Modi criss-crosses Guj in poll push
AHMEDABAD: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed four rallies in Gujarat’s Saurashtra region on Sunday, the second day of his campaign blitz ahead of the elections to the 182-member assembly in December.
While the PM urged people to turn up in huge numbers to take “part in the festival of democracy”, a common theme through his addresses was the development of the state in 27 years of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s rule.
Modi, who was the state’s longest serving chief minister between 2001 and 2014, also hit out at the Congress, a party, he alleged, that was “working towards destroying Gujarat”.
The Prime Minister began his day by offering prayers at the Somnath temple, in the Gir Somnath district.
