BJP has no manifesto, PM mum about Gujarat’s future: Rahul

PTI, JETPUR: Alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is silent about the future of Gujarat, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today hit out at the ruling BJP for not publishing its manifesto for the elections yet. At a poll rally at this tribal town in Chhota Udepur district, he said his party came out with a manifesto after consulting various sections of society, such as tribal communities, women and youth, and incorporating their demands. 

"The campaign in half of Gujarat has already ended. Polling will be held shortly. But the BJP has not announced its manifesto yet. The BJP has not told you what it will do for you in the next five years," Gandhi said. "Modi-ji used to say that the BJP will rule in Gujarat for the next hundred years. But he is not saying a single word about the future of Gujarat at his rallies. "Instead, Modi-ji talks about Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and so many global issues. This election is not about Modi or (Rahul) Gandhi...it's about THE people of Gujarat," he said.
