'Rahul's visit reflects Cong lacks credible leaders in Guj'

New Delhi: Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said on Monday that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's visit to the state reflects the party has "no credible" local leaders.
Gandhi began his three-day visit from the Saurashtra region of Gujarat on Monday.
The Congress has also launched a social media campaign –'development gone crazy' –in Gujarat, criticising the BJP government, which has ruled the state uninterrupted for 19 years.
Rupani dismissed the Congress's campaign, saying the criticism is only in the media.
"Rahul Gandhi's coming (to Gujarat) is an admission that the Congress has no credible local leadership. Had they been strong and visible, he would not have had to go," Rupani told reporters here after the ground-breaking ceremony of the Gujarat Sadan.
The chief minister, whose party is gearing up for one of its difficult electoral battles in the state, exuded confidence that the BJP will sweep the assembly elections.
