Anand: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday launched a blistering attack on the Congress, saying its only "vision" was "division" of communities and accused party chief Rahul Gandhi of labelling all OBCs as "thieves".

He said the Congress operated an ecosystem that worked on spreading "lies" against him and his government, first when he was the Gujarat Chief Minister and then when he moved to Delhi in 2014. Modi said in its attempt to defame him, the opposition party was only maligning the country. "The Congress is running a system of lies. It played the same game when I was in Gujarat, it is doing the same after I moved to Delhi," Modi said, addressing an election rally in Anand.
