Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Sunday sought to puncture the development card of his Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi, saying it was "not fair for one person" to take credit for the work of the entire Gujarati people. "The credit for the development of Gujarat goes to the industrious nature of the Gujarati people, who have also contributed substantially to development all around, including in Maharashtra, as also in London and the United States. One man taking credit for the work of the Gujarati people is not fair," Chavan told reporters.
Modi, who is the BJP's face in the next Lok Sabha polls, has often organised "Vibrant Gujarat" conventions to showcase the progress and attract investment in the state.
Chavan, who is a senior Congress leader, also wanted Modi to articulate his views on how to deal with Pakistan as also how to address the problems confronting the economy at a time when it was facing a crisis due to the slowdown. "Modi should articulate his Pakistan policy, his economic policy and his akhand bharat policy," Chavan said suggesting that the Gujarat Chief Minister only excels in the art of criticising his detractors and does not reveal his policy on key issues facing the nation.
