Kolkata: Socio-cultural organisation Anhad Tuesday accused BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi of projecting an "unreal" image of himself on the national stage.
Anhad said stories of Modi having given good governance, ushering development and ensuring transparency were "myths" propagated by hired public relations agencies.
"Modi is being projected nationally as a leader who is clean, charismatic and a visionary. An image of a new leader is being created by hired PR agencies and event management companies. But facts expose the myths of Modi's governance, development and transparency," Anhad founder-trustee Shabnam Hashmi told media persons here.
Refering to Modi's 34 "Sadhbhavna Upvas" (fast) programmes in Gujarat between September 2011 and February 2012, Hashmi said the events were organised by diverting huge amounts of funds from departments for projecting the chief minister.
"The first three programmes were held illegally, without any approval or by following government rules and regulations. Till date, the accounts have not been settled."
