It's 'vikas vs vansh' in Gujarat: Modi launches fierce attack on Congress

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Monday, launched a fierce attack on the Congress.

Modi, who is the big hope for the BJP, now fighting its “toughest” electoral battle in Gujarat, presided over the finale of the ‘Gujarat Gaurav Mahasammelan’ and addressed a mega rally at Gandhinagar. He declared that this was a fight between Vikasbad (progress) and Vanshbad (dynasty).

Amid fears that the BJP was losing the support of traders in Gujarat, Modi assured them that all hurdles over the Goods and Services Tax would be resolved.

Modi said, “I have said we will review GST and we made changes. If there are still hurdles, we will try and resolve them too. I am confident our traders will understand.”

Modi, who began speaking in Hindi, switched over to Gujarati to connect with local traders and voters on GST. The BJP has been getting reports that anger was brewing among traders over the contentious policy decision.
