Congress did remarkably well, insists Rahul

April 01, 2014 18:38

Will Cong's 'remarkably well' performance work for it? Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today said that the UPA government did remarkably well during its decade-long governance at the Centre, while the BJP talked divisive politics.

Stating that the "Gujarat model" would not be applicable in the entire country, Gandhi told an election meeting in Jharkhand, "The UPA government has performed remarkably well... and don't get misguided by tall promises, and vote for the Congress candidates."

The Congress spoke about the poor and the common people, he said. "The Congress has always worked for unity and development of the country." Gandhi's second meeting was cancelled after his helicopter developed a technical snag at the Ranchi airport.
