Cong reminds Modi of the US' denial
of visa |
|
Congress on Wednesday sought to deflate BJP's
euphoria over a US Congressional report praising Narendra Modi
for good governance, saying the same United States still
continues to deny visa to the Gujarat chief minister. "BJP has
decided to extoll a purported report by a US think
tank. They should also be congnizant that the same US still
continues to deny him a visa," Congress spokesperson Manish
Tewari told reporters here.

|
| He was responding to a volley of questions on
the US Congressional report identifying Gujarat as perhaps the
best example of effective governance and impressive
development in India and showering praise on Modi, saying the
state under him has become a key driver of national economic
growth |
|
Tewari also
ridiculed L K Advani's proposed yatra against corruption and the
fast being undertaken by Modi for peace, harmony and unity in his
state, indicating that these were signs of a power struggle in the
BJP ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
"Neither the yatra is about corruption nor the fast is about
Sadbhavana. Both are attempting political positioning," he
claimed.
"Both Advani and Modi are attempting political positioning which
is intrinsic to the BJP. It is apparent that lessons of 2004 and
2009 Lok Sabha polls are completely lost on BJP."
Taking a dig at the two BJP leaders, he said a "strange phenomena"
has enveloped the BJP as "an elder gentleman is on a yatra and
another gentleman on a fast..MORE
