link
Ahmedabad, Dec 2 The BJP seems to have turned the tables on the Congress by stringing together 80 poll rallies across the state to steal Sonia Gandhiâs âNew-age Gujaratâ thunder on Sunday. The 80 rallies appeared more than enough to overcast the release of the Congressâ election manifesto that promised among other things free ration for the Gujaratâs poor
In contrast, the Congress seems to have a ground soil. The Congress manifesto doesnât make Godhra the main poll issue. âIf the Congress comes to power the party will give 25 kg wheat, 10 kg rice, 4 kg dal, 5 kg sugar and 15 litre of kerosene free of cost to 20% of the poorest of poor every month,â GPCC president Bharat Solanki said. The manifesto also promises to develop the economic status of the minorities.
