Karauli: Narendra Modi would have “ousted” even Atal Bihari Vajpayee like he did  L K Advani and Jaswant Singh were, said Rahul Gandhi in a scathing attack on BJP’s prime ministerial aspirant.
The Congress Vice-President had a dig at Modi asking voters at a rally to make him the “chowkidar” (watchman) of the country. “He (Modi) boasts of development in Gujarat but it was not a single man who changed Gujarat. It was the hard work of labourers and farmers who made Gujarat.
“He wants to get the keys (control) of the country in his hands but what happened in Gujarat? People gave him keys but he brought in (businessman) Adani,” Gandhi said.
“A group of Sikh farmers from Gujarat told me that their forefathers migrated from Pakistan to Gujarat and they put in their hard work and efforts to make the land allotted to them fertile.” Now, Gujarat government officials have asked them to leave the state terming them as outsiders, he said, adding that the same treatment was meted out to senior leaders in BJP.
