Exhorting Rahul Gandhi's statement that the Congress vice-president had once attributed to his mother - 'power is poison' - Mr Modi said it is the Congress which held on to power for the longest time at the Centre and sowed the poison through its "divisive" politics.
"Congress is a divisive party. They believe in divide and rule; they believe in vote-bank politics, of making communities fight," the 63-year-old leader said today.
"Their only aim is to capture power and to achieve it they will resort to all sorts of conspiracies. You have to be wary of these people and understand their intentions," Mrs Gandhi had said at a rally in Karnataka yesterday in an apparent attack on the BJP's prime ministerial candidate.
Addressing a mammoth rally at Uttar Pradesh's Meerut district, almost 70 km from Delhi, Mr Modi also hit out at the ruling Samajwadi Party in the state, calling it a "Samaj-Virodhi (anti-social) Party" and accusing it of corruption and non-governance.
"In Uttar Pradesh, it is news when people get electricity," the Gujarat chief minister said.
Mr Modi also attacked the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi for its failure to check crimes against people from the north-east and Africa.
"It's a shame that a student from Arunachal Pradesh was killed in Delhi," Mr Modi said, alluding to the death of Nido Taniam in an alleged racist attack earlier this week.
"Sons and daughters from India's north-east are our own children," Mr Modi said.
