He tore apart Modi's tall claims about several other development parameters.
"In many conclaves, Modi claims that Gujarat is Number one in industrial development, which is a white lie. Maharashtra is Number one, followed by Delhi, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In software exports, Gujarat ranks 11th in India. Even Uttar Pradesh is ahead of Gujarat in IT," Singhvi said.
"Gujarat ranks eighth in per capita income, 14th in the prosperity index, eighth in poverty reduction, and eighth in GDP. Even Bihar is ahead of Gujarat in GDP," claimed Singhvi, who alleged that Modi's claims of tourism and sports development is nothing but a marketing gimmick.
Singhvi also added that even after organising sports events like 'Khel Mahakumbh', Gujarat stands nowhere in sports.
"Haryana bagged 21 gold medals in Commonwealth games, while Gujarat bagged zero, but like Modi, Haryana Chief Minister never boasted about it. Similarly, Gujarat bagged no gold medal in the recent national games, while a total of 444 gold medals were conferred in that event. I challenge Modi on these facts," Singhvi said.
When asked why Priyanka Gandhi is kept away from active politics and campaigning, Singhvi claimed that she is very much into campaigning.
"However, we should also respect the boundaries she has set for herself. We must not interfere in what she decided for herself," Singhvi said.
