Gandhiji, Sardar Patel Gujarat’s Pride In 20th Century, PM Modi In 21st: Rajnath Singh

TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ : Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today said Mahatma Gandhi and Vallabhbhai Patel were the symbols of Gujarat’s honour and pride in the 20th Century and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as the state’s “honour and pride” in the 21st Century.

Addressing a press conference in Ahmedabad ahead of the first phase of polling for Gujarat Assembly elections on December 1, Rajnath Singh said Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s “Ravan” remark against PM Modi reflects the mentality of the “entire Congress leadership”.

He said the people of Gujarat will give a befitting reply to those who used abusive words for the prime minister “who is Gujarat’s honour and pride”. “While Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel were the symbols of Gujarat’s honour and pride in the 20th Century, our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as Gujarat’s honour and pride in the 21st Century. And today, foul language is being used by Congress for our PM,” he said.
