Modi in rush to take over PM's post, says Pawar

On the occasion, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said marketing techniques and media were being used to create an illusion that the BJP is an alternative to the Congress-led UPA.

“They are trying to misguide people of the nation.

I challenge the Chief Minister of Gujarat to compare the progress of Maharashtra and Gujarat over the years,” he said.  

People should not elect a candidate whose personality appears to be dictatorial, he said.

“He (Modi) seems to have hijacked his own party and is on a spree of insulting its senior leaders,” Chavan alleged.
