Bharuch/Surendranagar/New Delhi: Resuming his campaign trail in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the Congress of seeking to divide the people on caste and religious lines. Apparently referring to the ongoing religion-related overtones in the campaign, Mr Modi asserted that his gods were the 125 crore people of India and that he was serving them.
Mr Modi also referred to the coming elections in the Congress for its next president to hit at its absence of internal democracy.
He said: “If one doesn’t have democracy in his home (party), how can the person practise it in the country?” and added that the outcome of the elections for the top post in the Congress was a foregone conclusion.
He lashed out at the Congress over its criticism of the government’s ambitious bullet train project, saying if the Opposition party had a problem with it, it could roam around on bullock carts.
