MAHUVA, Gujarat — Stung by repeated attacks by Congress party president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi, BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Saturday hit back at mother-son duo for questioning the Gujarat development model.Modi alleged that the two were competing with each other “to tell lies.” “There is a competition of telling lies between them. If mother tells one lie, the son tells two. If the son tells two, the mother tells three,” Modi said at a rally at Paanch Kakda Maidan in Surat’s Mahuva tehsil. Both Gandhi and her son had questioned the merit and reality of the Gujarat model of development in the recent rallies. Modi said they were frustrated since “a tea-seller” was challenging their regime. “If this mother-son duo do not mention my name, they cannot digest their food. They are facing trouble. They were running a princely state (until now). Nobody dared to challenge their dynasty for 60 years. “They suppressed Sardar Patel. Morarji Desai was thrown out like potatoes and brinjals. Now they are frustrated with this tea-seller. Their supremacy has been challenged by a person who sold tea on trains,” Modi said. “In the competition to tell lies, Rahul bhaiya has come out with an imaginary balloon to woo the female voters. I request them to stop lying,” Modi added, apparently referring to Gandhi’s statements on the snooping scandal in Gujarat. The Gujarat chief minister also alleged that his government introduced 50 percent quota for women in local bodies, but “your (Gandhis’) representative,” the Governor (Kamala Beniwal), “a woman, stalled it for five years.” Alleging that the Congress government at the center imposed a tax of Rs. 5,000 on sugarcane farmers of South Gujarat, he said, “Instead of crushing sugarcane juice, this mother-son duo has sucked the blood of farmers.”
