| Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi wrapping up his Gujarat assembly poll campaign with a sharp attack on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
He accused Modi of lying about the developmental work in the state and asked the voters to ''throw out'' his government.
Lambasting Modi's ''Resurgent Gujarat'' campaign, Rahul alleged the Chief Minister had spent over Rs 700 crore on ''publicity gimmicks to market his false claims of developments in Gujarat''.
''The money spent on publicity could have used for the welfare of the weaker sections,'' he said.
He was addressing a series of meetings at his roadshows in the city and Limdi in the neighbouring Dahod district of central Gujarat which were hit by post-Godhra riots in 2002.
The Congress leader also charged Modi was making wrong claims of Gujarat topping the list of industries and attracting huge investments in the state.
''Gujarat stands at fifth position as far as industrial development is concerned. The state is behind Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Delhi,'' Rahul said in his brief speech where an impressive crowd, mostly youths, had gathered to listen him.
In the field of education, Vadodara was once considered as a main education centre not only in the country but also abroad but the standard of education has comedown during BJP rule, the Congress leader charged.
Now Gujarat is behind Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in education, he said.
