Drawing a comparison between the present-day government in the country and the British government, he said: “Pahle East India Company Aaya tab British Sakar. Abhi Modi Sarkar Aaya, Tab West India Company.”
He clarified the meaning of West India Company saying they are two industrialists of Gujarat which is located in the Western part of India. He named Adani and Ambani saying that they focussed on agricultural land and market of the country gradually established their dominance with the help of the BJP government.
