Ahmedabad: After being
defeated by Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Shweta Bhatt, a Congress
candidate in Gujarat assembly polls and wife of suspended police
officer Sanjeev Bhatt, Thursday said people of Gujarat "can't see
the truth" and "deserve Modi."
"The result is unfortunate for the people of Gujarat. The people
can't see the truth. The people of Gujarat deserve Modi. They are
getting Modi," Bhatt told a news channel here.
Modi, a BJP leader, won from the Maninagar assembly constituency
on Ahmedabad's outskirts, defeating Bhatt by more than 70,000
votes.
Asserting that she would continue to work for the people of
Gujarat and for truth, Bhatt rebuffed allegations that she was
made a scape-goat by the Congress.
"There is not much development in Maninagar and many are afraid to
speak the truth," said Bhatt, adding that her fight was
ideological.
She said her defeat would have no effect on the couple's campaign
against Modi.
"I'll continue to be in politics and keep fighting against Modi. I
have always fought against injustice and fear and will continue to
do so," she said.
