Sounding the poll bugle for Gujarat Assembly election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today dared the Congress to contest it on the development plank.
Mounting a fierce attack on the Congress, Modi told a BJP rally that the Nehru-Gandhi family dislikes Gujarat and Gujaratis.
He said the opposition party's current condition was because it has lost ability to think positive. "It is being driven by negative thinking," he said.
The prime minister was addressing a massive rally organised by the state BJP to celebrate the conclusion of the saffron party's 'Gujarat Gaurav Yatra' (march for Gujarat's honour).
Other highlights of his speech:
* Says Gujarat election is a fight between 'vikasvaad' and "vanshvaad"; development politics will triumph over family rule.
* Says Nehru-Gandhi family dislikes Gujarat and Gujaratis
*_ Tells BJP rally Congress' current condition is because of its lost capacity for positive thinking
