"BJP has been running its Government in Gujarat for 22 years. I will only ask, what is the reason development is missing in the prime minister’s speeches," he said in a series of tweets.

Gandhi, who has  started “a question a day” series on social networking site with the tagline "22 saal ka hisab, Gujarat maange jawab”, said the PM has also not  answered any of his last questions. "I asked him ten questions on the Gujarat report cards, he did not reply."

Gandhi, who is tipped for the post of Congress President, also urged the people of Gujarat to vote in large numbers.

"Participation of voters is the soul of democracy. I welcome the first time voters in Gujarat. I appeal to the people of Gujarat to vote in huge numbers and make this celebration of democracy successful," he said.
