"I appreciate Amit Shah for taking the party to new heights," Modi said while addressing at the Gujarat Gaurav Mahasammelan.
Attacking the Congress,he said the party always had a negative approach towards development of Gujarat.
"Congress party has always had a negative approach towards development of Gujarat. They did not even complete Sardar Sarovar project," Modi said.
He said: "Those questioning us on development of Gujarat must recall what their contribution has been for the state's progress."
BJP workers are attending the rally.
With less than two months to go for the assembly election in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the state where he had earlier served as the Chief Minister.
Modi, who was also the Gujarat chief minister till 2014, earlier tweeted: "I bow to the people of Gujarat for blessing BJP for decades. We will always fulfil the dreams of every Gujarati with full strength & vigour."
However, the Election Commission of India has so far did not announce the poll dates in the state.
The principal opposition party, the Congress, has already alleged the BJP of pressuring the Election Commission to delay the announcement of the poll dates in the states to facilitate Modi to offer some benefits to the people just few days before the election.
The BJP is in power in Gujarat since 1995.
