Congress national spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Sunday criticised the BJP and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for taking all the credit and hiding crucial information from the people, according to the Press Trust of India.


During his visit to Ahmedabad, Singhvi labelled Modi as a ‘man of damage to India’ and BJP as the ‘Bharat Jalao Party’. He was referring to Modi’s recent comment on the Gandhi family – the BJP candidate asked Congress to explain the ‘RSVP’ (Rahul Sonia Vadra Priyanka) model.

“I don’t know how true RSVP is, but, my RSVP response to Modi is that he is a ‘man of damage to India’ — Modi. BJP is Bharat Jalao Party” said Singhvi, who also accused BJP of divisive politics and provoking ‘brother against brother’.

Referring to Giriraj Singh’s jibe, Singhvi said, “Singh’s comment shows that BJP believes in creating a rift between communities and dividing the nation for their benefit, but today, I am here to talk about Modi’s false and misleading propaganda about development in Gujarat. I have no problem admitting that Gujarat has prospered, but that is because of the enterprising nature of the Gujarati people; not because of BJP or Modi being chief minister,” said Singhvi, who came prepared with data to support his claims.

Singhvi claimed that after Modi took over as CM in 2001, Gujarat’s average growth rate remained at 9 per cent to 10 per cent.

“If you go back and check figures of the past three governments, it was near 16% for almost 15 years, but no CM ever boasted about the achievement. While Modi, who actually brought down the growth, keeps on patting his own back,” Singhvi said.

@syed the nonsense people trolling you get is in response of the nonsense fabricated claims and accusations your trolls make. Every action has equal and opposite reaction. Stop that and you won't have the problem.
