Attacking Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi said the SP chief was not capable of turning Uttar Pradesh into Gujarat in terms of development.

He was addressing a well-attended rally in Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday. Modi quoted Yadav as telling a crowd in Varanasi on the same day that Modi was not capable of turning UP into Gujarat. Replying to Yadav's barb with equal acerbity, Modi said Yadav was not himself capable of matching up to his development feats in Gujarat.

Making a reference to an alleged influx of workers from UP to Gujarat in search of work, Modi said there was not a town or village in Uttar Pradesh which does not send workers to Gujarat. He said he would be happy if Yadav turns UP into Gujarat and workers from Gujarat start coming to UP instead in search of work.

Hitting out at the state's caste-ridden politics, Modi said none among the SP, the BSP or the Congress was ever interested in the state's development. The Gujarat chief minister said if given a chance, his party can change the face of the state and lead it to the path of development.

With an eye on the sizeable Kurmi votes in the state, Modi told the crowd about his government's efforts to collect iron for the tallest statue of Sardar Patel, the former deputy prime minister, to be built on the river Narmada. He also told them how Patel's birth anniversary was celebrated all across Uttar Pradesh.
