Congress misusing CBI: Modi, on Gujarat poll bugle
Date: 11-09-2012In the election bugle for the Assembly Elections later in 2012, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday challenged the Congress to battle it out on the issue of development and not by using the CBI to target him. In a rally in Mehsana district in Gujarat, Modi hit out at the Congress-led UPA Government for misusing constitutional bodies for its own interest and its ease.
Mocking the protest against Modi by Congress, the BJP leader said that the party should not get restless and the decision depends on people, after listening to both the BJP and the Congress. Modi further slammed the Congress for questioning the constitutional authority that has questioned the Centre's governance and policies and has demanded for a Supreme Court monitored SIT into coal allocation and challenged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to face the probe. Promising to continue his fight against the Congress in the state, Modi reiterated that Gujarat is not dependent on anybody.
This is the first major election campaigning exercise being carried out by Modi ahead of elections to be held by the end of this year, after the state's Congress opposition organised four major yatras. Modi has named the yatra as 'Vivekananda Yuva Vikas Yatra' as it begins on the day when spiritual leader Swami Vivekanada made his historic speech at the Chicago Conference of World Religions, 150 years ago.
