This election is all about deciding Gujarat’s destiny for the next 25 years,” Modi said.The PM said he was making efforts to put Gujarat in the league of developed nations.”Time has come to take a giant leap now. And, I need your support to form a strong government in Gujarat. You don’t have to tell me your issues because I grew up here and I very well understand those issues. I appeal to you to make the BJP victorious in all the seats of Banaskantha,” said Modi, the BJP’s star campaigner for the Gujarat polls.
