Bhuj (Gujarat): Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi Saturday accused Gujarat
Chief Minister Narendra Modi of practising "politics of anger" and
said it was time people switched to the power of "love" preached
by Mahatma Gandhi for the state's progress.
"When my grandmother (Indira Gandhi) and father (Rajiv Gandhi)
died, I had a lot of angst in me. Anger makes a person blind. I
was like a blind man. But when I followed Gandhiji's path of love
and kept anger aside, I started seeing things clearly. Your chief
minister still has a lot of anger inside him," Rahul Gandhi said
while addressing a rally here.
"You (the people of Gujarat) are full of love. You have your own
dreams and it is you who run this state, the historical past of
here has been of love, which is there in your hearts that you have
expressed and have shown also. There should be a government in
this state which has love," he added.
He also questioned the Gujarat government's claim that the Narmada
river water had reached every household of the state. "I am asking
you today; do you have water in your homes?" he asked, to which
the assembled crowd said a resounding "no".
He added that nearly 14,000 Right to Information (RTI) queries
were pending in Gujarat. The Lokayukta could not be appointed in
the state as "one man" did not want it.
This was Rahul Gandhi's third state tour ahead of the second phase
of polling in Gujarat Dec 17. Sixty-eight per cent voting was
recorded in the first phase of polling Dec 13.
