Congress justifies 'Maut ka saudagar' barb at Modi

However, the party has gone full steam in its attack on Modi over the past few weeks.

Party vice president Rahul Gandhi had compared Modi to Hitler earlier this month.

Gohil also took a dig at Modi over the much-flaunted "Gujarat model of development.'

He said farmers had committed suicide in Gujarat and about 3.5 lakh farmers had left agriculture. He said number of labourers had increased substantially.

Gohil also met Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and told him about problems concerning coastal security in Gujarat.
