Gandhi had hit out at PM Narendra Modi, claiming that 'cynical' sponsors of the investor summit no longer wanted to be associated with an event presided over by him.
In
a scathing attack on Rahul
Gandhi for his critical remarks on the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat
Summit, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani dubbed the Congress president as
a "shameless liar" who was desperate to see the state fail.
Rupani
said people of Gujarat have recognised Gandhi's "hatred"
for the state and have continuously rejected the Congress, and will
keep doing so.
Gandhi
had on Sunday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that
"cynical" sponsors of the investor summit no longer wanted
to be associated with an event presided over by him.
"At
the Vibrant
Gujarat Summit 2019, cynical sponsors no longer want to associate
themselves with an event presided over by NoMo. They have left the
stage, the way he likes it...Empty," he had said.

The
Congress chief had quoted a media report to target the summit,
conceptualised in 2003 by Prime Minister Modi when he was the chief
minister of the state to promote investment in Gujarat.
The
report claimed that the United Kingdom, after refusing to be a
partner country for the Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2019, said it had
decided to withdraw from the "showpiece state-led event"
due to lack of satisfactory "commercial outcomes".
Reportedly,
the UK is the second country after the United States to pull out as a
partner country for the summit.
Reacting
to Gandhi's tweet, Rupani Sunday night claimed that the investor meet
was seeing even more participation this time.
"Such
a shameless liar you are Rahul Gandhi. This time Vibrant Gujarat is
seeing even more participation. Here are the facts:," he said in
a tweet along with a link to a media report.
