People of Gujarat have rejected Modi's hollow development model, Rahul Gandhi speaks after defeat

After Congress won 77 seats out of 182 in Gujarat Assembly against BJP's 99, Rahul Gandhi today addressing the media outside Parliament said this shows "people rejected Modi's model of development."

"Gujarat verdict shows that people reject Modi's model of development, which is hollow development," he remarked.

On the bleak margin win of BJP, Rahul further commented, "Three-four months back when we went to Gujarat it was said that Congress cannot fight BJP, but we worked hard and you have seen the results."

Gandhi's comments assume significance as 99 seats for BJP in Gujarat is the party's worst performance in the state since 1995.
