Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asserted that the social fabric of Gujarat cannot be vitiated on caste or sectoral lines for electoral benefit, saying Indian voters can rise above all negative influences like casteism and illicit money power. <br/><br/>Addressing BJP's Mahila Morcha workers of Gujarat BJP through Namo App today, Mr Modi said, Uttar Pradesh Assembly results, followed by the civic body results have proven beyond doubt that the electorate has rejected the negativity created over bold structural reforms such as demonetization and GST. <br/><br/>He said, similar winds of a rejection of negativity are also blowing over Gujarat. Mr Modi said, Indian voter is very mature and people have immense faith in democracy. He said, the election results in the civic body elections in UP today, where the BJP has done exceedingly well have brought about a wave of positivity and excitement across the country. <br/><br/>The Prime Minister said the victory is all the more remarkable, because of the negative impression and the atmosphere of pessimism created by certain elements. He added that recent favourable assessments by rating agencies and the GDP numbers that were announced yesterday, bring good tidings on the economic front.<br/><br/>During the interaction, Mr Modi also took questions from women workers on issues ranging from promising handicrafts in Kutch to increasing women voting percentage. He lauded the women karyakartas for their hard-work and commitment.
