Meanwhile, the Congress VP on Wednesday dismissed a World Bank report on India's improved 'ease of doing business' status and asked Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to meet small traders to understand the reality.


On the first day of his three-day campaign tour of south Gujarat, Gandhi also hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of black money and said demonetisation had destroyed the country's economy.


Stepping up his attack on the Centre and the BJP-led state government, he covered a wide range of topics in his public rally, including GST, caste politics and corporate favouritism.


Targeting the FM, a day after the release of the World Bank report, Gandhi said, "Yesterday Arun Jaitley ji said some foreign organisation has certified that India has considerably improved in ease of doing business."


"The entire country will shout and say ease of doing business is absent, you have destroyed it, your demonetisation and GST have ruined it," he said.


Assembly elections in Gujarat will be held in two phases on December 9 and 14.


The first phase will be held in 89 of the 182 seats and will cover 19 of 33 districts. The notification for the second phase will be issued on November 20 for the remaining 93 Assembly seats in 14 districts.


The votes will be counted on December 18, the same day as Himachal Pradesh, where elections will be held on November 9.


The BJP has been in power in Gujarat since 1998 and the Congress is seeking to make a comeback.
