"The UPA government has given sufficient funds for several schemes on agriculture, development, water harvesting and land improvement projects to the state," Gandhi told a poll rally in this town of Patan district in north Gujarat.
"According to news reports, 'hera-pheri' (wrong-doing) is going on (in Gujarat). We have known about CAG reports (talking about corruption). There is large-scale corruption in Gujarat," Gandhi said, days ahead of the first phase of assembly polls.
Later, speaking at Dakor in Kheda district, she said "it has become a policy of Gujarat government to shield the accused and frame innocent people."
"Sixteen per cent of the funds we have released under JNNURM for Gujarat had been spent in only one constituency of Gujarat. I don't need to name this assembly constituency, as you all know very well...You tell me isn't that gross injustice to other parts of the state?" she said.
Gandhi was apparently referring to Maninagar assembly constituency in Ahmedabad city from where Modi is contesting the elections.
During the poll campaign earlier, the Congress chief had slammed the tall development claims of the state government, saying it is nowhere to be seen as promises made by the government were "hollow and false".
She also accused the Modi government of adopting "anti-people" policies.
"The UPA government had waived loans of farmers, besides giving them other facilities. Then, why farmers in Gujarat are still under debt...The answer to this question is explicit...The policies of Gujarat government are 'jan virodhi' (anti-people)," Gandhi said.
Polling in Gujarat will be held in two phases on December 13 and 17. (More)
