Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday referred to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said Pakistan was desperate to make 'Shehzada' the prime minister. He also said the Congress party was a 'mureed' (follower) of Pakistan.

"The Congress is dying here and Pakistanis are crying," the Prime Minister said, addressing an election rally in Gujarat's Anand, adding, "Pakistan leaders want to make 'Shehzada' of Congress India's prime minister."

Slamming the Congress party further, PM Modi said, "The country has seen Congress's rule for 60 years, and BJP's 'seva-kaal' for 10 years. In Congress's 60 years of rule, around 60 per cent of the rural population did not have the facility of toilets. BJP accomplished this in just 10 years."

Prime Minister Modi also alleged the Congress wants to change India's Constitution to give reservations of the Scheduled Casts (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) to Muslims.

"I challenge Congress to give in writing that they will not change the Constitution to give reservations on a religious basis," he said.

Listing out the BJP's achievements, PM Modi said, "In the past 10 years, we gave tap water connections to 14 crore houses, while the Congress gave it to just 3 crore houses in 60 years."

"I have been working in Gujarat for many years. In 2014, you sent me to serve the country. While working in Gujarat, we had a mantra that Gujarat's development is for India's development. I have only one dream, when we complete 100 years of Independence in 2047, India should be a 'Viksit Bharat'," the Prime Minister said.

"It's my guarantee that I will work 24x7 to make India a developed country by 2047," PM Modi said.
