Mehsana: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Wednesday flagged off the 'Gujarat Gaurav Yatra' in Mehsana.
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and other BJP leaders were also present at the occasion.
Addressing a public rally on the occasion, Mr Nadda said, "BJP is a pro-active, pro-responsible government and pro-responsive government. He said BJP government understands the plight of the people. What did Congress do for years? Pitted brothers against each other, areas against each other and did not supply water where it was needed. Jo vikas ki yatra chalani thi usko atkaya, bhatkaya, latkaya. Now they themselves are stuck..."
"Gaurav yatra is not just for Gujarat alone, it is a yatra to establish pride of entire India. It's a matter of fortune that Gujarat is the 'gangotri' of 'Gaurav Yatra' to re-establish the nation on the global map, to make it self-reliant, developed."
BJP has geared up for the upcoming Assembly elections in Gujarat.
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting at Jamkandorna in Rajkot district. He also held a roadshow after the rally.
