Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday invoked Mahatma Gandhi and said the best way to define good governance was with Gandhiji's talisman. “Do the policies help the poorest and weakest man? If yes, that is good governance”.
He was addressing the Bharatiya Janata Party's inaugural session of the National Convention on Good Governance (Suraj Sankalp) here.
“We need action-based approach like that of Lal Bahadur Shastri or Sardar Patel. Mere talking and symbolic gestures serve no purpose. Has celebrating Children's Day improved the condition of children in this country?”
A copy of his speech was given to the media, as he did not address the convention in front of the press.
