Ahmed Patel confident Congress will do well

In Vadodara, Congress leader Madhusudan Mistry is giving a good fight against Modi and “we are hopeful”, he said.  

“It's an artificial wave. You go to the rural areas and you will find. This wave is false and artificially created,” , Patel insisted when asked about the Narendra Modi wave in the Lok Sabha polls.

When pointed out that the crowds in rallies of Modi are much bigger than noticed in the election meetings of Rahul Gandhi, the face of Congress in these elections, Patel said that the gatherings in the public meetings of the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate are “stage managed crowd” and alleged that huge amount money was being spent on that.  

He also disagreed with the contention that it was the perception of a “weak” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh vis a vis “strong” Modi image that was doing the Congress in.  

“Such a talk is baseless will be proved by the results,” he said lauding the UPA government's works.
