"Modi government is not taking care of poor and has given 45,000 acres prime land at a throw away prices to an industrialist in Gujarat," she said.
She also criticised the government for overlooking the plight of Sikh farmers in Gujarat.
If this is Gujarat Model, which opposition wants to implement, then I can say "Hey god save country from this Gujarat Model".
