Modi in Gandhinagar LIVE: Congress party hates Gujarat, Gujaratis, says PM

<div>
	
	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. Prime Minister Narendra Modi says Congress is driven by negative thinking. While addressing BJP workers and supporters at a massive rally in Gandhinagar, he said the opposition party&#39;s current condition was because it has lost ability to think positive. &quot;It is being driven by negative thinking,&quot; he said.</div>
<br />
<div>
	The prime minister was addressing a rally organised by the state BJP to celebrate the conclusion of the saffron party&#39;s &#39;Gujarat Gaurav Yatra&#39; (march for Gujarat&#39;s honour).<br />
	<br />
	Modi said Gujarat election was a fight between &quot;vikasvaad&quot; and &quot;vanshvaad&quot;. Development politics will triumph over family rule.</div>
<br />
<div>
	This is likely to be his last speech at a big public rally before the Election Commission&rsquo;s model code of conduct kicks in for Gujarat assembly poll.</div>
<br />
<div>
	The function marked the conclusion of 15-day long Gujarat Gaurav Yatra. The BJP started the yatra from two routes - one from Karamsad on the first of this month and another from Porbandar on October 2.</div>
<br />
<div>
	While it isn&rsquo;t known if the PM might make more announcements, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala had complained on Thursday that the Election Commission postponed announcing the Gujarat poll dates to enable Modi to announce more sops at the Monday rally.</div>
