Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the people of Amreli district to not waste their votes on Congress. He said that the Congress party doesn't have the roadmap for development and instead choose BJP in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections. 

Addressing a rally in Amreli on Sunday, he said that Opposition party can never do anything good for the region.  

"The BJP government did several works to strengthen Gujarat. Now, it is time to take a giant leap. And, Congress does not have the capacity to do that. The Opposition party can never do anything good for you," the prime minister said, quoted PTI. 

In 2017 elections, Congress had won all five Assembly segments in Amreli district - Dhari, Amreli, Lathi, Savarkundla and Rajula. 

PM Modi said that no Congress leader has a roadmap for the development of the state. "You cannot expect a Congress leader to take you on the path of development, ask any Congress leader what is the roadmap for development and they do not have any plan," he said. 

Asking what Congress has done for the region in the last five years, Modi said, "Now tell me what did they do for you (during these five years)? Do you remember at least one work done by them? Then why are you wasting your votes on them? To strengthen Amreli, I urge you to choose lotus (BJP) this time." 

PM also talked about government schemes being run by the government for welfare of all sections of the society.  

He said, "Under the 'PM Kisan Samman Nidhi' scheme, Gujarat's 60 lakh farmers have received Rs 12,000 crore. You can't expect such things from Congress. Just ask any Congress leader what is the roadmap for development and they will be clueless." 

Elections in Gujarat will take place on December 1 and December 5 while the counting of votes will be done alongside with Himachal Pradesh on December 8.
