Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal today said Modi is gradually turning out to be the "PM of Gujarat" and wants to convert Mumbai into Ahmedabad.
"Modi is gradually emerging as the Prime Minister of Gujarat and wants to convert Mumbai into Ahmedabad. On what grounds is Modi claiming that Gujarat is ahead of Maharashtra?" Bhujbal said here during an election rally of NCP candidate Sandeep Bajoria.
At a public rally in Gondia yesterday, Modi had said like Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, where voters had given the BJP a full majority, Maharashtra could be the number one state in the country.
Responding to it, the NCP leader asked, "What does Modi want to convey by assuring development of Maharashtra in general and Mumbai in particular? Maharashtra is already number one state and hence there is no question of developing Mumbai on the lines of Ahmedabad."
He accused Modi of creating a media hype and using every opportunity for his personal gains.
