BJP will win Gujarat with thumping majority:Arun Jaitley(Video)

Ahmedabad, 14 December 2012

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley on Friday claimed that BJP will come back to power in Gujarat with a thumping majority. He was referring to the high percentage of polling in first phase of Gujarat polls.

He said Congress conducted its campaign in Gujarat election merely as a formality.

“They first campaigned through brand ambassador and in the last few days some of their leaders came to campaign. The Congress has no direction, leadership or agenda. Its leaders are merely completing a formality in compulsion by coming for campaigning in the State,” he said.

“One of their leaders during the campaigning said that BJP had opposed the Jan Lokpal Bill. They should know the difference between the Jan Lokpal Bill and Lokpal Bill,” Jaitely said.

He was referring to a statement by Rahul Gandhi during his poll rally.

Referring to Sonia Gandhi’s charge that Modi was inciting people by raising the Sir Creek issue, Jaitley said, “Modi is not inciting people on Sir Creek but he has right to ask a question to the Prime Minister as a common person”.
