Congress leaders once again hit out at the BJP and chief minister Narendra Modi's "luxurious" on Tuesday. While Congress members of Parliament from Saurashtra region could not attend the party's fast, minister of state for railways Bharatsinh Solanki, party's national general-secretary Madhusudan Mistry and Rajya Sabha MP Praveen Rashtrapal were present at the Congress fast venue outside Sabarmati Ashram.Many religious leaders, including saints of Swaminarayan Gurukul from Kalol, religious heads of Maldhari community, also visited Shankersinh Vaghela and Arjun Modiwadia at the venue.
Vaghela again spewed venom at BJP and Modi. "There is a saying in Sanskrit that 'Excess of anything should be avoided', now Modi and his government have done so many excessive things, which will not last for long. In next six months or in a year, they will see the results. We have gone on fast because of their fast, but I am not able to understand why they have gone on fast? He is misusing Gujarat people's tax money for his own personal gain," he said.
He further said, "His government is talking about US Congress report, but I want to ask why we need to live on a certificate from the US?"
Leader of the opposition in assembly, Shaktisinh Gohil, said: "He is planning to conclude his fast on Monday evening, though as per his announcement of 72-hour fast it should be completing on Tuesday. Many Muslim leaders complained to me over phone that they had been forced to visit Modi's fast venue and meet him."
Union minister Solanki referred to Sigmund Freud in his speech. "Sigmund Freud has said that if any person is feeling very scared from within, he behaves as if he is the most powerful. He (Modi) has fear for the forthcoming elections."
GPCC president Modhwadia said, "The government machinery and the BJP are trying hard to bring in more and more Muslim people to the venue. If Muslim men and women are not turning up, the BJP is arranging for BJP women cell members and covering their faces with veils.
