Dahod (Gujarat), May 10
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday expressed confidence that his party would form the next government in Gujarat, as he targeted the BJP-led central government “for creating one India for the rich and one for the poor”.
“In the BJP model, which has created two Indias, one for the rich and one for the poor, resources of the country belonging to the poor are being given to a few rich people,” he said.
Addressing a tribal rally, the Congress leader said the BJP-led government in the state had deprived tribals of their rights.

“The BJP government will not give you anything, but take away everything from you. You (tribals) have to snatch your rights and then only you will get what is yours,” he said.
“Tribal people through their hard work built roads, bridges, buildings and infrastructure in Gujarat. But what did they get in return? They got nothing. Neither good education nor health service,” he said.
Every brick of Gujarat is watered by the tribals with their blood and sweat.
But they were denied their rights and share. #AdivasiSatyagraha There is a movement of water, forest and land.
I guarantee that whatever the voice and desire of the tribals in the Congress government of Gujarat, the government will do the same.

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi said, “PM Modi is doing in India what he did in Gujarat as chief minister: creating two Indias – one for the rich and another for the common man.”
