Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today attacked the Congress-led UPA government, saying "the plane of its economic policies, instead of taking off, has actually crash landed".

"These youngsters who make India proud overseas with their knowledge and skills don't belong to any dynasty but are rising due to their talents," Modi said.
