Congress president Rahul Gandhi Friday asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be "removed from Delhi" and his party would form the government after the Lok Sabha polls.

On the final lap of his election campaign in the Congress-JDS alliance ruled Karnataka, Gandhi also hit out at Modi for "what he has done" to his "guru", BJP stalwart L K Advani, saying that he should be "ashamed" of it.

Gandhi addressed rallies at Raichur and Chikkodi in north Karnataka and is not scheduled to again campaign in the state, which will go to the second phase of polls on April 23.

The first leg of the elections was held on Thursday.

At his rally in Raichur,Gandhi said, "People have decided in 2019 that in Karnataka, Congress and JD(S), in Andhra Pradesh Naidu (Chandrababu Naidu) and across the country those who are fighting against BJP, they will win. Narendra Modi will be removed from Delhi."
Gandhi, who addressed a rally in Gujarat earlier in the day said, "People have decided. I'm telling you people of Gujarat have decided, I am coming from Gujarat. There is an undercurrent in favour of Congress in Gujarat."
Assuring Congress and JDS workers that the alliance of the two parties would win here (in Karnataka), he said, "in Delhi, Congress will form the government."
Narendra Modi speaks about dharma, but see what he has done with Advani. He should be ashamed."
"He does not even do Namaste to him (Advani), he looks at the other side. Then he speaks about dharma."
Accusing Modi of not having fulfilled any of the promises he made, Gandhi said "he has destroyed crores of people,he has spread hate in the country, he spreads hate wherever he goes."
"Only if Narendra Modi goes, this country will be free, keep this in mind."
