"We will have to respond if the Chairman of the campaign committee of the BJP resorts to disinformation campaign and makes factually incorrect statements," AICC General Secretory Ajay Maken said a day after Modi's aggressive comments against Congress and the central government on various issues including the state of economy, development and corruption.
"The burqa of secularism is much better than naked communalism. While communalism divides, secularism binds," Maken said.
Accusing Modi of presenting 'erroneous' and 'false' figures, Maken confronted, that, a person who has "not been able to serve his own people properly" and "failed" in his own state has no business telling the whole country what to do.
Taking parallels from the achievements in Gujarat during Modi's tenure and the NDA rule at the Centre, Maken said the performance of the UPA was much better in all fields including GDP growth, tourism and education.
"I want to ask him what did he do in Gujarat that he keeps touring the whole country trying to give lessons to youths," he said, adding that only a handful from Gujarat won medals in Olympic and very tourists visited the state in ten years since Modi was Chief Minister. Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said the choice before people was an inclusive India or an India which is sectarian.
