Ahmedabad, 4 December 2012

In his 3D speech on Tuesday evening, Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi asked political pundits to look into the Gujarat Congress election campaign with a particular angle.

Modi said, in last 60 years history, the Congress party has always campaigned with the photographs of the Nehru/Gandhi dynasty.

“But in Gujarat election campaign, Congress has not used the photographs of Nehru, Indira, Rajiv, Sonia, Rahul in any of the advertisements. Why they had to withdraw their leaders from their advertisements? Do they accept the fact that these faces are not able to garner votes in Gujarat?” Modi asked.

“One of the Congress leaders from whom they have big expectations had camped in Uttar Pradesh for 12 months and people kicked that party out of the state. This ‘precious’ leader of the Congress has not dared to campaign here for assembly elections,” Modi said.

“The leader knows the temperament of Gujarati people. He has realised that they won’t be able to impress the people of Gujarat. Hence, he decided to pay merely token visits here. He doesn’t want to take the responsibility of his party’s defeat here,” the Chief Minister said.

Modi asked people to not only defeat Congress party, but punish it for its deeds.

Modi said, “Congress has not only failed in ruling the state, but it has also failed as an opposition party. Congress leaders in Gujarat is a community of people who live on statements. Have you ever heard any constructive suggestion coming from Congress people?”
