for
five
minutes
on
hearing
the
sound

azan.
"I
do
not

So
I
decided
to
take
a
brief
rest," he
had
said
after
it
ended.
Modi addressed three rallies in Gujarat as part of the BJP's final campaign push. During the rallies, he targeted Rahul Gandhi and his speeches. They hate development, they hate Gujarat he said. They hate sweat because they have never had to sweat he also said at one of the rallies.
