well it looks like congress is afraid of modi rising as the next potential leader of BJP as well as a possible contender for the PM seat.sonia gandhi & rahul know this fact and i feel are responsible for the defection in the state bjp leaders who have fallen for the bait.they must have gone for the bait as modi does'nt allow any corruption in the state developmental programs...Modi 's name has grown beyond gujrat.the fact that PM has acknowledged this fact shows the true colors of the story behind the defection of the state bjp leaders..this election will be important to MOdi as well as for BJP .a loss here will mean a credibility blow for the BJP and Modi.
