s prove otherwise. All the public services have been privatised. To counter Narendra Modi we have to look at his tenure as chief minister of Gujarat. We have to expose his false propaganda about development. We will have to look into issues like female infanticide,education,toilets,health, education, child malnutrition, manual scavenging and other similar issues. All the public services in Gujarat are privatised. There is no doubt that there is infrastructure development in Gujarat. But it is a completely non inclusive development model which leaves out all the marginalised sections including the Dalits, Adivasis and religious minorities. Gujarat has the highest number of farmer suicides after Maharashtra. There are no minimum wages for worker even in private companies and in Government service. Gujarat is witnessing a big labor up rising now.Even the Ahmadabad corporation sweepers are on strike from 31st December demanding minimum wages, provident fund and gratuity. Displacement in the name of development is huge in Gujarat. Gujarat doesn't not just have SEZs but also special investment regions where thousands of farmers are evicted like the SIR in Dholera which will have an international airport, port and recreation zones for NRI's and tourists. 5000 hectares of prime agricultural land is being acquired by the Government. By 2016 Modi would give away 62,000 hectares of agricultural land to industries. Narmada water is not used for irrigation or drinking. It goes to the industrial houses. In the name of beautifying Ahmadabad, as part of river front development project 2000 houses have been demolished in the city. 44 percent students drop out before 10th examination. 45 percent children are malnourished and about 47 percent women are malnourished.
