Political leaders are making last-ditch efforts to woo the voters.

PM said it is the Unity of Gujarati people that fetched development and established peace and stability in the state over the two decades.  Mr. Modi credited Sauni Yojana for the upliftment of farmers in the region and took a dig at Congress for its anti-Kutch, anti-Narmada Yojana mindset and its divide-and-rule policy. The PM said the election will be decisive in shaping the future roadmap of the state.
