Speaking at the valedictory session of the Fourth Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit, Ambani said, "Narendrabhai has done good for Gujarat and what will happen if he leads the nation."

"Gujarat has seen progress in all the fields under his leadership. Now, imagine what will happen to the nation if he leads the nation," he said and added, "Person like him should be the next leader of the country."

Recalling his father, the late Dhirubhai, Anil said that Dhirubhai used to say "Modi lambi race ka ghoda hai (Modi will go a long way)."
