  • Congress will give 12 gas cylinders at subsidized rate, if it comes to power.
  • Gujarat Chief Minister is encashing the name of Swami Vivekanand because he cannot get vote either in the name of Ram or development.
  • Gujarat Government has not done any such work on the basis of which he can ask for vote and so he has launched a false attack against the central government.
  • Good quality land of Sanand which was reserved for Animal Husbandry University has been given to favourite industrialist for free.
  • 100 acre land between Ahmedabad and Sanand has been given to an industrialist for building township. If this land would have been given for houses for women, no women of the area would have been left homeless.
  • In Gujarat there is development of favourites only.

Leader ofOppositionin theAssemblyShaktisinh Gohil whileaddressing arallyin Sanandtodaysaidthat there was anambitiousplantosetupAnimalHusbandryUniversityin Sanand. However, theGovernmentwhich playedpoliticsin the name of Gau vansh gave away the land of the University to theindustrialistTataalmost free. The BJP Government did notstophere. Despite giving thisland valued at crores of rupeesitalso gave 100acreland between Ahmedabad and Sanandfordeveloping atownship. If this land would have been given for houses for women, no women ofSanadand Ahmedabad would have been left homeless. InGujaratthere isdevelopmentof favourites only.

There ishugetaxburdenon common man and only favourites are gettingmoneyfromcoffers. Congress ruledstates are giving 9 cylinders atsubsidizedratestothe people while GujaratChiefMinisterhasnot madeannouncementforeven a single cylinder. The ChiefMinisterspeaks only lies and always blamesCentrebut has not provided anyreliefto common man in cylinders. Ifitcomes topowerthan Congresswillgive 6 gas cylinders asperCentre’s subsidizedrateand theStateGovernmentwould givesubsidyon remaining cylinders needed by the people. Thismeansthat Congress will give 12 cylinders at subsidized rates.

Congress aimsforbalanceddevelopmentand facilitiestothe common people and announces its development agenda. The announcements made by Congress are notpoliticalbut havebeen developedwellwith theadviceof experts and keeping in mind the needs andfinancialsituation. If Congress comes topowerthen all the promises would be fulfilled, Gohil said.

TheChiefMinisterearlier indulged invotepoliticsby dividing Hindu and Muslims. But now people of theStateare not misled by all these things so he started gimmick of Sadbhavna. But the people of the state realized that by spending crores of theirmoneyitwasjustvote politics. Nowafter 12 years theChiefMinister is not abletoaskforvotes in the name ofwork, Ram,divisionor Sadbhavana. In the last 12 years he has not done any suchworkon thebasisof which hecanaskforvotes. So now he is using Swami Vivekanand’s name for hispoliticalgames. Vivekanandji hadsaid“I do not believe in God or any such religion which does notwipe outtearsfromthe eyes of any widow or cannot givefoodtopoor or facilities toorphanchildren”.Actually in the last 12 years Modi has actedtotallyoppositefrom Vivekanandji’s philosophy. In the last 12 years widowpensionhas not beenincreased by even a single rupee.CentralGovernmenthas started MNREGAtogiveemploymentto people of thestatebut Modi government has keptminimumwagesvery low incomparisonto other states. Many children have beenlostin the state but theChiefMinister has not made any effort to wipe tears of their parents.Gujarathas done nothing fororphanchildren. The ChiefMinisterhas workedtotally against Vivekanand’sideologyand now has undertaken yatra in his name at governmentexpenseonly forpoliticalgames. But the people of the statewillnotsupporthim.

Addressingpublicrallyat Sanand MP Jagdishbhai Thakore gave many examples about Gujarat Government’s antipolicyabout common man andbackward class. Hesaidthat like Britisher’s thepresentState Government has divided people ofGujaratand has caused tremendous damage.
