Gujarat govt misleading people: Vaghela
18 Jun 2012 1:25 AM GMT
Targeting Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Shankarsinh Vaghela on Sunday alleged the BJP government had done 'nothing' in the last one decade besides 'misleading people with false claims'.
'Modi claims that Gujarat is number one in terms of development, but a recent survey said that Bihar is clocking much higher growth than Gujarat,' Vaghela told reporters here.
Referring to the reported distribution of magazines containing lewd jokes to government schools in Gujarat recently, Vaghela alleged that the government wielded no control over the administration.
'Modi government has no control over the state's administration, which resulted in the copies of such magazines getting circulated in government schools in Gujarat,' the Congress leader, who was recently appointed as the chairman of Indian Tourism Development Corporation [ITDC] said.
According to sources, the May 2012 issue of 'Puzzle Magic' magazine distributed to all the schools of the state under the 'Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan', contained four pages of lewd jokes. However, the state government had later blacklisted the publisher and issued notices for not taking its clearance.
Likening BJP's 'Dhan Sangrah' drive to 'extortion', Vaghela alleged that the money collected through the drive would be used by the party to woo the voters during the upcoming assembly polls.
