They should have confronted Modi on his development plank and offered a credible way of continuing or increasing Gujarat's development to 14% ...
Congress should have not raised the Gujarat Riot issue, bcos in any case Muslims will vote for COngress, and Congres itself is not the right party to raise such things (which will only increase communal temperature and help Modi) also Congress has no better track record considering 1984.
Thirdly congress should not have allied with CPM and other parties which enterprenueral Gujjus look with deep suspicion, since CPM is non entity in Gujarat.
Fourthly by taking all BJP rebels, Congress has made a laughing stock of itself and remember that Wagela of Congress is a one Time RSS product who was active in Gujarat VHP programs. Congress has made itself as a B Team of Hindutva.
in short, it is not modi's win, it is a simple defeat of congress due to its lack of foresight and bad moves. Congress is also led by OBC leaders and BJP also led by OBC leaders and if they had tried Mayawathi route, things could have been different.
Anyway, Congress can forget Gujarat and now should now focus on wresting bengal from Commies , and Bengal with 42 LS seats should be freed from Communist Stalinist Tyranny

Do you moron understand Gujarath is the most progressive state in India? Why do you think it is? Think.... Congress did not take Modi on his development plank because they had no case to make! Then again Congress knows only divisive politics and it cannot win in any state based on the real issues.
