No one can stop Congress from winning in Gujarat: Rahul Gandhi

Leading the party campaign in Gujarat, Congress president-elect Rahul Gandhi exuded confidence that the party will win in the state.

"Congress party is going to win elections in Gujarat and no one can stop it. There is a wave (Aandhi aa rahi hai)," Rahul said while addressing a rally in Gandhinagar.

Rahul Gandhi on Monday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for talking about Pakistan, China, Afghanistan and Japan in the Gujarat elections but avoiding speaking about his home state.

He also questioned Modi's 'silence' on the company promoted by BJP president Amit Shah's son Jay Shah whose turnover was claimed to have shot up manifold after the BJP came to power at the Centre. Gandhi, who was declared elected as Congress president today, said Modi was frequently shifting his campaign plank in Gujarat.

He said, first it was the Narmada water, but after farmers started saying it has not reached their fields, Modi changed tack and began speaking about OBC issues. When that also did not find favour with people, he went for development issues "but people punctured it", he said.

"Now, Modiji speaks about Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Japan. Modiji, this is the election about the future of Gujarat. Please say something about Gujarat also," he told a well-attended rally in Tharad in Banaskantha district.

"Modiji used to speak a lot about corruption. He doesn't do that anymore, says Rahul Gandhi in Gandhinagar," he added.

Polling for 89 assembly constituencies in the phase one was held on December 9. The second phase voting will be held on December 14.
