Taking Narendra Modi head on, Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s prime ministerial candidate had not understood the strength of India and its people and accused his party of following a politics that was "full of anger".

Also attacking him on snoopgate issue, Gandhi advised Modi to change slogans on his posters where it was promised that he would give power to women, as "he was the person sending police after women and tapping their phone in Gujarat."

Addressing a public rally here after holding a massive roadshow in Varanasi constituency earlier on Saturday, the Congress vice-president took pot-shots at Modi for his alleged links to Gujarat-based industrial house Adanis.
 
"We (Congress) want to fulfil your dream. He (Modi) shows dream to Adani," Gandhi said, but clarified that Congress was not against industrialists.

"If the country has to move forward, then there has to be partnership between industrialists and labourers. Everybody will be part of the development, labourers, farmers and workers," he said.
