Hooda said: “I had also read in newspapers about foreign tourists visiting the much-hyped Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project, but I did not find even a domestic tourist on the riverfront when I reached here today.”

He said that he also found the water in Sabarmati dirty.

Festive offer

Hooda also took a jibe at Modi’s promise of bringing back black money. He said that there was huge difference in sayings and doings of Modi and BJP leaders.

“Modi promised to bring black money in 100 days after coming to power and deposit Rs. 15 lakh in bank accounts of every Indian citizen but nothing has happened  even after one year”, commented Hooda.
