Addressing the inauguration function, PM Modi said he has been connected to the Dawoodi Bohra Community for four generations.

"Coming to you all feels like coming to a family. I saw your video today. I have a complaint. You repeatedly said prime minister or chief minister. I am your family member, am neither a prime minister here nor a chief minister. I consider myself fortunate that I have something that few have. I have been connected to this family for 4 generations. All 4 generations have visited my home," PM Modi said. PM Narendra Modi Hits Back at Opposition, Says ‘I Wear 140 Crore Indians’ Trust As Protective Shield, Lies Can’t Breach It’.
