| At an election meeting in Delhi today, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi derided Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "handing people brooms" instead of meeting expectations on creating jobs and fighting inflation.
Delhi votes on February 7. Results will be declared three days later.
"You wanted employment...you wanted inflation controlled...instead, he gave you a broom," Mr Gandhi said, swiping at the PM's Clean India campaign, which has seen top BJP leaders like him cleaning parts of dirty streets.

Kejriwal is a Gentleman, Must Follow Rules, Says Chief Election Commissioner HS Brahma
The PM's party, the BJP, is fielding former top cop Kiran Bedi as its chief ministerial candidate against Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aami Party. The Congress campaign is being led by Ajay Maken. In the last election in 2013, the Congress, which had governed the capital for 15 years, was decimated and placed third.
"India will decide what to do with Rahul Gandhi. The people didn't even give his party enough votes to claim the Leader of the Opposition post in parliament," said the BJP's Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
Mr Gandhi, who is the Vice-President of the Congress, accused the BJP of inciting communal riots for electoral advantage. "In the 15 years that Congress was in power in Delhi, not a single riot took place," Mr Gandhi said. Senior leaders of his party are, however, being tried for alleged roles in the 1984 riots in Delhi in which thousands of Sikhs were killed
