Congress spreading canards about BJP: Modi

Nandurbar (Maha): Narendra Modi today accused the Congress of spreading “canards” that the BJP would impose the Uniform Civil Code and take away the rights of the adivasis, if it is voted to power.“Congress says

“More than your MP did for the region, Gujarat has done for him. He has had Gujarat's water. But he still doesn't wish to do anything...But now I have a chance to do something for this region, which has helped us win Gujarat,” Modi said.  

“Normally it is difficult to make out which village belongs in which state, but the adivasis here told me it is very easy to make out.

The village which has electricity, belongs to Gujarat and the one in darkness belongs to Maharashtra,” Modi added.

Campaigning for BJP candidate Heena Gavit, daughter of sacked NCP minister Vijaykumar Gavit, Modi said Congress did nothing for the adivasis in 50 years and it was the Vajpayee government that remembered the adivasis.  

“Adivasis have been present from many years. They were present during the Revolt of 1857 and during India's independence. But the Congress never remembered the adivasis.
