Banaskantha (Gujarat), Apr 20: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that the Congress was not interested in development of the country.

“The Congress is not interested in development issues. They just want to remain in power for which they indulge in vote bank politics,” Modi said while addressing an election rally here.

Modi further said that he has a magic medicine to solve all problems of the people of the State.

“I have a magic medicine to solve all problems of the people of the State. It is only development and not vote bank politics that can solve problems of the people of the state,” Modi said.

Modi also blamed the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government for obstructing the progress of Gujarat.

“We had asked the Central Government to give us gas so that we can generate electricity at the Pipava port in Bhavnagar. But they refused. They are obstructing the progress of Gujarat,” he added.

Modi appealed the people of Gujarat to cast their votes even if the temperature is high.

“Even if the heat is unbearable do come and cast your vote for the BJP to make L. K. Advani the Prime Minister of the country. Don’t sit in front of your television watching the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 matches,” Modi added. (ANI)
