Stung by his attack on Sonia Gandhi and Rahul, Congress today charged Narendra Modi with talking the language of anti-social elements as he was "losing ground fast".        

"The way the Chief Minister is talking of mental balance and imbalance shows that he has become desperate.... And the reason for that trouble is that he is losing ground fast," party general secretary Janardan Dwivedi told reporters.        

The party asked its workers not to get provoked by Gujarat Chief Minister's words and maintain peace.        

With the first phase of polling in Gujarat over, Dwivedi who is also Congress media department chairman, said that the atmosphere in the state is "not favourable" to Modi and that is why he has been using the "language of anti-social elements".        

"Modi is using a language which is used by anti-social elements in films, villages and towns.... But I am not saying that he is anti-social element. The language he is using needs to be denounced," he said.
