Modi should switch to power of love from politics of anger: Rahul

Bhuj: In a veiled attack on Chief Minister Narendra Modi, AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused him of practising "politics of anger" and said it was time people switch to the power of "love", preached by the Mahatma, to ensure progress of Gujarat."Common man's dreams are not looked at... it is just one man's dream that prevails in the state and who is doing politics of anger," Gandhi said without naming Modi.[caption id="attachment_558602" align="alignleft" width="380"] Rahul Gandhi at a campaign rally in Gujarat.
