World is at the Gujarat doorstep

Dogs bark but elephant keeps on moving. In spite of animosity and obstruction 
put up by Congress government and pseudo-secular unpatriotic forces, Gujarat is 
marching ahead. Gujarat is shining brighter and brighter every day under the 
noble leadership of Narendra Modi. Corrupt and incompetent Congress may envy and 
despise the great Chief Minister of Gujarat, but Modi is unstoppable.

AHMEDABAD: The first Vibrant Gujarat summit held in 2003 was mocked at by 
cynics, even as reluctant businessmen made investment promises worth over Rs 
60,000 crore. By 2009, with investment promises worth $ 240 billion, the summit 
had established itself as one of the top business meets in the world. 

Actual investment which came in during the meltdown in the last two years may 
have been just a trickle. But the fifth edition of the two-day biennial summit 
starting on Wednesday at the newly-built Rs 100-crore Mahatma Mandir in 
Gandhinagar promises to surpass previous milestones - not just in terms of MoUs 
but also in scale. 

Besides two partner countries - Japan and Canada - representation from about 70 
nations and 19 states will add value to the event, which is dubbed by chief 
minister Narendra Modi 'Davos In Action'. It is here over the next two days that 
deals worth billions will be frozen. 

Rwandan Prime Minister Bernard Makuza, a Canadian minister accompanied by 
half-a-dozen MPs' team, a 100-strong business delegation from Japan and another 
70-strong business delegation from Canada will crowd the opening event. 

Among leading Indian businessmen, Ratan Tata, Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Anand 
Mahindra and Adi Godrej - to name just a few - will attend the event along with 
other top honchos of multinationals from Australia, US, UK, China, Brazil, and 
several countries from the Africa, Middle-East and Far-East. Bollywood star 
Amitabh Bachchan, who is the brand ambassador of Gujarat's tourism, will add a 
dash of glamour to the summit.
