While the Prime Minister praised Gautam Adani in his speech, he joked that this event with Shashi Tharoor, Kerala CM Vijayan and himself on the same stage will give "sleepless nights" to many. However, the person translating his speech did not translate it properly, and it prompted the PM to say, “the message has gone across to whom it was meant.”
PM Modi referred to Kerala CM Vijayan as a “pillar” of the Opposition INDIA bloc. "Today, Shashi Tharoor is sitting here. Today's program will disturb the sleep of some people. The message has gone wherever it had to go." he said from the dais.

In Gujarat, he has been working on ports for 30 years. But never has he built a port like this. So he should be ready to face the anger of the people of Gujarat," Prime Minister Modi joked, prompting laughter from the audience.
