Modi’s Guj is 'toffee’ model of devt: Rahul
Narendra Modi’s Gujarat is \'Toffee’ Model of Development: Rahul Gandhi. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked Bharatiya Janata Party\'s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi\'s Gujarat model of development, calling it the \"toffee model of development.\"
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's Gujarat model of development, calling it the "toffee model of development." Speaking at a rally in Maharashtra's Latur district, the Congress leader said, "In Gujarat, Adani gets land in just Rupee 1, the same money which you spend to buy a toffee. It's a toffee model." This is not the first time Gandhi has attacked Modi for his alleged links with the Gujarat industrialist Gautam Adani.
In an exclusive interview to India Today on Saturday, Gandhi had said, "Let's look at the Gujarat model. One man, whose business turnover, 10 years ago, was Rs 3,000 crore is Rs 40,000 crore today." When asked point-blank if he was referring to Gautam Adani, Gandhi had said, "I don't want to take names. He's worth Rs.40,000 crore. How did this happen? Land the size of Vadodara was given to him for justRs.300 crore."
Speaking at length about the reality of the much-hyped Gujarat model of development, Gandhi had said, "Textile industry is finished. I have interacted with diamond cutters of Gujarat. They are perishing. Their children are dying of hunger. The farmers are crying. The state has maximum labour disputes. But, there is marketing. They (the BJP leaders) come on TV and talk. So, this is the reality of the Gujarat model."
