Dubbing the Congress as a '125-year-old elderly woman', Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said the party leading the UPA has become a 'burden' on the country and it should depart for the sake of saving the nation.

"This 125-year-old elderly woman...can she do any good for the youth?," Modi asked at an election rally here, adding, the Congress cannot change the face of India (because it's too old). "The Congress party has become a burden for the country. The sooner it departs, it would save the country," he said.

Modi said India need the "29-year-old young" Bharatiya Janata Party. "It (BJP) is a youthful party. Its dreams are youthful, its intentions are youthful," he said.
