Pol parties, section of media misleading the nation: Azad

Azad also hit out at opposition BJP and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
BJP has become the party of an individual, Azad charged, while adding that Modi, the Gujarat Chief Minister, stood only for the prosperity of a few as compared to Congress, which represented development for all.

“BJP has become the party of an individual and it is also seeking votes in the name of an individual. When votes are sought in the name of an individual, it is dictatorship,” he said.

The country has a choice between rule by the majority, with all its diversity, and rule by an individual, he said.  

Azad said that the much-talked-about Gujarat model ranked below other states on various indicators. Many states have better models, he added.
