Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that Congress should stick to the truth and added that people of Gujarat ''do not like poll time lollipops and false promises of the Congress''.
Campaigning in Bhavnagar for the upcoming Gujarat elections, Modi said ''I am seeing videos of Congress supporters saying, vote for Congress on 9th and 14th and then we will do 'Dadagiri' for 5 years. This is not the Gujarat that the people desire.''
Modi also criticised lawyer and Congress leader Kapil Sibal on the occasion. Congress has a very able lawyer in Kapil Sibal, he said and added ''he is always handling all the indefensible and wrong matters. In 2007 he came to Viramgam and said after the results are out Modi will be in Jail. He was very powerful in that government,'' Modi said.
Taking a dig at Congress for the drubbing it suffered at the Uttar Pradesh Assembly hustings, Modi said the people of UP knew the Congress and their leadership well and they rejected Congress repeatedly.
''The people of UP know the Congress and their leadership well. And see how they have rejected Congress repeatedly,'' he said.
''I fail to understand why is Congress once again doing what it always did in the past- divide people - be it on caste lines, communal lines, between villages and cities. Congress has learnt 'divide and rule' from our colonial rulers rather well,'' Modi said.
Gujarat has grown due to the power of Shanti, Ekta and Sadbhavana, Modi said.
