Narendra Modi takes on Aam Aadmi Party in Goa (in pics)

Panaji, Jan 13: In a subtle reference and hit out at the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Sunday said that he believes in 'decentralisation of power'.

In an apparent reference to the media blitzkrieg around AAP, Modi supported decentralisation of power, while toeing his "vote for the country, not for the party" line during his rally in Goa.

"We believe in decentralisation of power. We believe in giving power to the people," Modi told a rally of one lakh odd people near Panaji. "Vote for India. Don't vote for any particular group or a party or any individual," he said, making a pitch that voting for the BJP means voting for India's brighter future.

Modi also tried to refute AAP leaders' simple lifestyles claiming that despite being in public life for several years and ruling the country, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has no house of his own to stay.
