BJP government on its way out in Gujarat: Congress

NEW DELHI: With Congress making an impressive comeback in rural Gujarat in the local bodies polls, Congress on Wednesday claimed the BJP government is on its way out in the home state of PM Modi.

“Today’s results are a stepping stone for a Congress victory in 2017. Their (the BJP government) anti-people policies have taken a toll on people,” senior leader Ahmed Patel, political secretary to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, said in a tweet.

Expressing gratitude to the people of Gujarat, he said these results indicate the BJP government is on its way out in Gujarat. He complimented state party leaders and workers for their untiring efforts and hard work.
