“He (Rahul) has used a word from Hindi which is used to abuse. He has described the people of Gujarat as “Ulloo” (fools). He insulted all the people of Gujarat. The people whom you describe as fools have rejected you for three terms.

You have befooled people for 60 years, now people of India will not accept you,” Modi said about Rahul.

He alleged three generations of Congress have tried to spread lies which the people of Gujarat have not accepted.

“Now the people of the country will also reject you like what the people of Gujarat have done.”

Taking a jibe at the oft-repeated claim of Modi's humble beginning as tea vendor, Rahul said all professions should be respected except those who make a “fool” of others.

Modi also attacked Congress President Sonia Gandhi for heading the National Advisory Council (NAC), a body of NGOs, which he described as one which has rendered the Planning Commission as zero.
