Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party saying it has "hoodwinked" people by just laying foundation stones for projects and has done nothing for the poor. Speaking at a function organized to start work on the Rs 43,129 crore Barmer oil refinery project here, Modi said drought and Congress walk hand-in-hand and the state saw end of drought when the party was shown the door. Touching on the slugfest between ruling BJP and Congress over credit for the refinery, he said the Congress had only laid foundation stones for projects across the country to claim credit.
