Addressing the state executive meeting, Narendra Modi also hinted at change at the Centre and said the people of the country were fed up with the UPA govt.
Taking a dig at the UPA, Gujarat chief minister said the Manmohan Singh govt had not realised that their boat was sinking.
Targeting the Congress over corruption, Modi said the compulsions of coalition politics was preventing the party from acting against corruption.
He said the rupee had been devalued not due to the weakness in the economy but due to UPA's corruption.
There were reports of anti-modi protests outside the meeting venue. According to Times Now, police arrested pro-Sanjay Joshi protesters who were shouting slogans against the chief minister.
Meanwhile, the poster war within the BJP continued on Sunday with more pro-Sanjay Joshi posters and others apparently targeting Narendra Modi appearing in various parts of Rajkot city.
Reflecting a deep divide within the BJP on Sanjay Joshi's exit from the party, this is the third time after Joshi's unceremonious exit from the BJP's National Executive that posters have appeared in Gujarat in support of Joshi.
The posters that came up on Sunday near the venue of state BJP executive meeting venue at Atmiya college campus here said "Sanjay Joshi aage badho, hum tumhare saath hai" (Sanjay Joshi go ahead, we are with you).
Few posters targeting Modi also appeared in the city which read "Follow Raj dharma, and party dharma".
Though Modi's name was not mentioned on the posters, they were apparently targeted at the chief minister, as former Prime Minister A B Vajpayee had advised him to follow 'Raj dharma' after the 2002 riots.
Earlier, posters supporting Joshi and targeting Modi appeared in Ahmedabad a couple of times.
Baffled over the source of the posters, the BJP started an inquiry, but has not able to find out culprit so far.
Joshi, who was first removed from the BJP national executive meet, had quit the party last Friday.
He had reportedly told that he had quit the party due to "pressure being exerted on party leadership by Modi".
