Congress sacrificing nation's interests for Gandhi family: Modi
Launching a stinging attack on the Congress, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today accused it of sacrificing the nation's interest for the Gandhi family for which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been appointed a 'night watchman'.
Modi, who grabbed the limelight at the BJP conclave here amid growing clamour to make him the party's Prime Ministerial candidate, tore into the Congress saying its "commission- seeeking" government at the Centre is destroying the nation like a termite.
The Congress tradition has been to sacrifice the nation's interest for the sake of one family, he said.
Without naming the Prime Minister, he said the Congress appointed a "night watchman" to keep the seat warm for the Gandhi family.
Modi, who was scheduled to speak on good governance in Gujarat, used the forum in his one-hour speech to lambast the UPA government and the Congress on corruption, security and governance issues.
"Congress is destroying this country like termites. It is very difficult to deal with termites - you finish them in one place and they rise in another. The only medicine for this ailment is sweat of the BJP worker. Only this sweat can free this nation from the termite that is the Congress," Modi said in his speech, amid applause from the gathering.
In what sounded virtually like an election speech in the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Modi said the time has come to throw out the Congress and bring in a government that is sensitive towards the sufferings of the people.

Modi mera naam | 03-Mar-2013Reply | Forward Anyone who has been in Gujarat during 2002 riots know what happened, how the RSS militia went on a killing-ra*ing spree, and how Modi told his police to look the other way!! Police were asked to swear on the Bhagwad Geetha that they will not protect the muslims. Muslim policemen were asked to turn in their weapons and go on leave. Only a few Hindu/muslim policement with conscience dared to face the rioters! This is the truth and no amount of modi's agenda can chnage the fact that he is a murderer disguised in a "development" cloAk
