Bijapur, March 30 (PTI) Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi for his "balloon jibe", NarendraModi today said that the Congress vice president should focus on the nation rather than criticising Gujarat which was declared "number one" by his mother Sonia Gandhi.
"If you think Gujarat model is a balloon, I want to ask if you trust your mother? The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation whose chairperson is your mother, that foundation had declared Gujarat number one. Do you see a balloon in your mother's talk? Does your mother also release balloons?," Modi said addressing a rally here.
He said the people of Gujarat had rejected the Congress leaders' "balloon of lies" in the last three assembly elections in the state.
Tearing into the much touted Gujarat development model, Rahul Gandhi had recently called it a "new heavier balloon" filled with "gas" and said it will also burst like the BJP's 'IndiaShining' campaign in 2004 and 2009.
"They (BJP) had made a balloon of 'India Shining' in 2004 and 2009. The people of India deflated it twice. This time they have blown a new, heavier balloon, the Gujarat model balloon filled with gas which will burst again," Gandhi had said, taking on the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate.
Attacking Rahul for criticising Gujarat model, Modi today said that this Lok Sabha election was taking place to elect the Prime Minister and the government at the centre and not to form the government in Gujarat.
"Shehzade these days talks about Gujarat...Is this election to elect the Gujarat government? Will its CM be elected? The election is to elect the Prime Minister...To form government in Delhi. Therefore, shouldn't the discussion be of the country's government?," Modi said adding that Congress should explain what it did in their ten years of rule.
Retorting to the balloon jibe, Modi said, "You, your party and 18 chief ministers came to Gujarat in 2002. And had spoken lies of such balloon. And your balloon of lies was not accepted by the people of Gujarat."
"You had done the same thing in 2007 and in December 2012. But you could not make the people of Gujarat believe your lies. People were seeing development and that is why people have elected BJP," he said.
Without naming Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Modi said that it was she who had declared Gujarat number one.
The BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate invoked Atal Bihari Vajpayee's regime and said that more youths were given employment during his six year tenure than what Congress has done in ten years of their rule.
Portraying a picture of doom for the Congress in the Lok Sabha polls, Modi said, "in no state will the Congress tally reach double digit...In some states they will not be able to even open account."
Modi said he does not think those who looted the nation can escape. "I am seeing the mood from Kashmir to Kanyakumari."
Calling Congress manifesto "Dhokha patra", Modi said that the party had become "so thick skinned that despite doing nothing in their ten year rule, they have again said that they will give employment to 10 crore youths".
"Figures say it itself. During Atal Bihari Vajpayee's
government which lasted for six years, 6.5 crore youths were
given employment...and during Madam's government in 10 years,
only 1.25 crore youths have been given employment," Modi said.
He asked people whether the Congress should give an
explanation about the work done by it at the Centre in the
last 10 years.
Congress neither gave an explanation of its works nor
brought down prices, after making a promise of bringing them
down in 100 days, he said.
"They broke their promise, will you break ties with them?
There is need to give a final farewell to Congress once and
for all," Modi said.
Modi said farmers were dying in the country due to wrong
policies.
While sugarcane farmers are not getting proper prices for
their products, sugar mills are lying closed, he said.
He said more farmers have died in the country than jawans
while fighting battles.
Accusing Congress for working with other parties with an
aim that he should not win, Modi asked, "Why the fear among
Congressmen? Why are they afraid? They know their place after
16th May... that is why they are scared. But this is a
democracy. Once the people bless someone, nothing else works,"
he added.
Modi said Congress won't be saved and neither can it save
the nation.
Mocking the Congress manifesto further, Modi said the
party keeps "playing the same tape record, but the country
needs a track record." He called the manifesto "a bundles of
lies."
"It is not a manifesto but a document of deceit," he
added.
Modi said the country has demographic dividend, democracy
and a large demand.
"These 3Ds, no other nation has. Such a youthful nation,
what can it not do! It can do everything. We can become the
pride of the world."
Stating that one needs the right intentions to free the
country from corruption, he said, "Some say there is no
freedom from corruption. I disagree. ... one needs the right
intentions," he said.
There would not be any scope for corruption if the state
is policy-driven and then the scope for discrimination will
not arise, he said.
At his rally at Gokak in Belgaum district, Modi said the
mood of the people was clear and there is no need for any
analysis.
"The wave is becoming a tsunami," he said.
He said UPA should tell people what they did because it
is a Parliamentary election. "Tell me is this a Parliamentary
election or not? Should UPA not tell people what they did?"
"The Congress' arrogance is sky high and that is why it is
refusing to answer the people," Modi said. The elections are
for Parliament, but they keep talking about Gujarat, Modi said
adding, "For an MA exam, write MA answers not something else."
Modi promised to bring back black money stashed abroad if
people voted BJP to power, but he said Congress has no
intentions of bringing it back. "Every citizen wants that
black money should be brought back. But Congress doesn't
intend to do so," he added.
He said Congress' "single point agenda" was to stop him
while he wanted the country to progress. "You have always
elected rulers. This time, I request you to elect a servant."
Modi said in an affidavit in the Supreme Court the Centre
had admitted that the Atal Behari Vajpayee government had
built half the roads in India in the last several years, but
the Congress took 60 years to prepare infrastructure maps.
"Atalji had the vision to develop infrastructure, but
Congress believes in the opposite. Is this how you function?"
he said. "You (Congress) took 60 years to make infrastructure
maps so you will take 600 years to get them on the ground. Can
people wait for 600 years," he added.
Karnataka can contribute so much to India's economy, but
the Congress government has not done anything for the state,
Modi said.
