Explaining the need for all-around development of Goa, the PM said that if one region of Goa develops, the others would benefit too. He said, "BJP talks about the all-round development for all, equal development for all. Because development cannot be divided into pieces, caste, religion and area. If North Goa develops, South Goa will also move forward."

Flaking the Congress, he said that Goa has a unique culture and identity and the state takes everyone along "but those who were not concerned about its culture had been indulging in corruption".
