Kutch: Launching the campaign for next year's state assembly election well in advance, Gujarat Congress on Wednesday criticised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, saying that he changed colours "like a chameleon".
The head of Gujarat Congress campaign committee, Shankarsinh Vaghela, visited the famous 'Mata No Madh' shrine in Kutch district on Wednesday morning, on the first day of Navratri festival, before the start of the campaign. He also visited Haji Pir Dargah.
The elections are due in December 2012, but Congress, which has been in the opposition for the last 20 years, has launched the campaign almost one and half years before.
"Earlier, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi played on the feelings of Hindus, and now he has changed his colour like chameleon to play on the sentiments of Muslims, with his three-day fast," Gujarat Congress president Arjun Modhvadia said at rally in Bhuj.
"Time has come for the people of Gujarat to teach him a lesson," Modhvadia said.
"Earlier, several terrorists (supposedly) used to come to kill the Chief Minister and get killed in police encounters. Now it has been proved that almost all these encounters were fake," he said.
Vaghela said, "Time has come to take a stock of the functioning of this government and the intelligent people of the state will bring in a change this time, they have realised the truth behind this government".
