Congress leader Hardik Patel Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is staring at defeat in the Lok Sabha polls and claimed his party will get more seats than the BJP in Gujarat.
He also slammed Modi over his remarks against former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
"After the five phases of Lok Sabha elections, the smile on Modi's face has worn out. The BJP and Modi know they are staring at defeat," he said.
"Modi is still misleading the country," said the Patidar quota agitation leader from Gujarat while speaking to reporters here.
"I don't claim the Congress will sweep the Lok Sabha elections in Gujarat. But I am sure the Congress will get one seat more than the BJP in Gujarat (which has 26 seats), said the 25-year-old activist-turned-politician.
Slamming Modi for his remark against Rajiv Gandhi, he said, "I feel it (the statement) is very unfortunate for the nation."
