Self-proclaimed intellectuals of Gujarat have been defeated today as results are out. They include resident editor of self-proclaimed number one gujarati daily, who switches sides whenever required for his own survival, or the people who are interviewed by news channels like NDTV or CNN-IBN as authentic social researchers or academicians. The fact is that these people have no connection with the common people of Gujarat. They are only interested in maintaining their luxurious life styles at the cost of their own self-esteem, always ready to please their own bosses. Modi has emerged as a leader of Gujaratis who has shifted the focus of entire India on Gujarat - a state neglected for a long time and insulted as land of dhokla eating gujjus. Gujarat will become catalyst in developing India as it has always done in the past. And I request all to remember that Gujarat is for every one - the Hindu, the Muslim and all other religious minorities. Nobody is threatened here. Patels are smart enough. Nobody can victimize them to win elections. That's why they have voted for BJP. - from Surta Mehta, Ahmedabad
