Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched scathing attack on Congress and its Vice President Rahul Gandhi saying the party and its leadership has stooped to a new low by mocking his “poor origin”.

Here are the Live Updates-

# The solution to all problems is development. Development has to be continuous. We want to work even more for the people of Gujarat: PM Modi in Jasdan

# The Congress dislikes me because of my poor origin. Can a party stoop so low? Yes, a person belonging to a poor family has become PM. They do not fail to hide their contempt for this fact. Yes, I sold tea but I did not sell the nation: PM Modi 

# It was with the support of the Jan Sangh that a person from the Patel Community, Babubhai Patel became CM. Congress did not like this and ensured that Babubhai Jashbhai's government did not last: PM Modi in Jasdan

#  There was a person who led a life of discipline on Mahatma Gandhi's ideals, a disciplined & hard working son of the soil just like Sardar Patel but he he had the same 'flaw' of being a Gujrati, so he was not allowed to stay in national politics by them (congress): PM Modi in Jasdan

# A new party came up in Delhi, whose style is to keep abusing & running away. I thought Congress, being an older party would not indulge in such politics but they have also taken this short cut in the past two months and only hurled abuses and lies: PM Modi in Jasdan

# Congress is unhappy about demonetisation. They keep attacking me but I want to tell them...I have grown up in the same land as Sardar Patel. I will ensure that the poor get their due. We will not allow this nation to be looted: PM Modi

# India was attacked on 26/11 & in Uri. You can see how India responded in wake of both attacks. This explains difference between their Government and ours. Indian Express reported that on that side, dead bodies were taken in trucks so at least you (Cong) don't lie: PM Modi

# Officers did not want to get posted to Kutch region as the water here was black in colour. Congress did not allow Narmada water to come to Kutch region. What if the Narmada waters had come to Kutch 30 years earlier? It would have made such a big different: PM Modi

# Gujarat is my soul & mother, my relationship with you is that of equality since you call me brother: PM Modi 

# People of Gujarat will never forgive Congress: PM
