Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday there had been conspiracies to defame Gujarat and stop investments in his home State when he was the Chief Minister from 2001 to 2014.
However, Gujarat not only ignored the efforts to malign the State but continued to chart a new path of development and progress, which led to all round development across its regions, Mr. Modi said while addressing a public rally after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of development works in Kutch district.
