”, “MODIfied India”, “Congrats BJP” and “MODI and Idea of India” in support of Modi.

Chandru Bhambhra, former president, Overseas Friends of BJP, said “In my 64 years, I have never seen a visionary person like Shri Modi.
His vision and his power to execute ideas are amazing. He has developed Gujarat in past 12 years and taken it to enviable heights and people have confidence and faith in him that he will now develop India with the same zeal and take it to a very respectable level.”
Gaurang Desai, Northern California coordinator of FISI who recently visited Gujarat said, “I have witnessed the development and forward thinking ideas like daily garbage collection by truck. If Modi can accomplish even 1/10th of what he has promised, he would have achieved more than what Congress has in 60 years.”
Khanderao Kand, founder-president, Global Indian Technology Professionals of India, says, “We technological professionals are very happy that a development-oriented leader like Modi got such a decisive mandate. He eradicated corrupt, dynastic, caste and appeasement-driven politics that was ruining India.”
Suresh Patel, a founding member of Gujarat Samaj, who has been responsible for Gujarat Day celebrations in Bay Area said, “This was a clean sweep. This is a tremendous victory for development of India. Such a mandate can only mean that people of India raised themselves against caste, religion and regionalism and voted for development.”
Yagnesh Pathak, a member of Sewa International said “He delivers whatever he promises.”
