Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Narendra Modi sparred on Tuesday (November 11) after the Congress leader invoked Mahatma Gandhi, as the Gujarat war hotted up on the last day of campaigning for the first phase of the assembly elections. Just 9 hours before the first phase of campaigning comes to an end in Gujarat, the Congress put out its star campaigner Rahul Gandhi. Gandhi scion finally jumped into the Gujarat poll battle with 3 rallies but failing to impress the electorate in Gujarat. While Rahul refrained from naming the Gujarat CM, Modi did not shying away from a direct fight.
