Gandhinagar, Oct 31: Gujarat will celebrate Diwali on Nov 13 along with the rest of the country and then on Dec 20 when the results of the state election would be counted, Chief Minister Narendra Modi said Wednesday as he renewed his attack on the Manmohan Singh-led central government.
"The people of Gujarat will celebrate Diwali twice this year. Once in November, and then once again on Dec 20, when the BJP wins the election," Modi told a rally of the Bharatiya Janata Party's youth wing.
He attacked the opposition Congress, accusing them of "spreading lies" about him and alleging that the party was "wasting our hard-earned money".
"But all this is not going to work. Even today, five years after the last polls, the people of Gujarat still love the BJP," said Modi.
