Modi went on to say that Gujarat Assembly elections will give a new direction to the country. "After a decade (as Chief Minister), I can say that the country has realised that road of vote bank politics was leading to destruction, while the politics of development is the right path. "When Congress will lose these elections badly as they had never before, people of other states and the entire world will realise that people of Gujarat have given a new direction to the country," Modi said in his election rallies in the state today.
