The BJP PM candidate said that the "only job of the Congress was to splash mud at Modi".In a hard-hitting speech in Raigarh in Chhattisgarh, the Gujarat Chief Minister said, "UPA says tea sellers cannot be PM. Are those who sell our nation eligible to become the PM then? UPA leaders are cheating the poor by insulting them...the poor will have their revenge."
The BJP PM candidate further said that the "only job of the Congress was to splash mud at Modi".
Modi also took on the Congress over one of its leader demanding that Lata Mangeshkar be stripped off her Bharat Ratna for supporting the BJP's PM candidate. "Is this a democracy where you cannot voice your opinion? Isn't Congress acting like Hitler, isn't this attitude against democracy?" said Modi.
He asserted that it was necessary to create a "Congress-free India" to get rid of corruption, adding that even Mahatma Gandhi wanted the party to be dissolved.
Modi further hit out at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi addressing him again as 'Shehzada' and blaming his family for "setting up systems in India as well as ruining them".
The BJP PM candidate urged the people to vote for his party in the second phase of Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh saying, "Chhattisgarh is 13 years old and it is important you take care of it to decide in which direction your state will head."
Taking a dig at the opposition party in the state, Modi said that the Congress was talking about change just because it was time for them to leave.
After attacking Sonia, Rahul, Modi goes after their father, grandfather
Bharatiya Janata Party prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has said the Congress is so preoccupied with monitoring him that it has no time to run the country.
Speaking at a rally in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh on Friday, Modi said, "Congress sits in front of TV sets to see what Modi is doing, what he is saying."
Without talking about his own preoccupation with the Congress first family, Modi quickly switched to his favourite pastime-bashing Nehru-Gandhi family members.
On Thursday, addressing a series of public meetings in Kawardha, home town of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, Modi had launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi over the use of Central funds by the BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh, asking whether the money came from his "Mama's (maternal uncle) house", a dig at Sonia Gandhi's Italian origin.
"I want to ask Shehzada that you keep on saying that we gave so much money, I want to know if he got the money from his Mama's house. Did you give the money by taking it from your Mama's house? This is the people's money," Modi had said.
Reacting to this, Congress had said that Modi had gone too far. However, on Friday, Modi made it clear that he could go even farther.
After attacking Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi publicly, Modi on Friday went after their ancestors.
Asserting that Sonia Gandhi keeps referring to systemic problems that prevent the development of backward regions, Modi asked people, "Who put these systems in place?" After a pause, he said, "Your father, grandmother did... for vested interests."
With a few days left to go before the second phase of voting in Chhattisgarh on November 19 and four other states (Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi and Mizoram) go to poll, the campaign has largely centred around vicious personal attacks from both parties.
Earlier this week, the Election Commission reprimanded Rahul Gandhi for accusing the BJP of inciting communal riots across the country in one of his speeches while it served a notice to Modi for his "khooni panja" remark against the Congress.
