Gandhinagar: Rahul Gandhi on Monday said that no one can stop the Congress from winning in Gujarat.
"Congress is going to win in Gujarat. No one can stop that from happening. People of Gujarat have made up their mind," he said, as per ANI.
At the same time, Rahul said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had no plans for the development of Gujarat.
"They (BJP) say the Congress has disappeared from Gujarat, but why 50 percent of the PM's speeches are on the party and rest on himself? He has no plan for the people of Gujarat," he said.
Earlier on Monday, Rahul took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for talking about Pakistan, China, Afghanistan and Japan in the Gujarat elections but avoiding speaking about his home state.
He also said that the PM was frequently shifting his campaign plank in Gujarat.
Gandhi said, first it was the Narmada water, but after farmers started saying it has not reached their fields, PM Modi changed tack and began speaking about OBC issues.
When that also did not find favour with people, he went for development issues "but people punctured it", he said.
"Now, Modi ji speaks about Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Japan. Modi ji, this is the election about the future of Gujarat. Please say something about Gujarat also," he told a rally in Tharad in Banaskantha district, PTI reported.
Gandhi was apparently targeting the PM over his yesterday's suggestion that Pakistan was trying to influence the Gujarat Assembly polls and that some current and former officials of that country had met Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's residence a day before 'neech' remark against him.
The Congress leader said, in his speeches in the last couple of days, the PM devoted half the time to Congress-bashing.
"On one hand he is claiming that he has finished the Congress party from India, and on the other, he devotes half of his time to Congress. The other half of his speech is devoted to Narendra Modi ji himself," the 47-year-old leader said.
"Modi ji please devote two-three minutes of your speech to (talking about) the future of Gujarat," Rahul said.
The second and final phase for remaining 93 seats will be held on December 14. Vote counting will be held on December 18.
