Janta Sonia Gandhi ko Indira Gandhi ke roop mein dekhti hai. Magar kya Gujarat ke bahar ki janta ko yeh malum hai ki woh (Narendra Modi) kaunsi naali mein paida hua hai? Usko (Narendra Modi) pata nahi hai ki uske baap ka name kya hai, jo Sonia ji ke baare mein baatein karta rehta hai.<\/em> (I want to tell Narendra Modi — who always targets Sonia Gandhi for want of votes — that we do not need Sonia Gandhi’s birth certificate. Indian people see her as a reincarnation of Indira Gandhi. But do the people outside Gujarat know which gutter Narendra Modi was born in? He does not even know his own father’s name.)"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
