Talking to reporters, Ravat said "Modi and BJP leaders from Gujarat have cheated the people of Vadodara. They had sought votes saying that they were going to elect the country's prime minister and it will be pride of the six crore people of Gujarat".
Trusting them, the people of Vadodara elected Modi with a historic lead of 5.70 lakh of votes but this only resulted in disappointment among the people, Ravat said.
He reminded that Modi had a "habit" of "cheating people"
and that he had promised to make Vadodara city a "Shanghai" which he had failed to do.
BJP president Rajnath Singh had already hinted at Modi retaining Varanasi seat before polling took place on May 12 and so it amounted to "cheating" the people of Vadodara, Ravat said.
