Criticising the Gujarat model of development, he said, “In education, Gujarat stands 17th, in curbing malnutrition, it is last. It has the highest school drop-out ratio in India.
With a debt of Rs 1,70,000 crore, it is the third most indebted state in India. This is the reality of Gujarat model.”
Sharma also accused Modi of spreading lies about UPA government's performance.
“From Rs 24,000 in 2004, India's per capita income now stands at Rs 69,000. From mere USD 500 billion, India's GDP stands at USD 2 trillion now. Our exports rose from USD 60 billion in 2004 to USD 300 billion in 2014. Foreign Direct Investment multiplied 15 times in last ten years under UPA government,” he said.
