Hashmi said crores were spent on hiring buses, while one of the programmes saw an expense of Rs.28,800 for buying white skull caps "to show that Muslims were taking part".
Hashmi ridiculed Modi's Gujarat growth story, and said: "Even in Modi's constituency of Motinagar, a large section of the population do not have water or drainage."
"He has only spent crores on building his case as a successful chief minister and a prime ministerial candidate. Crores have been squandered to boost his image."
Asked how Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party were winning election after election in Gujarat, notwithstanding such allegations, she said: "When in a country, right wing forces are on the rise, all logic fails. The RSS and its other arms have played a big role in communalizing the minds of the people, particularly the youth."
