Narendra Modi never claimed to have saved 15,000 stranded Gujaratis: BJP

26 Jun 2013 Evaluate

BJP chief Rajnath Singh today said that Gujarat Chief Minister never gave any statement that he had rescued 15,000 Gujaratis from Uttarakhand. He said that Modi had gone to Uttarakhand to express his sympathies and it was wrongly being quoted as he evacuated 15,000 Gujaratis from there. Further he added that he personally talked to him about the issue on which Modi replied that he never gave such statement. 

Singh also said that 'BJP workers are sensitive and consider expressing sympathies and extending helping hand as their religion. He also added that he had appealed to party workers that no statement should be given to politicise Uttarakhand disaster.

Congress had attacked Modi saying he was trying to be a 'Rambo' following reports that the Gujarat Chief Minister had helped in evacuating 15,000 Gujaratis who were stuck in Uttarakhand.
