Frequent visits
Prime Minister Modi has been conducting frequent visits to the poll-bound Gujarat in recent times. Meanwhile, Congress leader and Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot has taken a dig at Modi's frequent visits to Gujarat, stating the Prime Minister should set up a "camp office" of the PMO in poll-bound Gujarat.
"The Prime Minister started visiting Gujarat the very next day after winning the Uttar Pradesh elections. Work is suffering in Delhi. He should open a camp office of the PMO in Gujarat so that work continues smoothly," Gehlot, the Congress' senior observer for Gujarat elections, was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
"A Prime Minister is a very busy person. Why should he visit his state so often? His name is enough. Is it a small thing that the leader from this state is the Prime Minister? (Union home minister) Amit Shah is also camping here," Gehlot added.
