As Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in poll-bound Gujarat on his second visit so far this month, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Monday mockingly said that it would see "a rain of jumlas".
"Mausam ka haal: Chunao se pehle Gujarat mai aaj hogi jumlo ki barish (Before the polls in Gujarat, there will be a rain of jumlas)," said Gandhi on Twitter, attaching a news report.
Prime Minister Modi is expected to announce a litany of new projects in the state ahead of the announcement of polling dates.
The Election Commission, which last week announced poll dates for Himachal Pradesh, delayed making the poll announcement for Gujarat, which the opposition alleged was in order to allow Modi to announce more new projects.
