Gujarat govt making false promises, says Sonia

December 14, 2012 12:30

Rebutting Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's claims on development in the state and Sir Creek issue, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Friday told an election rally in Kalol that the Gujarat government is making false promises to the electorate.

Modi on Wednesday had asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to stop the dialogue with Pakistan at once on the Sir Creek issue, and demanded that it should not be handed over to the neighbouring nation.

Sonia claimed that Gujarat has progressed due to Congress rule, and added that the central government was committed to national security.

Criticising the Modi government for not utilizing the central funds, Sonia said: "The Congress-led UPA sanctioned more funds to Gujarat than BJP-led NDA government."

Sonia will also be addressing another rally in Mehsana. She is also expected to address a media briefing in Ahmedabad.
