Nagpur/Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s allegation against his predecessor Manmohan Singh over the Gujarat polls drew more condemnation on Tuesday with NCP chief Sharad Pawar telling him “shame on you” and Congress president -elect Rahul Gandhi calling it unacceptable.
“Shame on you, Prime Minister for making such allegations. You have made the allegations against this country's former prime minister and former Defence officials,” Pawar, a former defence minister, said.
The Prime Minister at an election rally in Gujarat on Sunday sought to link a dinner meeting hosted by suspended Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar for Pakistan dignitaries and attended by Manmohan Singh among others with the ongoing Assembly polls and a conspiracy against the BJP.
Modi had insinuated that his predecessor had colluded with Pakistan for BJPs defeat at the polls. The former premier responded by saying Modi was setting a “dangerous precedent” and asked him to apologise to the nation, a demand rejected by the union government.
