New Delhi: The Congress today stepped up its offensive against Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the Gujarat elections, as party vice president Rahul Gandhi quizzed the BJP leader on promises made in the last polls.
Mr Gandhi, who will ask PM Modi a question every day in the run-up to the Assembly polls, brought up the BJP's 22-year rule in Gujarat and said people were demanding answers.
"22 salon ka hisaab, Gujarat mange jawaab (Gujarat demands answers for 22 years of BJP rule)," he tweeted.
Giving numbers to buttress his argument, he said, "First question to the prime minister on the state of affairs in Gujarat - In 2012, he promised to provide 50 lakh new houses, but provided 4.72 lakh in five years. Will the prime minister tell whether it will take another 45 years to fulfil the promise?"
"Rahul Gandhi is asking a question every day, why did mis-governance of 22 years create such a situation," he tweeted.
"We expect that the prime minister and the BJP will find time to answer the questions posed to them by Rahul Gandhi," he said.
The prime minister and the opposition leader today campaigned in the state for the polls to be held on December 9 and 14.
