Modi said the Congress had no issues to speak on and no development work to show and that was why it was attacking him to divert people's attention.

"They think that by attacking Modi, they will win the elections but the fact is that they have not done anything for the people. They just don't have the will to work for the benefit of people," he said.

Appealing for votes of the minority community in Chandni Chowk, Modi said the BJP does not believe in votebank politics but in development politics.

"When we speak of votebank we don't refer to Muslims - this is what appears to people. But I speak from the bottom of my heart that votebank politics is not about Hindu-Muslim but it has worsened the plight of our country," he said.

Without taking the name of union minister Kapil Sibal, Modi referred to the Akash low cost tablet and said: "He was supposed to give lakhs of people the Akash... what happened to that scheme. Where has Akash gone?"

"I told him, please accept that your Akash scheme is a flop, but he refused to accept it," he continued.

Referring to the 2G spectrum case, he again targeted Sibal saying: "Mr Zero said there was zero loss (in the 2G allocation). He is steeped in his own arrogance."

Referring to his much-touted Gujarat model of governance, he said the Congress is arrogant and does not want to acknowledge the progress of his state.
