Modi storms Amethi; attacks Sonia and Rahul

Amethi: Breaking an unwritten code, Narendra Modi today held a rally here in the Gandhi family pocket borough, attacking “family” politics but said he has not come for “revenge” but for “change” in this backward

Describing Smriti as his “younger sister” and his “representative”, he said, “time has come to snap the relationship between the family and the constituency. People here have been cheated.”

Attacking Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, he said, “you have committed sins. For 40 years, you have cheated three generations whose lives have been destroyed and their dreams shattered...I have come here to turn your dreams as mine, to convert your pain into mine.”

The campaigning by Modi in Rahul's constituency was significant as no top leader usually undertakes electioneering in the constituency of top rivals.
