While inaugurating the Property Show at GMDC Ground, Ahmedabad, to be held from January 9 to 11, 2026, Chief Minister said that the day is historic for both the state and the nation. He noted that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Somnath Swabhiman Parv has begun, symbolising India’s enduring faith, culture, and pride. He said that the Somnath Temple is not just a religious site but a symbol of India’s self-confidence and self-respect. Despite repeated attempts in history to weaken the nation’s culture, India has always risen stronger and made its mark globally. He added that India’s proud progress on the world stage today is due to the Prime Minister’s strong and visionary leadership. He further said that the Prime Minister emphasized protecting heritage alongside development. While temples are centers of faith and devotion, the true strength of our culture lies in maintaining continuity, integrity, and resolve in all areas of life. Individuals and institutions that uphold these values overcome challenges and continue to progress.

The Chief Minister said that after taking charge of service responsibility, the Prime Minister approved the scheme for permanent housing for the poor and common people in the very first cabinet meeting, which is an excellent example of his sensitive and people-centric leadership. Today, housing equipped with all modern facilities has made the life of the common citizen comfortable and prosperous.

Regarding Ahmedabad’s development, the Chief Minister said the city will see rapid growth in the coming decade. Progress in the property, infrastructure, and industrial sectors will further strengthen the state’s economy. He added that the government is proud of the fast-paced development of Ahmedabad and Gujarat.

On the issue of environmental protection, the Chief Minister said that to address challenges like global warming, steps such as rainwater harvesting, groundwater conservation, and energy conservation need to be implemented from today itself. Development along with environmental protection is the path towards Viksit Bharat.

Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister, Viksit Gujarat plays a key role in achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat, and the state government is working with full commitment towards this goal.
