Under attack from Congress over his Gujarat model of development, Narendra Modi Saturday hit back saying the country wants to know about "RSVP (Rahul, Sonia, Vadra, Priyanka) model" from Congess leaders.

Addressing an election rally in this Bihar town, Modi, the prime ministerial candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party, referred to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra and said the country wants to know about the model in which Rs.1 lakh became Rs.300 crore in four years.

"They say RSVP in big functions. In India's politics, we have RSVP too and a media house threw light on their activities," Modi said.

"Rahul, Sonia, Vadra and Priyanaka...this is the RSVP model. Rahulji, you talk on Gujarat model but the nation wants to know this model," he added.

Opposition parties have been targeting Congress over the land deals concerning Vadra.

Referring to the United Progressive Alliance govenment as "mother-son" government, Modi urged people to get rid of the model for real development and change in their life.

"If you want change in life and better days, get rid of mother-son duo's model of government. Vote for BJP to form a strong and stable government to bring change in your life," he said.

Modi also addressed another election meeting in Supaul parliamentary constituency where he again targeted the Gandhis as well as Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his Janata Dal-United (JD-U).
