Dharampur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, addressing a campaign rally in Valsad district of Gujarat, accused the Congress of defaming the BJP by propagating it is against Muslims.
"Disinformation like BJP does this and that against Muslims has been spread. This family party made it their main agenda to spread disinformation about BJP. But Gujarat people are not so naive, they have now become sensitive and aware to disinformation," he said.
PM Modi added to the accusation, alleging that the Congress has been indulging in divisive politics in a bid to win the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
"Earlier, Congress would go out of the way to show their secularism but now we are all seeing what they are doing in this election, where they are going. Unfortunately for them, Muslims know their real nature," he said, adding that Congress has always defamed Gujarat, and hat it can neither tolerate nor accept leaders from the state.
On the other hand, PM Modi also slammed Rahul Gandhi's expected elevation as Congress president, dubbing it as "Aurangzebi raj".
Without referring to the National Herald case, in which Rahul Gandhi had got bail, he said, "Congress has gone bankrupt, as it is going to make a person who is out on bail in corruption case its president."
Taking potshots at the opposition party, PM Modi said, "Mani Shanker Aiyar who was a minister in Congress government said 'did elections happen during Mughal rule? After Jahangir, Shahjahan came, was any election held? After Shahjahan it was understood that Aurangzeb would be the leader'. Does the Congress accept that it is a family party? We don't want this Aurangzeb rule."
Rahul on Monday filed his nomination papers for the party's chief post.
