Sharpening his attack on Narendra Modi, Congress Vice President, Rahul Gandhi today said the BJP leader would have “ousted” even Atal Bihari Vajpayee like party veterans Jaswant Singh and L K Advani had the former Prime Minister continued being in public life.

Addressing a public meeting at Karauli, Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi said Modi boasts of development in Gujarat but it was not a single man who changed Gujarat. It was the hard work of labourers and farmers who made Gujarat, he added.

Questioning Modi's claims on development of Gujarat,Gandhi again raised the issue of allotment of farmers' land to industrialists. He alleged that “45,000 acre land, an area equal to Bikaner, was doled out to a businessman in Gujarat for Rs 300 crore.

Gandhi said that the UPA government empowered the common man and the poor in the last ten years by way of various rights including MGNREGA, RTI and Right to Food, and lashed out at the Gujarat Chief Minister for not ensuring that people gets advantages of RTI.

“There is no Lokayukta and RTI commissioner in Gujarat because the day when they start working, the balloon of Gujarat model would collapse on ground,” Gandhi said.

Gandhi, who was addressing the meeting in a stadium said that Congress has worked for poor, dalit, farmers and underprivileged whereas the opposition BJP wants to run government for 5-6 selected businessmen.

The Congress Vice President said that his party leaders use decent language in their address unlike the rival candidates.
