AHMEDABAD – With only two days to go before the end of the first phase of Gujarat assembly election campaigning, the BJP, Congress and AAP have dropped their national leadership. In Surat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the growth of terrorism and corruption during the Congress. As the Gujarat campaign enters its final hours, the leaders are attacking each other.
Party president Mallikarjun Kharge replied that democracy existed because the Congress was active for 70 years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the ‘Sardar of Lies’. Kharge also said that he was untouchable as a Dalit and the poorest of the poor. There are people to drink tea sold by Modi. Kharge said at a Congress meeting near Vadodara that there were people who would not even drink the water I touched. People should understand that Modi, who constantly talks about poverty to get people’s sympathy, is not stupid. Kharge addressed the Janasabha at Didiyapada with a befitting reply to Modi. Congress is a party that protects democracy. Modi is giving only empty promises. Kharge also said that he bows down to Ambedkar and praises Gandhiji for votes.
Modi addresses the rallies by asserting the continuity of the administration. The prime minister claimed that the terrorism and corruption that grew during the Congress era was eradicated after the BJP came to power.
Addressing a rally in Surat, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that people will accept AAP in Gujarat after Delhi and Punjab.
