AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal today attacked Narendra Modi over his Gujarat development story and claimed there is no 'wave' in favour of the BJP's prime ministerial candidate anywhere in the country.
"Since last year I have been hearing that there is a Modi wave in the country. I went to Haryana, I could not see any Modi wave there. I went to UP. There also I could not see any. Today, I have come to Mumbai. Here too I cannot see a Modi wave," Kejriwal said.
He was addressing a public meeting in suburban Vikhroli.
"Yes, however there is a wave. But the wave is of anger among people. We don't want to bring in the BJP by ousting the Congress. People want to change the system. People have decided to bring honest politics in the country. People see a ray of hope in AAP," the former Delhi Chief Minister said.
Kejriwal criticised a section of the media for opinion polls forecasting AAP's dismal performance in Lok Sabha elections.
"There were these channels which said that AAP will get 4-5 seats, but we got 28 seats in the Delhi Assembly. There will be a miracle in Parliament this time. People have made up their mind to defeat Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi, Kapil Sibal, Nitin Gadkari and B S Yedyurappa," he said.
The AAP chief, who got back from his tour of Gujarat to verify Narendra Modi's development claims, said as many as 800 farmers have allegedly committed suicide in that state during Modi's rule.
