The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha made the remark while addressing a party workers' convention in Ahmedabad. "They (BJP) have challenged us by threatening us and damaging our office. Let me tell you that we are together going to break their government like they damaged our office. Take it in writing that Congress will contest in Gujarat and defeat Narendra Modi and BJP in Gujarat like we did in Ayodhya," Gandhi said.
"People of Ayodhya felt angry when they found that not a single local person was invited for the Ram Mandir's inauguration," he said. Congress will win Gujarat, and from the state it will make a new start, he said.
