Gujarat seeking answers for 22 years of BJP rule: Rahul

New Delhi, November 29 : Stepping up his offensive against Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the Gujarat elections, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday sought to make the state’s ruling BJP accountable for its promises in the last polls. Gandhi also brought up the BJP’s 22-year rule in Gujarat and said people were demanding answers.
“22 salon ka hisaab, Gujarat mange jawaab (Gujarat demands answers for 22 years of BJP rule),” he tweeted.Seeking to pin the government down on the issue of housing, Gandhi asked the Prime Minister whether it would take 45 more years to provide new houses to Gujaratis.Giving numbers to buttress his argument, he said, “First question to the Prime Minister on the state of affairs in Gujarat: In 2012, he promised to provide 50 lakh new houses, but provided 4.72 lakh in five years. Will the Prime Minister tell whether it will take another 45 years to fulfil the promise?”
