Speaking virtually, Shah also said the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will once again form a government in Gujarat, his home state, with a two-thirds majority and hailed the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.

"People who sell dreams will never get electoral success in Gujarat. I know the people of Gujarat. Those in the business of selling dreams can never get success in Gujarat because the people support only those who believe in doing work. That is why people remain by the BJP's side. The BJP is on its way to achieving a thumping victory," Shah said while addressing a function held in Gandhinagar to mark one year of Bhupendra Patel's chief ministership.

"I want to tell Bhupendrabhai that the people of Gujarat are with the BJP. I can see very clearly that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and you, the BJP will once again form a government with a two-thirds majority in the upcoming elections," Shah said.

Responding to Shah's comment, Kejriwal said, "Yes, he is absolutely right. Do not believe those who sell you dream. Do not trust the people who say they'll give you Rs 15 lakh each by bringing back black money. Trust those who say that they have made electricity free in Delhi and Punjab, and will do it in Gujarat too."

In the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won a total of 99 out of 182 seats while the Congress emerged a close second by bagging 77 seats.
