New Delhi, Dec 9 (IBNS) : In a scathing attack on Narendra Modi, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said there is no mention of development in the speeches of the Prime Minister during his during the Gujarat election campaign.

"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.

. "There was no manifesto till the campaigning for the first phase ended. Is rhetoric the new government in Gujarat?"

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.

The first phase of polling in the two-phase Gujarat assembly election is underway in 89 out of the the state's 182 Assembly constituencies on Saturday.
