Does Congress have problem in accepting that Modi made Gujarat famous, Rajnath asks

MAHUDHA: Applauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his efforts towards developing Gujarat, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said that he is the face of the state in independent India.

"Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel brought glory to name of Gujarat. In independent India, if there is a person who made Gujarat famous in each corner of world, it's Narendra Modi. Want to ask my friends of Congress, do they have problem in accepting it," Rajnath Singh said while addressing a rally in Mahudha in Gujarat.

Rajnath's reaction comes on a day when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) registered a huge victory in Uttar Pradesh civic polls. The BJP has given the credit of the victory to PM Modi ahead of Gujarat elections in the state.

Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi after Congress lost in Amethi, Adityanath said the party which was daydreaming of winning the Gujarat Assembly polls has failed to even open an account in the UP municipal corporation polls.

In his first comments as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) surged ahead to a decisive victory in the civic polls, Adityanath said the results in favour of the BJP in the civic polls showed that the people had faith in the party and the policies pursued by the central and the state governments.
