Speaking at an event in the city, the Amritsar MP claimed that in the time Congress had been at the helm at the Centre, the country had seen little progress.
"The public should itself assess what the country gained during the time Congress was in power.
"Progress will be possible in India only after BJP forms the government at the Centre and Modi becomes the prime minister," the former India cricketer said.
"Modi will ensure all-round development across the length and breadth of the country as he did in Gujarat," he said.
