NAVSARI: Launching her election campaign, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Saturday attacked BJP's claims on tackling terrorism saying major terror attacks took placing during its rule, capping them with the foreign minister himself taking a dreaded terrorist to Afghanistan.
Describing Gujarat's BJP Government as 'merchants of fear and death', she state had really seen any actual development as being claimed by the ruling party.
Addressing a public meeting at village Jamanpada in Chikli (ST reserved) Assembly constituency in this district, Gandhi said BJP talked big on the issue of fighting terrorism.
"But is it not not true that terrorist attacks on Jammu's Raghunath temple, Akshardham temple (near Gandhinagar) and on Parliament happened when they were in power," she asked.
Gandhi said "Not only this, is it not true that during their rule, the foreign minister himself released the terrorist from our jails and sent them to Afghanistan. The reality is that the people ruling Gujarat are perpetrators of falsehood, treachery, fear and death."
She had a dig Chief Minister Narendra Modi when she said that a state does not progress through printing of advertisements and display of coins.
"People of Gujarat want a government that does not break hearts but works to join them. I know that the people in Gujarat are impatient for a change. A sensitive government is needed in Gujarat that can take care of all sections of people, including adivasis. I have come to seek your mandate (janadesh) so that Gujarat is once again a peaceful and progressive state", Gandhi said.
