TAKE A CART, PM TELLS CONGRESS

Resuming his campaign trail in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the Congress of seeking to divide the people on caste and religious lines. Apparently referring to the ongoing religionrelated overtones in the campaign, Mr Modi asserted that his gods were the 125 crore people of India and that he was serving them.

Mr Modi also referred to the coming elections in the Congress for its next president to hit at its absence of internal democracy.

He said: “If one doesn’t have democracy in his home (party), how can the person practise it in the country?” and added that the outcome of the elections for the top post in the Congress was a foregone conclusion.

He lashed out at the Congress over its criticism of the government’s ambitious bullet train project, saying if the Opposition party had a problem with it, it could roam around on bullock carts.

“The people of Gujarat know what the Congress is up to. It changes colour time and again, creates a wall between brothers, it wants to make urban areas fight with rural areas of the country, the illiterate fight with literates and the poor fight with the rich,” he said.

The PM addressed rallies at Bharuch, Surendranagar and Rajkot and later attended the inaguration ceremony of the Shri Jogiswami SGVP
