Gujarat development model a 'toffee model': Rahul

Latur (Mah): In a blistering attack on Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi today dubbed the Gujarat model propagated by Narendra Modi as a “toffee model”, saying it has benefited only one industrialist in the state, ignoring

“Land of Aurangabad's size...45,000 acres...has been given for a mere Rs 300 crore. This is toffee model not Gujarat model.

For Re 1, you get a toffee here. There land was sold at Re one per meter...it was the land of the poor and the farmers,” Gandhi said.

He said a loan of Rs 10,000 crore was given to build the Nano car. The amount is more than what is spent on health and education in Gujarat.

Taking a dig at BJP's campaign posters on empowering women, Gandhi said 20,000 women are “missing” in party-ruled Chhattisgarh.
