Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday expressed confidence that the BJP would register a massive victory in the Gujarat Assembly elections.

“The BJP is very confident of winning the elections and it will register a massive victory on the basis of the work done by the government,”

He said the important work that the BJP government had done in Gujarat was to bring Narmada water to the parched regions of Saurashtra and the Kutch.

“This is a path-breaking work. The Congress has always tried to stop the Narmada project work. It [Congress] is anti-people and therefore people are with the [BJP] government,” he said.

In a veiled attack on Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who is currently on a campaign tour in north Gujarat, Mr. Javadekar said, “They are moving in a bus, while we are in the hearts of Gujarati people.”

Hailing the GST Council’s decision to cut tax rates on 178 items of daily use, Mr. Javadekar said, “People have welcomed the changes in GST.”
