Gujarat: Continuing his campaign in the election-bound Gujarat, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-led state government, saying that it is "remote-controlled" from Delhi.
"These days the Gujarat government is remote-controlled from Delhi. Time has come that the government of Gujarat runs from Gujarat and on the basis of the voices of people," he said.
He also targeted the government for working for the top officials, rather than working for the common men.
He said, "The small traders, fishermen etc have made Gujarat what it is. They only work for the top 4-5 udyogpati. He doesn't fulfil the promises made to the poor farmers etc. The real Gujarat Model belongs to them."
