Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani took a strong exception to his Rajasthan counterpart Ashok Gehlot's claim that liquor was freely available in Gujarat and its consumption was highest there among all states. He claimed such statements by Congress leaders showed their "dislike" for Gujarat and its people, including Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rupani sought an apology from Gehlot and said this is an insult of Gujarat and people will not forgive the Congress for this. "Instead of worrying about Gujarat, Gehlot should focus on (Rajasthan's deputy chief minister) Sachin Pilot," he said, in a veiled dig at the Congress over reports of infighting and factionalism in the party in the neighbouring state.
