‘Fake, hollow, shallow’ is what Narendra Modi is all about, Congress on Sunday said, hitting back at the Gujarat chief minister for his attack on UPA and reeled out statistics to rubbish his claims on development.
‘Modi is all rhetoric, lies and more lies. Making false claims and doling out fake promises. That is what Modi is all about. Fake, hollow, shallow. Empty vessels make most noise’, former CLP leader of Gujarat Shaktisinh Gohil told reporters at AICC here.
‘No wonder Modi desperately tried to make so much, in his usual hollow rhetorical style in Hyderabad,’ he said.
The Gujarat Congress leader said that while the chief minister ‘brags’ being ‘development personified’, his own government's reports and statistics depict a completely different picture than what he claims.
He said the latest economic data shows the poor have not benefited from Modi’s development.
‘The data shows that distribution of benefits of high growth have not been uniform across different strata of society. In Gujarat only the rich gets richer...Middle class and poor people have not benifited anything from Modi's so- called development model for whose propaganda he has hired American firms and spent billions of tax money,’ Gohil said.
