Bharuch (Guj): Sharpening its attack on the
Congress in poll-bound Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
today accused the opposition party of seeking to divide
society on the basis of caste and religion.
Resuming his campaign in his home state, where the first
phase of Assembly elections is to be held on December 9, Modi
lashed out at the Congress, saying that it wanted to create
"walls between brothers".
"The people of Gujarat know what the Congress is up to.
It changes colour time and again, creates a wall between
brothers," he said.
Addressing a rally in Bharuch district, Modi said the
party made "one caste fight with the other, one religion fight
with another".
"They keep you busy in fighting with each other. You may
die but the Congress will eat 'malai' (cream)," he said.
The prime minister is slated to address two more rallies
in Surendranagar and Rajkot later in the day. Bharuch goes to
polls on Saturday.
Gujarat will vote in two phases - on December 9 and 14
- to elect a 182-member Assembly. The counting of votes will
take place on December 18.
