Vaghela takes dig at Narendra Modi over creation of new districts

Senior Congress leader Shankarsinh Vaghela criticised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for announcing creation of six new districts and several talukas in the state before January 26 next year.

“Modi will not be there in Gandhinagar after the Assembly polls to implement the decision of creation of new districts and talukas as BJP will be wiped out and Congress will come to power in the state after a gap of about 17 years,” he said.

The chairman of the electioneering committee of the state Congress was addressing public meetings held at Zalod and Lunawada in Panchmahal district.

“When I was the chief minister,I made the announcement of creation of three new districts of Narmada,Dohad and Tapi in tribal belt and honoured it,” he said.
