Without taking names, PM Modi said some people abuse Gujarat even after eating the "salt" manufactured in the State
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 21 took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, saying those who have been thrown out of power are taking out foot march to get back to power.
Addressing a gathering in Surendranagar town of poll-bound Gujarat, Mr. Modi also said instead of talking about development during elections, the Opposition Congress is saying it will show him his " aukat" (status).
"Now, the Congress does not talk about development during elections. Instead, Congress leaders are saying they will show Modi his aukat. Just look at their arrogance. They, indeed, belong to a royal family, while I am merely a servant having no aukat," he said.

"In the past, the Congress had used words like 'neech aadmi', 'maut ka saudagar' and 'naali ka keeda' for me. I urge you to talk about development instead of playing this game of 'aukat'," the PM said, adding that he swallows such insults because his focus is to make India a developed nation.
Elections to the 182-member Gujarat Assembly will be held in two phases on December 1 and 5.
Mr. Modi said people who were dethroned long back were taking out yatra to get back the power.
